What. A. Day.
The West Motorsports #12 kart didn’t just show up today—it came to fight. From the moment we rolled onto the track, you could feel it. Practice was strong, but after my crew dialed in a few chassis adjustments, the kart transformed into something fierce.

Heat race time. I launched from P3, the kart felt electric, and even though a rough start cost me, I clawed my way back to finish P3. The stage was set.

Then came the feature.
The sun was blazing, the track was cooking, and every driver knew this one was going to be a war. I started P3, locked in, and the moment the green dropped, the #12 came alive. I surged to P1, carving through the heat and the pressure like it was nothing.

Thirteen laps in, the P2 kart made a move—clean, fast, bold—and slipped past me. But I wasn’t done. Not today. I regrouped, hunted him down, and with five laps to go, I took back P1 and refused to let it go. Every corner, every straightaway, every heartbeat was a battle, but the #12 kart held strong all the way to the checkered flag.

Victory. Earned.
And none of it happens without my family, my crew, and my sponsors. Their support, their sweat, their belief—that’s what makes days like this possible.

Race fans — what a season opener on Mother's Day... came out flying, grabbed the lead, and were looking strong until the motor started overheating in the heat race. Even with that, the crew said “send it,” so that’s exactly what I did in the feature.

By lap 8 the motor started giving up and I began losing some power, but I fought it to the end and still brought home a 5th‑place finish. Tons of great racing all day, and we’re already wrenching so we can come back even stronger next weekend.

Big shoutout to my family, friends, crew, and sponsors — couldn’t do this without you.

Another race in the books, and with it, another season wrapped up. The kart had good speed today, but not quite enough to take the win—bringing home a solid 2nd place finish. That result also locked me into 2nd place in the season points standings.

It’s been a challenging but rewarding year on track, filled with ups and downs, but overall an experience I truly enjoyed. None of it would have been possible without the incredible support of my family, crew, sponsors, and all the fans who’ve been behind me every step of the way.

I’ll be taking a short break to recharge, but soon it’ll be time to start preparing and building for next season. The work never stops, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
