Riding, running, boxing, weight lifting, stretching, and fueled eating habits

Do you race in a Local Series? If so, tells us about it?

I practice one to two times per week on the farm or at a local track, and the Mid-South races are also used for practice.

Do you practice with anyone?
I practice with my Bro and few friends who just love riding

Why do you race in the GNCC Series?
It's so demanding. You need skills in motocross, hill climbing, tree dodging, rock climbing, and mud bogging, which are only a few of the things you will encounter during a race.

What are some of your highlights from this season?
My 5th Overall at “The Lonestar” and 4th Overall at “Steele Creek.” Also, the 2nd Place finish at ATV 12 hours of America Finally, the great photos ATVriders.com has captured of me with the girls.

Which race this season would you like to forget?
The Final Round at "The Ironman” because I DNFed the race, whichs wasn’t the way that I wanted to end the season.

What were your favorite racers this year & why?
Bill Balance because he can never be counted out due to his consistency. Even if he is few minutes off the pace, he will push ahead and sneak up on the leader. Also, Chris Borich because he's hungry for a championship and it shows when he is riding.

What were your worst races this year & why?
“The Spartan”, “The Penton”, and “The Patriot” because if it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all with the mud and mechanical failures which slowed me down due to my own bad judgment

What was the most important thing you learned this year?
Dealing with a bad race day.

Are there any locations you wish were added or removed from the GNCC Series?

To TRAIN! I am going to eat as much pizza, medium cooked steaks, spaghetti, and corn dogs as possible. And TRAIN! Lasagna is good too

Are you excited about heading back to Texas next year?
Yes, because the terrain is much different. It's rocky. It's demanding. It's fast.

Do you expect more factory involvement next season?
Yes, The extra spectators and riders are making the difference.

How many people do you have in your pit crew & names?
Two People, Jeremy Vincent and Jimmy Duff

Would you consider racing some GNC races if they weren’t the same weekend most of the year?
