“I am from Martinsville Va. I’m 18 years old and I just graduated high school! I am planning on going to college with a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Motorsports Tech.” When I asked Josh how he got started in racing, his answer wasn’t one of the usual ones, “I got started in racing by helping a friend of my mom’s on a local LMSC team. By doing that, I was able to learn the basics of circle track racing.”
Now for the interview…
How long have you been racing?
“I have been in racing for 10 years, but I have only been a driver for 5.”
Did anything specific inspire you to start racing?
“Nothing really at all; just a deep passion for the sport! I love the atmosphere that racing has to offer.”
What series do you currently race in?
“I currently run in the Pro-4 or Mod-4 division with hopes to move into a LMSC soon.”
What do you enjoy most about racing?
“Just the atmosphere and the adrenaline that racing has! It’s a getaway to get in your car and get out on the track. Not to mention the speed is a big part of it too!”

What’s the hardest part of racing for you?
“The hardest part is funding. It’s so hard to come by, and unlike a lot of other up and coming drivers, I don’t have parents to give me money anytime I need it. I have to go out and get it my own.”
Would you like to move up to Cup/Truck/Nationwide?
“That’s the plan! I’d love to, but it’s going to be really hard and it’s going to take a lot of work. But I believe if you’re truly dedicated to something, failure is impossible.”

Do you try to model your career after any of the current drivers?
“Not at all! I do my own thing because I believe my background is so unique that it should be in NASCAR.”
I know you’re on Twitter; how do you feel social media helped you get where you are today, if at all?
“It has boosted my fan base by 1000% for sure. It has done a lot of good for me. Showing my sponsors that I care about my marketing excites them, and it gives me a better chance at acquiring new sponsors.”

Do you feel Twitter is a good way to build a fan base?
“I do 100%! It’s a great way to start on your fan base and carry it with your career.”
