Hey everyone. What’s happenin’? Well, I’m honored to have been chosen as the first guest driver to appear on the new DragIllustrated.com website. It looks like this might be something that myself and a few other drivers get the opportunity to do, but for the time being it’ll be a ride-a-long with me in the ADRL Extreme 10.5 division. Right now, we’re focusing heavily on the Shelor.com Spring Drags in Tulsa, Oklahoma; we’ve had a few opportunities to change up our combination (swap out the 10.5s for a pair of big Mickey Thompson's), but I think it’s important that we stick to the course and focus on winning an ADRL World Championship. While every round counts, we’re basically practicing for the big dance come October in Dallas. The way the ADRL Championship program is structured with the top 8 drivers in points doing battle in a winner-take-all shootout at the end of the year, definitely keeps things exciting all year long, but it makes a race team really have to be on the ball when it counts.

We’re getting ready for Tulsa right now and I’ll be sure and keep you posted as the race draws near.
