My family owns an automotive machine shop where I work. We have done several race motors over the last few years, but we do mostly non-racing work. We have started doing more race engines under the name Maniac Racing Engines. Our engines have several wins in different classes including street stock, modified street, open wheel modified and limited late model.
I grew up around the race track. My dad raced stock cars and modifieds as long as I can remember. When he finally won the track championship in an IMCA modified, he decided it was time for him to quit racing and let me race full time. We went cart racing, competing in several states across the midsouth. After several successful years in carts, I decided to go car racing. After a decent run my first night out, I drew a front row outside starting position for the second night. On the start of the race I got into the corner too high and left the track airborne and flipped several times, destroying my car. While I was in the process of rebuilding my car, I had the opportunity to team up with a friend and move to the Limited Late Model division. We ran about 10 races in it last season with one win and became a consistent top 5 finisher. So far this season we have won 2 races at 2 different tracks and are 7th in points only 23 behind the leader at Thunderhill Raceway in Summertown,TN.
My current ride is a 2012 Pierce by Putnam Chassis powered by a Maniac Racing Engine Limited Late Model.
