Greg was the car owner/driver of #37 ProAm and raced primarily at I-80
Speedway. He began racing a Friday Night Flyer at Eagle, Columbus and
Beatrice. After several years of being just a race fan, he started
back up in the ProAm division at I-80, winning the Rookie of the Year
Award in 2002, Cornhusker Classic in 2004 and finishing the 2009 ProAm
Season 8th in points.
