#71

Josh Sams lives in Greenville, S.C. His home track is Greensville Pickens Speedway but he can also be found racing at Anderson Motor Speedway.

He began racing in 2003 in charger Class at Greenville Pickens Speedway, because  it had always been a dream of his since he was a kid. His first win was in 2003 at Greenville Pickens in Charger Class.

Career highlight includes 2nd Place in Points in his second year of racing  and Fan Favorite in his Division in 2004.

 His most exciting racing  moments were when he raced with his dad, "My first time I lead any laps at Anderson, me and my dad were in the same race and I raced him on the outside for about 3 laps when he caught me".  Also his first win, "because the clutch rod came off and we had a red flag and it was my 9th race, so me being a rookie I had never been in that situation before, I had to get pushed off for the restart but I managed to pass the leader with 3 laps to go."

The thrills of racing for Josh are the competition, the rush he gets when the green flag drops, and Most of all the thrill of winning. Hw is most proud of his 2nd Place in Points  in 2004 and the Fan Favorite in his Division.
