Alex started racing at age 11 (2002) in the
Junior Sportsman class in go karts. Over the
next four years Alex moved up to Junior I &
Junior II classes as he raced go karts at
Forest City Iowa, Blue Earth Minnesota and
other tracks in Iowa and Wisconsin.
In 2005 Alex raced both the go kart and
the Junior Hornet class. That year at age 14
he won the track championship in the Junior
Hornet class at the I-35 Speedway in Mason
City, Iowa.
In 2006 he moved up to a 360 Modified
and had three feature wins!
In 2007 he moved up to the IMCA Modified
division and started the season by
participating in the Texas World Dirt Track
Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway
in March 2007. The year was ended with
Rookie of the Year honors at both the I-35
Speedway in Mason City, Iowa and the
Hancock Co. Speedway in Britt, Iowa.
In 2008 the racing season started in
January by attending the IceBowl at the
Talladega Short Track in Alabama. Alex
finished 2nd in his qualifying heat to earn a
place in the main championship modified
event. He started 7th in the 24 car
championship race and finished 4th. Alex
earned his first IMCA Modified win at the
I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa on
August 3.
In 2009 we headed to Alabama in January
to attend the IceBowl at the Talladega
Short Track. Alex had a great run in his
B Main event to qualify for main event.
In 2010 we raced just a few times but there
was nothing more enjoyable than seeing
Alex back in his racecar ! To see him take
the track as if he just raced the week before
was a touching day. Thank you to all for the
support shown after his accident Oct 2009.
