Bruce started racing in '04 in the Charger Class at Virginia Motor Speedway because his Dad was the '71 VA Go Kart Champion and he wanted to follow in his footsteps racing something.  Career highlights include 4 years in the Charger Class at VMS running the #33 Monte Carlo, first year in the Sportsman Division running same number and color as his Dad, running for Rookie of the Year.

The thrill of racing for Bruce is it's a family thing.  His most exciting racing moment was several years ago they raffled a bicycle and a 6 year old boy won.  He asked his Mom to bring him to the pits to meet Bruce and get his picture taken.  That was awesome!  He's most proud of watching his wife run 2 seasons and finished 10th in Points each season and beating the boys!  Wow that is cool!

Bruce's racing hero is his Father, Joe.

Of racing, Bruce says, "You have to remember it's all for fun, spending time with family and friends!".
