MISSION STATEMENT
Shortly after I started racing at 9, my mom and dad came up with a ritual we do before every race. When I'm in the car, we do a 3-way fist bump and say out loud. "We win well. We lose well. We communicate. We love each other. We support each other." This has become the guiding principle for my life on and off the track and what I want SBR to be known for everywhere.
