It only gets tougher as I move up the ladder in racing. I feel this type of competition prepares me for the challenges ahead and I want to be ready for them. I would like to thank the NASCAR Drive for Diversity for the opportunity they gave me and for making it possible for me to compete this season. I would also like to thank Leicht Motorsports for the help they gave me.
