HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN RACING: After go-karting for 6 years, my grandpa Willy Peterson retired from racing a Street Stock after 23 years at Lake Geneva Raceway. He heard the track was closing so he asked Kevin Dawson if he could put me in the car and Kevin said "YES".

MOST MEMORABLE RACING EXPERIENCE: Winning the Milwaukee Mile on my Go-Kart in 2005 at age 13.

HOBBIES: Racing

I would like to earn a living in racing. Experience is what is needed at this time.
