David started racing in 1996 in the Quarter Midgets Novice Class at Silver City Speedway because when he was 5 years old he started racing because it looked like fun.  His first win was in 1997 in the Quarter Midget Class at Thompson International Speedway.  Career highlights include racing Quarter Midgets for 11 years, 8 Track Championships, 23 Sponsor Cups, 1 Eastern Grand Nationals and over 300 trophies.  David just started racing in Micros in '06 and then moved to North Carolina.  He will be racing at the new Hammerdown Speedway in '07!

The thrill of racing for David is winning!  His most exciting racing moment was winning the Jr. Halt Eastern Grand Nationals in NJ, winning the Heavy B Winter Nationals in Las Vegas and winning the Heavy B Super Feature in PA.  He's most proud of moving up to Micro Racing with his best finish, so far, being 3rd.

David's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Of racing, David says, "Start racing as young as you can.  It teaches you good sportsmanship!".
