Damon started racing in 1994 in the Hobby Stock Class at Marshalltown Speedway because his Uncle David got him started.  His first win was in 1995 in the Hobby Stock Class at Marshalltown Speedway.  Career highlights include 1999 placed 2nd in Hobby National Championship, 2000 won HObby National Championship, 2005 won Stock Car National Championship, 2004 won Stockville Championship in Knoxville, 2006 won Stock Car Shootout at Marshalltown Speedway, 2005-2006 won Track Championship at Benton County Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Damon is winning both Hobby and Stock Car National Championships, making him the only driver to do that.  His most exciting racing moment was finally making it into the A Main of Super Nationals this year and not fighting for it Tuesday and Wednesday!!  Also winning the Stock Car Shootout.  He's most proud that they have a lot of fun racing and that it's even "funner" being able to win!

Damon's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Of racing, Damon says, "That it's a great sport especially when you have a family to go along and support you!  And the claiming engines suck!".
