Hey all! Thanks for checking out my blog. I'll be posting a new blog every once in awhile until the racing season starts, then I'll be posting daily. This first post will be an introduction to me.
I've been a huge car person all of my life. When I was little, rarely would you find me without a Hot Wheels car in my hands. As I grew up, I started to get into NASCAR. I never really became obsessed with the sport, but I would usually watch the races. At age 9, I caught the NITRO bug. At the time, my uncle was a truck driver for Werner Enterprises and Clay Millican was sponsored by Werner. My uncle would always send me Clay Millican t-shirts and diecasts, knowing I was a car fan. This really sparked my interest in the greatest sport on Earth, drag racing. The rest, as they say, is history.
As I grew older and my interest in the sport increased, I started going to more races and following the action closer. Fast-forward to spring of 2010. After being told by many drivers that the best way to get into the sport is to help a local team, I decided to contact a Division 3 Top Alcohol Dragster team, the AB Construction team, led by driver Brandon Booher. I offered to help them at a local divisional and they accepted my offer. That weekend, I got to learn so much about drag racing; the cars, the track, the drivers. Later on down the road, my dad and myself started to get more involved with the team, doing more at the track and traveling to out of state races. The highlight of 2010, for me, was getting to go to the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, the most legendary drag race in the world.
The things I have learned and the experiences I have had with the team have been invaluable. I am now doing public relations for them, where I get to write about drag racing, two of my passions. I have also been doing PR for a couple other Top Alcohol teams, as well as sponsorship assistance for a local Jr Dragster team. That's a brief history of me, hope you enjoyed it.
Throughout the season, I'll be filling this blog with some of my experiences with some of the teams that I mentioned in this blog. I'll also keep everyone updated on some of my projects, including Nitro Cribs, a YouTube video series that I'm running.
Thanks for reading, now I'm off to catch a new episode of America's Next Great Restaurant!
