I’m an up and coming pro race car driver from Park Ridge, IL and currently race a pro late model with Lorz Motorsports in the JEGS/ CRA All-Stars Tour series.

I also competed in two late model races to prepare for my move up in 2018 to a full time season in the late model. My ultimate goal is to race the NASCAR Monster Energy Series with a top level team. What sets me apart from other racers is my YouTube channel with a loyal fan base. We also have a great email list of people from over 30 states and several countries that sign up for hero cards on my website.

  • 30 YEARS of NASCAR at EVERGREEN, and the FRED BUTLER - JOHN GAY “MEMORIAL” HALL of FAME by Program Co-Editor Benson Chandler
    30 YEARS OF NASCAR AT EVERGREEN, AND THE FRED BUTLER - JOHN GAY “MEMORIAL” HALL OF FAME By Program Co-Editor Benson Chandler Evergreen Speedway celebrates 50 years of (what I like to call) “the modern era” of Saturday night racing, in 2015. It was 1965 when Figure-8 and Mini-stock racers were officially organized, and the two racing “clubs”, F.E.A.R. and F.S.C.R.A., were formed. It was 30 years ago that NASCAR came aboard, and this Evergreen Speedway “Hall of Fame” finally created! “For outstanding dedication and contributions to auto racing” …was sometimes printed on the annual award, and always on the header in the program each season. The Hall of Fame was created by (then) Promoter Mickey Beadle in 1985, and with that goal in mind, the “Hall” has consistently inducted special people, most of them exceptional racers, or long time employees. Several exceptional supporters of our track have also been inducted over the years. In fact, the Hall of Fame was re-dedicated in 1988, after the tragic double loss of super supporter Fred Butler, and Super-stock racer, John Gay. Both were inducted into the Hall that year posthumously, and their names added to the top of the Hall of Fame “Memorial” header here and in the Program, so both might remain in our hearts, forever. The latest Hall of Fame inductees were Ron Daggett and Don Scriver. Learn about them both under the year 2014, the same year we lost 3 other Hall of Fame members, Mick Tomlin, Gordy Stewart and Don Perry, as we continue through our second quarter-century of NASCAR at Evergreen Speedway, guided now by Doug and Traci Hobbs, and Highroad Promotions Co.

  • 2020 Marketing Information
    2020 MARKETING INFORMATION Pictured: 2019 CARS Tour Old North State Nationals WHAT IS THE CARS TOUR? The CARS Tour was formed out of the former USAR Hooters ProCup Series, long considered the premiere short track development series in the 2000s for drivers looking to advance their careers to the upper levels of NASCAR. Because so many CARS Tour competitors have dreams of competing in NASCAR, the cars raced in the CARS Tour closely resemble the racers seen in NASCAR except with less expensive technology and rules to control costs. The CARS Tour hosts two types of popular pavement short track racing divisions, with most being held as dual division events. This allows fans to catch the action of both the Super Late Model and Late Model Stock divisions racing at the same track on the same night, for the price of just one ticket. Late model stock cars, a machine from which the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars originated in the 1980s and is still popular in the southeast today, weigh in at over 3100 lbs, teaching drivers car control and momentum as they advance their career. The super late model cars boast nearly 600 horsepower and weigh in at less than 2800 lbs, the true speed demons of short track racing where drivers learn to handle large amounts of horsepower. The CARS Tour has attracted teams from across the motorsports industry, including teams competing annually owned by NASCAR notables Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch. In addition the tour has grown on loyal veteran short track drivers that fans have grown accustom to.

  • Hamlin Headlines Weekend with Bristol Win
    Hamlin Headlines Weekend with Bristol Win August 19, 2019 PLANO, Texas. (August 19, 2019) – Denny Hamlin’s win at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday highlighted the racing action for Toyota over the weekend. NASCAR Hamlin captured his fourth win of the season on Saturday night in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) race at Bristol. Hamlin led 79 laps (of 500), passing Camry driver, Matt DiBenedetto, for the lead with 11 laps to go. DiBenedetto tallied a career-best second-place finish after leading a race-high 93 laps at the Tennessee short track. “I’m so sorry to Matt DiBenedetto, (crew chief) Mike Wheeler,” said Hamlin, following the win. “I know a win would mean a lot to that team, but I have to give it 110% for FedEx and my whole team. Proud of this whole FedEx team for giving me a great car, pit crew, crew chief, everybody doing an amazing job. The whole team is just doing an amazing job right now.” Kyle Busch (fourth) also finished in the top five after coming from a lap down to lead 30 laps, as Toyota drivers led a combined 277 laps throughout Saturday night’s MENCS race. Timmy Hill was the top-finishing Supra driver in Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Bristol, matching a career-best seventh-place finish. “Bristol has always been a great track for me and I’m glad we could put on a great finish here,” said Hill, following the race. “MBM (Motorsports) and HRE (Hattori Racing Enterprises) came in collaboration for this race.
