Tony started racing in 1992 in the 4 Cyl Stock Class at Wake County Speedway because his Dad raced a long time ago so it in Tony's blood.  He decided to give it a try and has raced ever since.  His first win was in 1994 in the 4 Cyl Mod Class at Wake County Speedway.  Career highlights include Wake County Speedway - 4 Cyl Modified '94 -1 win, '95 - 4 wins, '96 first Point Championship and 9 wins, raced at Kenly SNS - 1 win in Pro Truck in '01.

The thrill of racing for Tony is going fast.  His most exciting racing moment was when they had a big wreck and he ended up under his Step-Dad and others who went over the fence or wall in turn 1.  He's most proud of winning a Championship!  He was always told that deaf people couldn't race and win and I did and was very proud!!!

Tony's racing heroes are his Dad, Step-Dad and Jeff Gordon.

Of racing, Tony says, "Do it!".
