Still taking this all in…
Last weekend at the K1 Speed World Championships was one of those moments as a parent that you never forget.
Race has put in countless hours, stayed disciplined, pushed hard, and dealt with all the pressure, nerves, and expectations… and last weekend, all of that hard work paid off as he became the 2026 Junior K1 Speed World Champion. 🏆
The first photo says everything to me.
You can see through his open helmet visor the tears of joy — real emotion, pure happiness, relief, and pride.
When he got out of the kart, he ran straight to me, hugged me, and we were both crying. That moment meant more than any trophy or check ever could. This was truly a moment of a lifetime for me.
What makes me most proud isn’t just the win — it’s seeing the work ethic, heart, focus, and determination he’s developed along the way at only 11 years old.
We’re also incredibly thankful to have family there to share it with us. Having my aunt and uncle there made the day even more special — and of course my wife Lindsey, who has been there supporting Race every step of the way.
Thank you to everyone who supports Race on this journey, and thank you to the team at K1 Speed and all of its employees for capturing moments we’ll remember forever.
So proud of you, my son Race. ❤️🏁
