Keith started racing in 2006 in the Street Stock class at Thunderbird Speedway.  Career highlights include Top 10 in '07 at 85 Speedway and Top 15 in '08.

The thrill of racing for Keith is having fun, going fast, and the butterflies in his belly.  His most exciting racing moment was winning his first Heat in '08 with his Street Stock.  He's most proud of learning different things you thought you knew but you learn that sometimes you do not know.

Keith's racing hero is Eldon Dotson "Dirt Track Cowboy".

Of racing, Keith says, "It is fun and a great sport you learn how to beat the opponent.  It is kinda like a video game but realistic.  It is a rush that only you would feel behind the wheel!".
