1. What has it been like racing ARCA this year?

TC: It’s been great! A lot goes into building a successful team, and it’s stressful, but when I put my helmet on the stress, the long nights, everything goes away!

2. What has been your best race this far in your opinion?

TC: That’s a hard one. I had a pretty good car and finished well for Berlin and Elko, but I think as a team, Charlotte was a strong showing for us. The intermediate tracks are where the bigger teams have a bigger advantage, and we were right there with them!

3. What are your favorite hobbies outside of the racing world?

TC: Anything with my son! He has a new interest in off road powersports, I was big into it when I was younger, so I guess we need to find us some toys here soon!

4. What is your favorite racing memory?

TC: This whole year really, my family, my getting to be there with me, and seeing their reactions after the races is priceless. On top of that, EJ Tamayo has had some awesome runs in our late models, seeing his success is definitely gratifying.

5. What is your pre-race routine like or favorite pre-race activities before a race?

TC: I try as much as possible to just take it all in, I try to not over annualize the race itself, I more try to just be in the moment at the track. I’m so excited just to be in the position I’m in. I don’t want to miss any part of the day.

6. What kind of music do you listen to? Favorite Album?

TC: I’m all over the place with music, I grew up in a family of musicians, so I love music, helps me calm down, helps me dream up new ideas. But not really a favorite band or genre, I like it all.

7. If you could have 1 sponsor onboard for a race, who would it be and why?

TC: I have always wanted to drive the Menards car, one because the neon yellow is sweet but most Importantly I love what Menards does for the sport, they have have logos on cars, tracks, and series, so to be partnered with a company that loves racing the same way I do would be amazing!

8. If you could make a race track and had an unlimited budget, what would you name the track, and what type of track would it be?

TC: Short track indoor! I don’t know how it would be possible, but it would put on one heck of a show! I would probably at least nickname it “the dome” or something like that.

9. What are your goals for the rest of the 2023 season and 2024?

TC: Plans for me driving is up in the air, just like everyone else we need sponsors to make it all work, but we will continue to work hard to find partners to work with, as well as focus on our Arca and late model driver development program.

10. What’s your racing schedule the rest of the year?

TC: Again, nothing is nailed down yet, but going to continue to work our tails off to make races happen!
