About Finn

Age: 19

Current Division: UK Modifieds

What age did you start racing?

I started at 9 in rental karts.

What was your first class called?

First full-time class was called Junior Stox Karts

How many wins/championships in that class?

30-40 wins and 5 championships

How long did you race that before moving to Runnin’ Rebels?

I raced karts for five years and then we decided to move up. The Rebel was definitely a different experience!

How old were you first year of Rebels?

I was 16 going on 17 when I moved up.

How many wins/championships in that class?

We had over 10 wins. We’re still working on our first championship. It’s tough to win a championship in a class like the Rebels, because contact is so much a part of that type of racing.

Favorite Quote:

I’ll give you three that I like. “Go fast, turn left”, “I am speed.”, “You’ve got to turn right to go left.”

Finn’s goal is to be the first full-time UK-born NASCAR Cup Series racer. He currently competing on both pavement and dirt (tarmac and shale, in UK-speak) in the UK Modified class, a car imported from the dirt ovals of the USA known as “mod lites”.

A young man with a fun-loving personality who enjoys meeting and interacting with racers and fans alike, Finn may be the only one in all of the UK with a “Route 66” sign in his bedroom!

When he is not behind the wheel of his race car, Finn…

-Competes in and helps manage an iRacing league.

-Works full time as a Service Advisor at an automotive dealership.

-Watches as much racing as he can, especially NASCAR and F1.
