Legend Car Dirt Nationals Finish (BAPS Motor Speedway): 6th
1. How does winning the 2024 INEX Masters Dirt National Championship compare to your three previous Pro Dirt National Championships?
This championship is maybe a little extra special for me compared to the previous ones. The last time I won the Pro Championship there wasn't as many big teams that offered setup help and other services like there is now, so being able to win this on my own against these big teams definitely means a little more.
2. What was your biggest challenge in 2024?
My biggest challenge this year was trying to find the right shock combination that would fit my driving style, once I was able to get that figured out the wins finally started coming, there's definitely still room for improvement though.
3. What is your favorite memory from the 2024 season?
There's so many great memories made every week but some that are extra special to me is being able to spend time with my wife and son every weekend and being able to celebrate together in victory lane are memories that will last forever.
4. How difficult was it keeping your championship rivals within reach during the Legend Car Dirt Nationals Championship Feature?
It was definitely tough. Them guys are there for a reason because they are the best of the best so just trying to drive smart and keep myself in a safe position was a real struggle, especially with all the cautions.
