I went through the Jimmy Sills school of racing thanks to the help of Dave, Bruce and Wendy Thurston along with Jim Wellington. They pitched in and sent me to the school. Jimmy and Rod Fauver were great, and I learned a ton from participating in the school. The on track advice was great, but I learned a lot more in the classroom going through car set up and tuning. After the class, and after some conversation with Jimmy, I ended up with a job for the summer working for Jimmy Sills. What a great opportunity to learn from one of the best Sprint Car and Midget drivers around, and I'm doing what I love to do. Drive race cars, work on race cars, and learn everything I can about racing. Anyone coming up, and getting involved in Sprint Car or Midget racing would sure be doing themselves a huge favor to go to this school. Especially if you are having to wrench your own car. It would have taken me countless trips to the track to learn what I did from Jimmy and Rod in one day. I'm really looking forward to getting onto the dirt this summer in the TNT Racesports car #17. What I'm learning from Jimmy will surely help my pursuit of the BCRA title.

Jimmy Sills (National Sprint Car Hall of Fame)..
“This kid is one hundred percent racer. Like I remember when I was starting, all he thinks about is racing. He calls me before and after his races to talk about setup and what the track conditions did. He has a quality unusual in young racers, he drives real hard when he needs to and when his car isn't right, he figures out how he can drive it out of a condition and what changes the chassis needs. Being a smart racer is why he won the championship his first year in a midget He is also a very hard worker. He drives two hours to help me at the school so he can be around to learn from Rod Fauver and myself, then drives home to Jackson gets up and keeps a very high GPA in school. He has been around for his years. Justin knows about ninety percent of the kids that show up for my schools because he's raced against them somewhere, and you can see they all have respect for his opinion.”
