| Introduction Hello to all. This page is designed to keep you up to speed from my point of view being the dad. I have raced since 1975 starting in go-karts all the way to the ARCA Series as well as the Nascar Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. Honestly since Chad was 9 and wanted to race I, have been supporting his efforts and have no burning desire to drive any more. Chad started off racing go karts and found immediate success winning national and regional events in the World Karting Series. Chad was a development for Team Rensi Motorsports then, but they requested that we move up to cars if we wanted continued support from them. We where leading 3 of the 4 classes at the time and winning everything. We where headed for a Triple Crown Championship in WKA but had to leave in the mix of it all to go join the ASA late model series. Chad was just 14 when we purchased a Howe Racing Enterprise's Ford for him. I learned right off the bat that the sport had changed, as well as the technology and I found myself in trouble. Chad did a great job wheeling what he had to drive. I got some buddies out of retirement and still could not get us going in the right direction. In 2008 I hired Bob Cumbow as the crew chief and we had some real good runs, and then we just could not get the cars right out of the shop. I had way too many things going on at our family buisness that kept me from the shop so Bob decided to leave, and I found myself right back were I started. Wayne Setterington who used to work for me, and left to go work for a ARCA team that I drove for, started trying to help me via phone and we got better. During our talks we decided to go ARCA racing with Brad Keslowski's car and my motor. So my Mom and Dad decided they would run Chad full time in their outlaw cars and help on the ARCA program. So here we are fresh off a 6th place run at Toledo, OH in the ARCA race as well as 1 feature win in the outlaw car, and a 2nd place with the best in the buisness in the outlaw car at Angola IN.
