About Jim

Started building Figure 8 stock cars with my dad in the 60's and actually started racing in 1972 with a home built dirt open wheel car owned by a good friend of the family. Raced sports cars early 70's, then back into dirt stock cars in 1978. Ran a couple of years then took time off for work and family and raced stock cars, late models, modifieds and sprint cars sporadically in the 80's to present. My favorite is sprint cars without a doubt. I might be getting older, but I refuse to grow up...you need to live life to the limit and never, ever give up.

Career Highlights

Winning my first sprint car race at 57 years old.

Hobbies

Racing, traveling, photography

Crew Members

Rita, Shannon and the rest of my boys when they're in town. And my brother in law, nephews and nieces when we race as a family.
