Today at the NASCAR Research & Development facility in Concord, NC it was made official when NASCAR introduced the 2009 Drive for Diversity Drivers. I was chosen by the Total Velocity Motorsports Team from Monroe, Washington and will begin my asphalt racing career at the end of March. I will pack my bags next week and venture out to Washington where I will be living in an apartment and working at the shop learning everything I can about the late model. I will be racing in 18-21 races at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA and on the off days I will try to race in as many dirt races with my sprint car as possible. This is thus far the biggest accomplishment for me in my career. I am looking forward to this season and making the transition from dirt to asphalt. My goals for the season are Rookie of the Year and a top 10 finish in the points. In the future I hope to continue pursuing my dream of one day racing at the Sprint Cup level! This season is going to be a challenge and I am ready for anything that comes my way!

CONGRATS!!! I wish you the best of luck on your NASCAR endeavors. Does this mean that your favorite fans are going to have to travel to Washington state to see you run on dirt and/or asphalt?

Natalie, I congratulate you, The term that blacktop only gets you to and from the track ya maybe but look around you at the "guys" who made the transition, I see you drafting Smoke in no time at all. Keep setting goals higher almost what you think are out of reach and then you will say Hey I did that.. COOL... NEXT!
Congratulations.... It will be fun to follow the progress. You'll do great! Just be sure to enjoy it.
