I’VE GOT THE CAR. I’VE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY. NOW I JUST NEED TO GET TO THE STARTING LINE.
Help Me Go Racing in the Toyota GR Cup Series at Barber Motorsports Park
There are some dreams you talk about.
There are some dreams you work toward.
And then there are the dreams you refuse to give up on.
For years, I've been chasing the opportunity to compete in the Toyota GR Cup Series. I've spent countless hours, dollars and weekends working toward this goal, always wondering if I'd ever actually get the chance to sit on the grid.
That chance is finally here.
On September 25–27, 2026, I'll have the opportunity to compete in the GR Cup Legends class at Barber Motorsports Park during a Toyota GR Cup race weekend.
The car is ready. The opportunity is real. The license has been granted and I'm ready to race.
There's just one final hurdle:
Getting to Barber and making it through the weekend.
THIS IS THE FINAL PUSH
I have already taken on the biggest parts of making this dream happen.
Now I'm asking for help with the costs that come with actually putting the car on the track. This campaign will help cover:
⛽ Fuel
Tires
Lodging
Meals
Race-weekend expenses
Transportation
Unexpected racing costs
Anyone who has spent time around motorsports knows that the expenses don't stop when the car arrives at the track.
There is always another tire.
Another tank of fuel.
Another part.
Another unexpected expense.
That's what this fundraiser is about—getting me through the weekend and onto the starting grid.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO BUY ME A RACE CAR.
I'm asking you to help me race the one I already have.
That's what makes this opportunity so special. After years of chasing this goal, I am finally at the point where the dream isn't something I'm talking about doing someday.
It's happening.
The only question is whether I can put all of the pieces together to make it to Barber and compete.
And that's where you can help.
BE PART OF THE JOURNEY
Maybe you've known me for years.
Maybe we've raced together.
Maybe you've watched me work around racetracks.
Maybe you're a car enthusiast who simply loves racing.
Or maybe you just know what it's like to have a dream that you're not willing to let go of.
This is my chance.
A contribution of $25, $50 or $100 might not seem like much in the world of motorsports.
But when a group of people comes together, those small contributions become something much bigger. They become tires. They become fuel. They become a hotel room. They become the ability to stay another day at the track. And ultimately...
They become laps around Barber Motorsports Park.
EVERY DOLLAR GETS ME CLOSER
$25 → Helps with meals and travel expenses
$50 → Helps put fuel in the car
$100 → Helps toward tires and consumables
$250 → Makes a significant dent in race-weekend expenses
$500+ → Helps make a major portion of the weekend possible
And if you aren't able to donate, PLEASE SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN.
Seriously.
A share could reach someone who has the ability to help make this happen.
I'LL TAKE YOU ALONG FOR THE RIDE
I don't want this fundraiser to end when the money is raised.
I'll be sharing the journey leading up to Barber, the preparation, the trip to Alabama, the race weekend and—hopefully—the experience of taking the green flag.
If you help me get there, you'll be part of the story.
When that engine fires.
When I pull onto the grid.
When the green flag drops.
I'll know that there are people back home who helped make those laps possible.
THE GOAL = $12,000
September 25–27, 2026
Barber Motorsports Park
Birmingham, Alabama
Toyota GR Cup Weekend
GR Cup Legends Class
My goal is simple:
Get to Barber.
Get on the grid.
Put my foot down.
And go racing.
I've spent years working toward this moment.
Now I'm asking for your help to make sure I don't come up short when the finish line is finally within reach.
If you've ever had a dream worth chasing, you know exactly why I'm doing this.
Help me get to Barber. Help me get to the starting line. And come along for the ride.
LET'S GO RACING!
Thank you. Truly.
