HISTORY
Well like every racers start, it was due to my parents. I can't thank them enough for what they gave me and sacrificed for me to build a career out of. They started me out racing BMX bicycles around age 5 and then I started racing Flat track around age 7. My dad was a friend of Scott Parkers, so from the beginning I wanted to be like him and race flat track. My parents brought me up through the amateur ranks and in 1999 I won the Horizon Award, capping off my amateur career and starting my pro career. I've always looked up to Scott Parker throughout my whole life basically, and am fortunate enough to have guidance from him. I'm not sure if I could have won the Springfield Mile without knowing a few of his old tricks. The last few years Nicky Hayden has became one of my heroes. Not only because he's super fast but because he's a down to earth guy that hasn't forgot where he came from.
