If you were to ask Michael what got him into racing, he couldn't tell you because its been his whole life for as long as he can remember. Not coming from wealth or a racing family like most other racers, he's had to get by through his own hard work and dedication. He started racing karts at age 15 before moving into midgets at age 20 and still currently races for Laverne Spencer in the Illini Midget Series as well as for BLaster Motorsports in dirt late models and CRA Street Stocks. He's also worked for several ARCA, Truck Series, and USAC teams to build his racing resume and holds a degree in Sports Marketing and Management from the University of Northwestern Ohio. In 2023, he will be making the next big step in his career and moving up to the ARCA Menards Series in select events throughout the season. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, his goal is also too help spread the message of inclusion and diversity in the sport.
