Josh started his racing career in the Quarter Midget
ranks and raced several classes for his 5 years at that level. Josh had
86 career "A" main victories and several fast times.

fast enough and changed to 250cc Micro Sprints. In his rookie year, his
first win came along with 17 top 5 finishes and a 7th place points
finish.
2000 was a banner year with 12 feature wins and a 3rd
place points finish.
2001 brought the addition of a 600cc sprint and a 2nd
place points finish.
In 2002, Josh concentrated on the 600cc Micro Sprint.
While racing from Florida to Massachusetts, he added 7 more wins at 4
different tracks. This brings Josh's career total to 112 Feature wins.
