"I spent nearly every summer, growing up, at Spartan or Springport watching my godfather, Mert Thompson, race. Then I worked on the #51 DST Racing Street Stock, as a crew member, at age 12 until the present."
"I took a metals class at school, learned to weld, and did a lot of the welding on Dave Thorburn's 'new' Street Stock at age 14. Then at the end of Spartan's 2005 season, I bought Howard McDonough's Street Stock, worked on it all winter at Dave Thorburn's shop, and the #6 Sprague Racing Street Stock was born. I put #6 on it because Mark Martin is my favorite NASCAR driver."

"My first night out at Springport, I qualified over 2 seconds slower than the fast qualifier. My last night out, I started on the pole for the fast heat. What a difference some seat time makes!" "My plans are to attend the Capital Area Career Center, beginning this fall (2006). I am enrolled in their Welding Technology program. After graduation (in 2008), I plan to attend LCC and enroll in their Welding Technology (NASCAR applications) program, as well as the High Performance program." |
