Season Recap

🏁 2025 Season Recap 🏁

My second full season competing in the FSCRA Super 4 has concluded. While there were both achievements and setbacks, securing second place in the points standings during only my second full season after a twenty-year hiatus is a result I am proud of. Nonetheless, I recognize that certain driver errors impacted some race outcomes. The season featured one Trophy Dash victory, four Heat Race wins, and several runners-up finishes in Main Events, contributing to an overall successful year.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to my family for their unwavering support, especially my daughter Ava who ventured in the pits this season.

My ongoing success is also due in no small part to the continued encouragement, guidance, and advice from Joe Bowers, Mike, Scott, Joe Beaudoin, and Chuck LaHorgue; it is truly an honor to have such dedicated friends and mentors. Special thanks are also owed to Nick Durfey and Trevor Moss for their valuable help in the pits this year.

The support of my generous sponsors is essential to my ability to compete, and I am grateful for their commitment.

Race Recap

FSCRA Race #7 | September 20th, 2025

Season Finale

The past few weeks were all about rebounding from that DNF, and I can’t thank Scott Beaudoin enough—without his help, I wouldn’t have even made it to this race.

✅ First practice shake-down went smooth, last race issues seemed sorted out.

✅ Qualified P2—pretty much the theme of this season.

✅ Heat race, P2 again. Got caught napping on the start and spent too long working traffic.

For the Main Event, I had a great shot starting outside pole. Jumped out front early and tried to break away but just couldn’t find the rhythm. The car didn’t feel quite where I wanted it, but after watching the in-car… I’m thinking the driver might’ve been a little off too.

Brought it home in—you guessed it—P2. One of the most frustrating seconds I’ve ever had, because I know I left more out there. That just means more fuel for next season. Both the car and the driver have more speed to unlock.

Congrats to Tommy Laxson on a strong championship season—I like to think I made him earn it.

Big thanks to Joe Bowers, Scott & Mike Beaudoin, and Chuck LaHorgue for keeping me competitive. Couldn’t do it without them. And of course, to Trevor, Ava, and Nick for jumping in and helping in the pits this year.

And none of this happens without my sponsors—truly grateful for your support.

Race Recap

FSCRA Race #6 | What Could Have Been…

Coming off a strong Race #5, I had high hopes for this weekend—and things started out on the right foot. With Chuck LaHorgue stepping in as Crew Chief and spotter, it felt like school was officially in session.

The car was solid right out of the gate in open practice, giving Chuck a good baseline to work with. After some debriefing, we made a couple small tweaks for Practice #2 that instantly showed results. Another adjustment later, and the car really came alive. Qualifying landed us a solid P3.

Heat Race: Started inside row 3 (pretty much my new normal), but this time I threaded through traffic quickly—took the lead on lap 3 and held it for the win with the 24 and 72 close behind.

35-Lap Main: Confidence was high. The car felt great in the 8-lap heat, and we were ready to see what it could do over 35. Started inside row 3 again, and the opening laps looked promising—nearly a replay of the heat race. But just as I went to make a move on the 00 for the lead, the transmission (which had been fighting me all day) had other plans. It locked up the rear tires, sent me spinning to the infield, and refused to go back into gear. Despite our best efforts in the pits, it just wasn’t meant to be. First DNF of the season—but not a loss. A lesson.

Next up: Cruise’n with the Cops car show this Sunday in Gresham, OR—a great chance to showcase the car and thank my Primary Sponsors right near their Troutdale headquarters.

Huge thanks to Chuck for his knowledge and effort this weekend—I know he was just as disappointed in the outcome. Big shoutout to Jaime for lending a hand in the pits, and as always, thanks to Joe, Scott, and Mike for their unwavering support every week, race day or not.
