About Daniel

Watching my father and uncle Paul race at Lee USA Speedway in the early 2000's my heart was set on competing one day. From assisting on my uncles street stock at Lee on friday nights since I was 11 I loved to be at the races. 2019 I got to try my first enduro race at Hudson International in the bunny brawl. Finished my first race with a Top 5 finish and I knew I needed more! I got to run my first season in a street stock at Lee in 2021 with an overall points finish of 9th. It was a very good summer of learning for me and some new crew help of two of my closest friends. Our past season we ran all races at Hudson International and it was another year of learning and gaining a lot more confidence. After securing my first heat win I knew I had the setup and team to get it done. We won 2 heat races, 1 top 5 finish and a few top 10 finishes in the 2022 season.

  • 02/22/2024 After spinal surgery for a broken neck , I am ready to recover and get back in the car to get my first feature win and many more to come.
