I am grateful for your dedication, support and confidence throughout my racing career.  

Lori Winchell has been a part of my racing team since 1989. We were married in 1995 and headed to Speedweek for our honeymoon.  Lori is my biggest supporter.  She has turned wrenches, riveted bodies,  is my spotter and overall caretaker for the crew. Lori has the same desire as I do when it comes to racing.

Art Herrmann and I joined forces in 1996 in the Hooters Sportsmans Class. Art owns and operates Associates Roofing in Hollywood Florida which is my primary sponsor. Art goes to the races to have fun much like everything he does in life! Art is much more than a car owner, he is one of my best friends.
 
Kristal Webster, Crew Chief built and maintains the Late Model owned by Art Herrmann. She has proven she can hang with the boys, with her welding talents, fabrications skills and her overall mechanical ability.
 
Special mention to my friend and  Crew Chief of  over 10 Years - John Carroll aka Jackhammer who relocated to North Carolina and now works for Jack Roush.  He has always been there keeping my cars running and providing emotional support.  His wife Susan has been a loyal supporter, a great friend and a strong shoulder to lean on.   I will be forever grateful for their friendship.  

Bryan Berry worked with me for 2 years on my Super Late Model and Sportsman prior to becoming a Crew Chief in the Craftsman Truck and Nationwide series. Bryan and his family towed my race car all over the state of Florida and the road trip memories are priceless.

Jim McCoy is not only a car owner but he has the ability to push me harder to get the most  out of the car for practice, qualifying and the race.  Jim McCoy and his entire family have taken an interest in my racing, they travel and support me regardless of what class I am racing in.  

Racing is a Team Sport and I attribute my strong runs to my crew. Scott Baker has been racing with me since 1997, he is the muscle of the crew. Eddie Cepeda has been with me since his early Hialeah days, tires are his specialty.  Christie Cepeda has been traveling with Lori and I to tracks around the state of Florida, she is one of my biggest supporters. Fay Cepeda has helped me  over the years in PR. Mike Sosby Jr started helping me in 1994 when I drove his grandfathers car and continues to help to this day. McCoy Race Team (Jim, Jimmy, Nestor, Corey, Phil, Ronnie, Dave and Johnny) travel to all events.  John and Alicia Gargiulo, Tom Dailey thank you for your continued support, friendship and the fun racing.

There have been many people over the years that have devoted time to my racing:  Doug Shockley, Rodney Shockley, Herbie Silvious, Gerald Silvious, Vance Bell , Mike Ciochetti, John Buchanan, JJ Santiago,Billy Barham, Bill Holzenhauer, Jeff Underwood, Bob Beauchemin and Bobby Beauchemin.

Special Thanks to George and Joyce (Mom) Sweeting for the All Pro Days.   Also, Dave Kight and his wife Win,  (#1 Fans) who travelled all over the state to watch me race.
  
The future lies in the hands of our youth.  A special driver in my life is Justin Carroll.  He is the son of John and Susan.   Please check out Justin's Corner.  He has 10 race wins this year and is only 13 years old.  It won't be long before he is sitting in my ride.
