Considered one of the highest forms of short track racing in this country, the Porter’s Lake driver began his career in 2006 at Scotia Speedworld in the Hydraulics Plus Bandolero division and would go on to win the track championship in 2010. Many of the alumni of the class have gone on to run in Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour races, including series Rookie of the Year winners DJ Casey (Prospect Road) and Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro).
