About:                     

Married my grade school sweetheart and have a wonderful little girl who is 7 years old.  Played mostly stick and ball sports growing up and went to college on a football scholarship.  Started racing cars after college and was hooked.  Raced for 12 years and was involved in a crash that broke my neck and back in 4 places.  After a year of rehab, I starting building cars and put a deal together with Richard Childress to build the baddest 1969 Camaro on the planet to celebrate his 40 years in racing and his best friend Dale Earnhardt Sr.  Our motto in the shop is if it worth doing, its worth doing right and if was easy, everybody would be doing it.  I don't build cars to make money, I do it because it is my passion, and to be able to create something with my hands is very satisfying and  powerful stuff.



Mission Statement:

DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!



About My Team:

2 Hard working, hard driving friends that enjoy building, driving, and fixing badass cars.

By Maiky, 03/21/09 - 7:30                 
 
You guys did a hell of a job keeping that big block monster under control. Dont believe I could have had held back as you did. Although your Wade did zing that motor pretty good on the return.

Hated to see you guys go home. The Camaro did not get as much screen time as it deserved.
Best of luck.
