1996 -2002:
Started racing at the age of 4 at Blackbird Speedway in New Castle, Delaware.
Matt’s parents and others help start a new Quarter Midget Race track in Atco, NJ called Sandstone Speedway.
Matt has won the track champion for every division he was in each year. From Novice to Senior Stock.
He was only at a few States and National Championships for Quarter Midgets due to time restraints on family business and other racing with Dirt Modifieds that the family was involved in.
Here are some pictures of Matt in his early years to current!
