Long Term Career/Racing Goals:

My long-term goals are to be successful in the series I am running, hopefully it will be Nascar or IRL.  At 16, I was put on a path that was to eventually put me in Nascar Trucks at 19, then on to Nationwide and Cup.  Being signed to a development contract with a then highly respected Nascar team.  The team was sold, that path was changed but I am steadily working towards that same goal.  The IRL has always interested me, since starting in an open wheel background.  Racing and continuing to win races is very important.  Staying sharp behing the wheel, running well in the cars, be it Stock Cars, sprints, midgets, so that I am ready for the next step.

Sponsorship:

My Current Sponsors:
Spike Chassis, Esslinger Engineering, John Christner Trucking, GT Trends, Simpson
How I have obtained and promoted my sponsors past and present:
I have gotten to know many companies and their owners since I started racing. I've always tried to present a plan and let them know exactly what to expect from the sponsorship. I make sure their logos are placed correctly on the cars and my uniforms, and mention their company names in any interview, plus thanking them for the support. Driver card handouts, banners hung when asked, any promotional literature set out so that fans can pick it up. If the sponsor requests anything at all, I do my best to make sure it happens. I think that keeping them updated after races is essential so that they know how I did, by phone calls, email etc.
Why I am a good candidate for sponsorship:
I have proved I can win in any series I have raced in. Starting at 5 years old, karts, road race karts, Mini-sprints, Outlaw Winged Sprint cars, USAC sprints & midgets dirt and pavement, and now Stock cars. Being only 20 years old, I have youth and determination on my side to make my racing career happen on the level that I have always aimed for.
My goals for my sponsors:
Of course if the sponsor is there for a full race series, then the Championship in that particular series is the goal. Starting up front, staying up front, and winning races is the ultimate goal. The sponsor then gets the most coverage and I have the priviledge of talking about them in victory lane! Partial sponsorships would also get the same benefits from winning as many races as possible. The idea is to have as many people that can see the sponsors product and remember it.
