By God I’m going to race an F4, a car I’ve never taken a lap in, at
@HomesteadMiami
Speedway this weekend in front of a lot of people.
The generous offer to drive and the ridiculous funds to pay for it happened in 2 days. 🤯 I’m training in the sim now.
Lord help us here we go.
Beat the track record by 0.5 seconds in qualifying and put it on the pole. Gotta beat the record during the race to make it official.
Little buddy Brayden Westfall came by from my karting days.
Qualifying Day I put down my best lap since setting foot in an F4 for the first time yesterday. Everyone faster than me had track and seat time here, so I feel good about qualifying in 9th.
Let’s see how I can do in the two races Sunday. Wish me luck!

Winner! Swept 🧹 the weekend, two poles and two wins.
Thank you Team RaceDog for the opportunity to get back to what I love doing.
Despite cold temps and drizzle, I came to within 0.03s of getting the official track record in the Sunday race…aaargh!
I’ve been given an incredible opportunity with Team RaceDog picking me up for the season. Much ❤️ and 🙏!
Next weekend we kick it off with an SCCA Majors race at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Texas.
Unfortunately there is no live broadcast for this race.

Great first race day for

. I qualified on the pole, beating the track record by 0.5s.
I won the race and was trying to get that official track record, but cooling cloud cover kept us at 0.3s off.
Got to visit with several friends and fans today.
Do it again Sunday.
Sir Jack gives the best spin of my number 32. Now can y’all stop saying my number should be 33? Wouldn’t that be a bad thing anyway? 🤣
FYI, 32 was my dad’s number when he won two NCAA wheelchair basketball championships. I’m sticking with it.

Practice Day
Got to 0.5s from the track record.
DeLeon Films filmed for the second part of “DRIVEN - Need for Speed”.
I was interviewed for the Eagles Canyon Raceway video.
Old family friend and his son hung out with us. It was the first time he had been to a race track.
Gorgeous weather 🌞 to start out our second testing weekend with Team RaceDog. We had two cars on track.
Some young race fans stopped and asked if they could look at the car. We had to insist that a shy young one sit in the car where I showed him how everything works.
Winner!
Qualifying just behind USF F4 driver Daniel Cará, I took the lead in turn 1 and never gave it up.
I now have enough points in the series to clinch the SCCA Southern Conference Championship in the FX class!
After poor qualifying due to traffic with 14 driver entries,
