5. What is your favorite track and why? Daytona. I love draft and pack racing. I also have respect for it due to its history. My father and I attend the Daytona 500 every year and to see my hero Dale Earnhardt Jr win the race in person was another great experience in my life.

10. When not sim racing, what other hobby takes up most of your time? I enjoy spending time with family and friends down at the beach. Also as a New Jersey High School Bowling State Champion, bowling is a favorite hobby during the winter. My happy place is at the track however. I enjoy all forms of Motorsports.
