Matt started racing in 2003 in the Pure Stock Class at Western Kentucky Speedway because his Father raced when Matt was a child and the thrill and adrenaline rush of out racing was passed down.  His first win was in 2003 in the Pure Stock Class at Western KY Speedway.  Career highlights include Pure Stock Track Champion  in 2004, his brother Brian and Matt finishing 1st (Brian) and 2nd (Me) in Points Standings in 2005.

The thrill of racing for Matt is the excitement, felt by Matt and the fans after taking a victory.  His most exciting racing moment were the many victories and several heated battles with other talented drivers around the area.  He's most proud of being able to be competitive and stay competitive by finishing 5th in the Points in his first full year of racing and going on to win the Points Championship in his 2nd year and then follow his brother in 2nd place as he won his Championship in his second year.

Matt's racing heroes are his Father, late Roger Markham, #11m of Peoria Speedway in Illinois and Jeff Gordon.

Of racing, Matt says, "Racing is a family oriented sport that can be fun and exciting for all ages!".
