Profile:

I’m married w/3 sons and live in Northwest New Jersey. I’ve been a Plumber for 23 years.
People tell me all the time that I look like Dale Jr…. I tell them I don’t have his money or his car. I’ve collected Budweiser stuff since I was 15.
My all time favorite is Richard Petty. I was about 10 or 11 when his car came to our town @ the local Shop-Rite and they handed out STP stickers. I wasn’t a hardcore Nascar fan until Dales Sr.’s death. I couldn’t believe he was gone. It was pretty much a no brainer to go w/ Dale Jr. since he’s the son of Dale Sr., I collected Budweiser, and they say I look like him. We have 3 Dale Jr. fans, a Tony Stewart and a Kasey Kahne fan in our family. My basement bar is loaded w/Bud, Dale Jr. & Nascar stuff.
Martinsville is my favorite track. We camp every spring race from Thursday to Monday. Whatta weekend!!!!

Other interests:

Go Karting w/ the family when we get the time.
