The Hosts

37, large build, loves racing and family...
Wait! this isn't my Tinder bio!

I am the goofy one on the show, I tend to struggle with words and the stuff that comes out of my mouth is a show in its self!

I started racing in 2018 but grew up watching some of the best racers at Berlin Raceway every Saturday night. I started out in the Zoo Stocks at Kalamazoo Speedway and moved up to Street Stocks in 2022 (sorta)

In my spare time you can catch me coaching my sons flag football team, hunting and spending time with my family.

I am married to my best friend Alicia and we have 2 kids together, Sophie and Brantlee. We are a "blended" family with her bringing Cam into the marriage and me bringing Lacey into our marriage. My family is one of my biggest supporters and I am forever thankful for them. They push me to never give up and to always be better!

Well, I can’t top Chad’s, but here it is anyways!

I’m a damn good time. You can catch me at Kalamazoo Speedway on Friday night’s supporting all of the Paul Jakubik Performance cars, whether it’s Bubba Darrow in his #69 Zoo Stock, Jimmy Hamman in his #6 Zoo Stock, Chad VandenBerg in his #32 Street Stock, or myself wheeling my #51 Outlaw Super Late Model. Ask us about our stacker car…I dare ya!

I’ve won Sportsman of the Year 5 times in my career in every division I’ve raced, from street stocks to SuperPro template late models, up to the outlaws. Something I am really proud of!

If I’m not at the races, I love traveling and fine dining. I have 110 octane and Miller Lite running through my blood. Racing has been a staple in my family since I was born. My dad raced outlaw late models at Owosso Speedway so naturally, I grew up learning everything from him and my mom who was quite the avid street racer back in her day – make sure you ask her about a certain incident on Ford Road!

My family and friends mean the world to me, and this wouldn’t be possible without their support – especially my wife, #51 ½. Mary has taken on a large role when needed when our normal crew chief, Tom, is in Nicaragua on rescue missions for blind and deaf lizards. But seriously - Mary, mom, dad, Tom, Chad, Brad, Dave, and Bubba – you all rock as teammates!
