Billy started racing in 1995 in the Dirt Modified Class at Hartford Speedway and Crystal Raceway because he "got the bug" to follow in his Father's footsteps.  His first win was in 2001 in the Sportsman Class at Berlin Raceway.  Career highlights include 2001 won the first Feature opening night of the season in a 6 Cyl Truck.

The thrill of racing for Billy is getting to run his home track and having the chance to drive in touring series such as ARCA and the Sunoco Series. His most exciting racing moment was 2003 ARCA/REMAX race at Berlin Raceway where he started on outside Pole, got sent to the back of the field when he stopped to adjust steering wheel, fought his way back to the lead pack several times to finish 7th against the biggest names in ARCA/REMAX Series.  He's most proud of having the privilege to be associated with D&B Motorsports.

Billy's racing hero is Fred Campbell.

Of racing, Billy says, "Learn about the cars, equipment and the sport in general, from the ground up!".
