Dave began his racing career in 1991 in the 4 cylinder class.  He drove the #33 Ford Pinto owned by his brother Rick.  Dave gained valuable experience his first year & he captured a few heat race victories.  Rick provided Dave with a new race car for the 1992 season, which turned out to be fast right out of the box.  Dave raced to three feature victories in the 1992 season as well as numerous heat race victories.  Dave ended the season 7th in the divisional point standings, and also received the most improved driver award.

In 1993, Dave picked up a ride driving in the late model division, and also changed to the number 2.  The first season was again a learning experience, as the late models are a larger and much more powerful racecar.  While gaining valuable experience in his first season, Dave was named Rookie of the Year for the late model division after finishing 11th in the point standings.  Dave learned through experience and mistakes, and was able to capture his first late model feature victory in the 1994 season when he again finished 11th in points.

Dave purchased his own late model for the 1995 season and returned to the familiar number 33, and debuted a purple paint scheme, which remains one of Dave's favorite race cars to this day.  Unfortunately, a few weeks into the season, Dave suffered a terrible accident when he hit the 4th turn wall head on.  He was removed from the car and taken to the hospital by ambulance, where he checked out OK.  Dave suffered terrible luck for the remainder of the 95 season as he led numerous feature races only to have something break.

Dave ran just a few races at the end of the 1996 season and captured a feature race victory.  In 1997, Dave purchased a former Lou Strohl modified.  He ran a limited schedule with the modified due to financial constraints.  Dave again returned to the late model division for the 1998 season, where he finished 4th in points and captured 3 feature victories, and was also named Most Improved Driver.  The highlight of the 1998 season was his victory in the open competition late model race.  Dave was fast all day as he won his heat, and had built a commanding lead in the feature.  He was slowed by lapped cars, and was passed for the lead, however after several restarts Dave charged back to the lead on the outside and raced to victory.

Dave missed the first 3 weeks of the 1999 season, however started the season off strong before struggling during the middle of the season.  He captured three feature race victories throughout the season, and finished 7th in the divisional point standings.  Dave also placed fourth in the open competition season ending race.  Dave is once again back in the 2000 season for the full racing schedule.  He is looking to have consistent finishes and be near the top of the point standings at season's end.
