Videos

These are my favorites of my own race videos.

• Formula Renault 2.0 at the Nürburgring Grand Prix on February 7. 2022 - Full Race (~28 mins), Shortened Version (~15 mins): I won this race! This was my first win ever in a top-split Formula Renault 2.0 race. Starting from second place on the front row, I took the lead in turn 1 and led the entire race. Most of the race is uneventful, but we encountered a bunch of lapped traffic on laps 9 and 10 that made things interesting for awhile.

• Formula Renault 2.0 at Barcelona on December 13, 2021 (2022 S1) (~28 mins): I started 3rd and after a hairy start got up to 2nd place by the end of the first lap, and that's where I finished, staying about 1.6-2.1 seconds behind the leader for the entire race. My brother Tim finished 3rd.

• Formula Renault 2.0 at Lime Rock (2021 S4) (~26 mins): I was close behind the 2 car and not far ahead of the 4 car throughout this entire race, but none of us ever made a big mistake and we finished in that order, never passing one another at all. We had some close calls with lapped traffic, but survived them.

• Formula Renault 2.0 at Long Beach on 2021-08-09 (2021 S3) (~22 mins): This may be my best Formula Renault 2.0 race ever. I started 2nd and finished 3rd, and the driver who finished ahead of me was the top-ranked driver in the race and has consistently been one of the best in the series this season. For the first time in a "top split" race, I set the fast lap of the race, on lap 5, a 1:18.8, from 05:45 to 07:04 in the video (the next best lap was the race winner, who ran a 1:19.0 near the end). I never made a competitive pass in this race -- I was in 4th for a lot of the race until the 3rd place driver spun and got car damage. Only 3 of us finished on the lead lap, and quite a bit of traffic re-enters the race from the pits and I have to work my way by a few cars.

• Formula Renault 2.0 at Spa on 2021-07-21 (2021 S3) (~29 mins): This was a fun race in which I made two passes for position, one going into Les Combes at the end of the long front straight, and the other in a battle for position throughout the final lap of the race.

• ARCA at Kansas Speedway (2021 S4) (~20 mins): I did very well on this fast track with a lot of banking. I've learned to save tires at these tracks so that I can be part of the battle at the end of the race. I fell back from the leaders a lot through the first 10 laps as I conserved my front tires, but then I began to reel them back in. This is a fun race to watch if you like oval or stock car racing.

• ARCA at Charlotte on 2021-08-10 (2021 S3) (~21 mins): This was a fun race and I did well, starting 3rd and finishing 2nd. I led several laps in the middle of the race, until I slowed to safely get by a car that had spun ahead of me, and got passed by several cars after I lost momentum. (It takes a long time to get back up to speed if you slow down just a little on these fast tracks.) A few laps before the end, it looked like I might be able to catch the leader, but after getting pretty close once at the start of lap 32 (about 18:10 in the video), I never made a credible run at the lead again. For the last 4 laps of the race, I ran an inside line all the way around the track to defend against the 3rd place car right behind me -- if that car wanted to pass me, I wanted to force it to go around the outside.

• ARCA at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on 2021-07-16 (2021 S3) (~21 mins): I was in a group of about 6 cars toward the back of the field that had some nice racing among ourselves. At the end of lap 16 and start of lap 17, I made the best move of my ARCA career up to now, passing 2 cars on the front straight by getting between them and beating them to turn 1.

• ARCA at Chicagoland on 2021-06-21 (2021 S3) (~20 mins): This was a fun race, I was in a close battle (that ended up being a fight for 3rd place) with the number 6 Gatorade car throughout the entire race.

• Indy Pro at Detroit (2021 S4) (~31 mins): This was a fantastic race for me, I had fun in this one, starting 6th as the 8th-ranked car and finishing 3rd. Detroit is a challenging, rough (bumpy) street course, where small mistakes usually run you into a concrete wall and damage your car enough that your race is over. In fact, only 5 of the 21 cars in the field for this race completed all 21 laps -- 6 cars ahead of me had incidents that forced them to leave the race and go for repairs, and for most of the second half of the race I was running in 2nd place. I finished 3rd when the car right behind me got a nice run off turn 2 on the final lap and drew even with me down the long straight heading into turn 3. But all in all, this was a great race for me.

• Indy Pro at the Nürburgring Nordschleife (2021 S2): I started on the pole and led the field through the first few turns before the two fast drivers behind me went by and ran away from me. I finished 3rd, with an average lap time of 6:49, which is not very good, but at least below the "7 minute barrier".
