The thrill of racing for Thomas is the win and the speed!  His most exciting racing moment was his first win and having his family there.  He's most proud of his family.  They have always been at the track with me every Saturday.  His wife and children, it's been a family sport from the beginning.  He couldn't have done it if they weren't there with him.  He remembers when the kids were really little and being there in their car seats in the stands.

Thomas's racing hero is the Good Lord.  He's kept Thomas safe and out of trouble from the start.  Thomas gives Him credit for everything that he has accomplished.

Of racing, Thomas says, 'That it's a fun sport.  It's exciting to race and watch.  But without the Good Lord and your family in your life, it would be nothing.  They are always first in my life and racing comes second!".
