Profile

This is the story of a young man who was born on February 20, 1984.

A child destined for speed.

One who longs for the checkered flag.

Dusty started on a quad at age 2. It was a Christmas present from his dad. From that moment on, his future was on a track.

His first race was at age 4-He finished 2nd.

He switched to motor cross at age 5 and ranked 4th in 4-State Region (Grand National Championship Series-Teeny Mini Class)

Dusty began racing karts at age 8, with the following accomplishments:

Finished in top 10 in 9 out of 12 National Championships

2 cycle Jr. I-National Champion ‘95

4 cycle Jr. I lt.-2nd ‘95

4 cycle Jr. I hvy.-6th ‘95

2 cycle Jr. II hvy.-4th ‘96

2 cycle Jr. II lt.-6th ‘96

4 cycle Jr. II hvy.-2nd ‘96

4 cycle Jr. II lt.-6th ‘97

4 cycle Jr. II hvy.-8th ‘97

‘97 NW Missouri State Champion-31 races on 7 tracks

‘97 Missouri Dirt Series Champion-4 races on 3 tracks

Over 100 feature wins in 6 years of karting!!!

Dusty started racing an IMCA modified in’98 (at age 14-minimum age required is 16), and finished 7th in his first race! He only competed in 10 races that year at Savannah Speedway, but finished 20th out of 48 in season points.

In the first six weeks of ‘99, he finished in the top 3 of every heat race, and had 1 heat win. He finished 10th in season points after falling 3 positions in the standings in the last 3 events due to a blown transmission, a thrown rod, and a broken wrist and hand (broken while holding the car in gear, and still finishing 12th in the 18 car A-Main Feature one-handed).

In the year 2000, at the age of 16, Dusty began driving a winged sprint car in the Outlaw Class. He ran Savannah Speedway on Friday nights. A blown engine made him miss the second half of the season, dropping from 7th to a disappointing 15th in the points standings.
