About Chad: My racing career started as a young child going to the races at Platte Valley Speedway in Lexington, Neb. I grew up watching racers such as Denny Egge, Kenny McCarty, Wendell Stevens and Don Vonderfecht.
Knowing that I always wanted to race I got the opportunity when I was 14 to start packing the track in my brother Mark's Sportsman car. When I was 15 I started hot lapping every week, and when I turned 16 Mark and I alternated nights driving the Sportsman Car #87.
My first heat race win included the all-stars of that time: Denny Egge, Terry McCarty, Doug Stange and Jerry Hackler.
My mom and dad have had so much influence on my racing career to them I owe more than I can express. I have driven racecars in Nevada, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Arkansas. I drove for Stan and Mike Nichols of Harlan, Iowa, at the Southern Challenge in Abilene, Texas, and they taught me a lot about racing at big shows.
I feel very fortunate to have raced with some of the best in the business, including David Murray Jr., Johnny Saathoff, Ronnie Wallace, Jon Thompson, Kenny McCarty and many others on a weekly basis.
I want to thank the following people for all of the help that I have had learning the racing business and without them we would not have had the success we have had: Jay Neal and staff at BSB Manufacturing, Stan and Mike Nichols, my ENTIRE FAMILY for supporting me, Denny Egge, Kevin Shaw, Wayne Brooks, Scott Sueferer and many others.
And thank you to the grace of God for allowing me to be surrounded by the best people in the business! |
