He is also a rookie in the modified midget sprint restrictor class at U.S. 24 Speedway in Logansport and also at Camden Raceway. He has steered his bright red No. 4N car to victory in five feature races already this year. His father started racing sprint cars at age 21 and became a household name at the Warsaw Speedway before making it big on the national scene, winning more than 100 feature races in the 1980s and early 1990s. "I watched my Dad race and looked at pictures of him." Neil asked his father if he could race at age 7.
