INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Never forget to have fun.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
One of my biggest challenges was back in 2003 or 2004, and I was racing my Dad’s car in a Sebring PCA Club Race. I thought I pretty much had the race wrapped up, and I was lapping cars with about 10 minutes left in the race. A guy I had passed, just nailed me. I learned how quickly things can change, not only in racing, but in life.
