Why they race?
In December of 2006, here was their reply when asked this question:
Matthew's reply: "Racing is intense and exciting. I like to drive at such a young age, meet new friends, learn about engines, win the big trophies, and earn money when I finish well."
Jacob's reply: "I like the money too and because I get to drive. It is fun. Racing is more challenging than any other sport I have done."

On April 5, 2008, Matthew ran his first race in IMCA Hobby Stocks at Minneapolis Raceway. He was interviewed before the race started and the interview aired on the radio. The interview was a lot of fun and lasted over three minutes. One of the questions asked was, "How far in racing did Matthew plan to go?" Without hesitation, Matthew replied, "As far as the checkbook will take us!" He caught his Mom off guard with that one and made us laugh. He delivered a great interview explaining how he got started and moved up the divisions of the sport. When asked about his favorite driver, he explained how his room was red for JR and he would be adding some green and blue soon. He also is a fan of Clint Bowyer and hopes to race against him some day.
