Justin on the gas at Williams Grove Speedway
I started racing at the age of nine, after my father ended his career as a successful modified driver.
Who had the biggest impact on your racing career and why?
My father.. Simply because he enables me to be able to work towards my goal to become a professional racecar driver, and he is there behind me every step of the way!
What would you be doing if you weren't racing?
I would be involved in something that involves my hands... possibly construction
What is your favorite aspect of racing?
The accomplishment of victory
What is your greatest accomplishment/best memory?
My first win in a sprint car at the age of 16.
What is the worst thing that has happened to you in racing, or your worst season?
Getting involved with a dishonest engine builder in Danville Indianapolis that set me back a whole year!!!
In your own words, describe your 2006 season:
All in all we had a pretty good year.. I think we were a threat to win almost everywhere we went.. and just to be in that situation is what you work for each and everynight. We had 5 wins and it should of been a lot more than that.. We were leading some of the biggest races of the year, and if it wasnt for misfortune.. we would of had a really good year....!
What are your plans for the 2007 season?
To run as many pavement races as we can... then fill in with the dirt sprint car whenever possible.
Where do you see Sprint Car racing five years from now?
Hopefully, there will be some more cost effective ways to control the price of engines and tires.. Most likely more spec engine classes will be in place..
What is your ultimate goal?
To be a Nascar driver and own sprint car teams
Anything else you would like to add?
Just that I am very happy with the life that I live and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
