Become a winner in Autoweek Driver Award — it is a huge honor for me, especially considering that it involves representatives from all motorsport disciplines. Drag racing is often undervalued in comparison with the same NASCAR, so this award is doubly valuable for all of us. Thank you, Richard Freeman (team owner) and all the guys from Elite Motorsports. I work with the best, most appropriate and the most experienced people in our sport, and it is thanks to them that this achievement has become a reality. I am eternally grateful to them for what they put me on a mission to defend the honor of the team, and in the future we will continue to live our common dream...
