Tell us how
you got interested in racing:
I got interested in
racing very young.My
Family always loved racing and I got to go watch at
Twin Cities pretty often. My dad raced street stocks
before I was born. He got me into go-karts in thelate
'90's and it went on from there.

Which one
of your races stands out the most in
your mind and why:
The race that stands
out in my mind the most would
have to be my win at Bloomington Speedway. I have
always loved Bloomington since the first time I raced
there and have been trying to pick up a win there for
two years now. It made me feel really good knowing
we got the first one out of the way.

We all know
it takes more than one person to be
successful in racing, who do you feel contributes
to your career sucess?
I have to people to
thank more than anyone else, my
dad Rob Perry and uncle Joe Giddens. My dad does
everything it takes to getus doing good and Joe is
always there working as hard as it takes. I wouldn't be
able to be as successful as what we have been without
them.
