David started by helping a friend at the dirt track races in 1975. Over that period of time he has helped or owned various types of race cars from wing modifieds, limited modifieds, sprint cars, ARCA cars, NASCAR late models, and the NASCAR Craftsman truck series. When Mike Herring started with the inaugural Sprint Series of Texas, David reunited with Mike and later with Bud Hanna. He has more fun with this series and Mike's crew than all of his other racing endeavors.
