In 2016, My racing career started with two wheels racing all over Ohio in the Ohio Motorcross Association(OMA) winning some races and having fun. During my time of two-wheel racing, I was interested in racing something with four wheels. So then in 2019, I switched things up and I started to race go-karts at the Thompson Speedway in Thompson, Ohio. There I learned the basics of pavement racing and competed with some of the best in the state. In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic canceled racing and I put my focus on Iracing( Iracing is the world's top racing simulation system. Iracing allows drivers to turn laps, both for practice and competitively, in a realistic, virtual setting that accurately simulates the feel of race cars on some of the most famous racetracks in the world.) Since I was a kid I dreamed of racing in NASCAR and during my time of racing other series I wanted to be racing legend cars. Iracing was able to give me a feel for what it would be like to race on ovals and it confirmed for me that's the path I wanted to take. At the beginning of 2021, we sold our karting equipment knowing not what would happen and I was a very lucky partner with the KNOX Racing Legend Car Team to help me purchase a car and help me at the track. So In March of 2021, we were off to the races (literally) preparing this car to race at the Barberton Speedway in Norton, Ohio. To start the 2021 season I had never driven anything other than a go-kart so this 150 Horsepower beast would be a huge challenge for me to learn and the team to coach me, but a challenge that we took head-on. Through all the highs and lows in my first year against the best drivers in the state of Ohio and from around the United States we were able to get 1 feature win, 2 Heat race wins, 8 top fives, 6 poles(in a row, with the last 6 races) and fastest lap time(in my class). I got 3rd(out of 33) in overall points and rookie of the year. Stats no one thought was possible for an inexperienced driver.
