Hometown: Unadilla, N.Y.
Born: Nov. 21, 1964


Another Modified mainstay making up the 'Elite 11' list in 2005 was a contender at all 21 stops on the Advance Auto Parts tour. He triumphed in the return to Albany-Saratoga (NY) Speedway and added his second victory in the coveted Eckerd 200 during the rain-delayed Super DIRT Week show on the Syracuse Mile. He tallied eight top-five and 15 top-10 finishes while posting four fast qualifying times ---with records set at Canandaigua and Hagerstown--- to secure fourth in the final Mr. DIRT points chase. He opened the season with a Florida Tour victory at Volusia and added five more big-block feature wins at Empire State ovals Brewerton and Fulton speedways during the summer.

Career

The 'Franklin Flyer' has quickly gained national prominence by copping four televised Eckerd 200 Championships held at the New York State Fairgrounds while racking up 134 big-block feature wins in a 20-year open-wheel career that includes 32 Advance Auto Parts Modified Super DIRT Series victories. He has garnered nine individual DIRT track championships as well as the overall 1998 Hoosier-Sunoco Mr. DIRT Modified crown, adding three Lebanon Valley 200 and a pair of Rolling Wheels National 200 triumphs along the way.
