Driver Bio: | During the day, I’m an air ambulance pilot, and on weekends I race Pontiacs like I’ve been doing for 30 years. A special thanks goes out to Jeff Robertson of Roanoke, VA, who tunes the car, and without his help, I wouldn’t be where I am today; Joe Wetsch of WRC Racecars in Bismarck, ND-- for the amazing work that he did in transforming the Dirty Bird into Goateus Maximus; Dave Wilcox--for his ongoing knowledge and support; my family--for putting up with my need for speed and helping me reach this dream. More to come; we’ll see you next year! |
