Life this year

Some INSANE 100+MPH onboard with @mattnykanenrally at @100awrally . Currently leading 2WD by over two minutes, 15th overall going into day two. Let’s get it today!

Somewhere in Dale, Texas…… 2nd overall on the weekend, 1st in class, thanks @dannyaitkenmotorsport for having me, excellent drive by @rally.kj & @kennedyh417 . Big thanks to @rallyready for hosting these things, it’s such a fun time! Photo 📸 credit goes to : @mikecartierphoto @jake__daugherty

Traction control is a men's size 11 shoe in this car The only options are be comfortable being sideways, or be slow. In this case, it may be both 😂 #bmw #e36 #ara_rally

If you can’t tell from this photo, we are extraordinarily tired. 4th overall! 1st in class by 19 minutes and highest finishing 2wd car @snodriftrally ! Some of our competitors really had some quite unfortunate situations as well pretty gutted for them but that’s racing. Couldn’t have gone much better for our first rally together, big thanks to everybody that helped us. Massive thanks to our crew guys @sam_schmitcke and @silashep . And our support team @anikkanykanen @jnnyks . Congrats @alastair.scully on your overall podium as well as @map.rally on your overall. See you at @100awrally !

Just a collection of same of my favorite photos I’ve taken or had taken of me this year. As usual this year was so fast, dozens and dozens and dozens of flights flown, tens of thousands of miles driven, so many different trains & buses taken, thousands of miles walked, 2554.61 to be exact, 5 countries, 32 states, & hundreds of good memories made to show for it, it all went by too fast. So happy with how this year with everything I have achieved this year. Thanks to all my super supportive friends, I appreciate all of you more than you probably realize :) Just some more memorable moments that really made my year: -Going to visit my friends @ohlson.625 & @hannah.hopkins_ in Colorado and skiing for 3ish weeks with @jon_stewart10 in tow for part of it. -Being able to greatly improve my Co-driving skill in large part due to @rhianongelsomino & @alexgelsomino , & just a large number of people willing to take chances on me, I appreciate you all! -Winning the @43institute KB Flat Out 43VER award with @cj_speed15 at Southern Ohio Forest Rally. -Attending the Baja 1000, life changing experience, it really is the ultimate battle of man and machine. -Going to Ireland to Codrive in Killarney Historic Rally with @mulhallnick although some unfortunate really quite unfortunate engine issues lead to our demise. -Winning the overall at a rally with @mst3rling . -Codriving for @roncar in his Classic Group N+ Style Evo 6 -My super cool aunt @stacyparkhouse letting me stay at her house way too much. -All racing friends for letting me crash with them while volunteering @morrisrally , @jimmy.pelizzari , @jack_gross141 . Thanks to all my friends that play part time photographer : @ohlson.625 @walker.holden_ @oliverross111 @districtofcountersteer @jon_stewart10 I have some exciting stuff planned for next year, looking foward to rallying in a lot of cool places & winning a national championship with @mattnykanenrally . As usual the grind/fun never stops, I fly to Minnesota in 2 days for some codriving stuff, followed by 3 weeks of skiing in Colorado and Vermont, and the 4 races in 5 weeks. Thanks to everybody that made this year great!

Does life get much better? Pulled double duty this weekend and codrove for @mst3rling & @roncar , mostly a battle of attrition this weekend, but @mst3rling and I had some good battles this weekend and won the overall, with @mikablock82 & @rally.kj in 2nd followed by @forbiddenevo . Big thanks to Matt & Ron for having me. Super fun time with @roncar and was leading the overall until the evo evo’ed a little too hard and broke the transfer case. Big props to @rally.kj and all the volunteers for all the work you guys put into these things!

Awesome to have @mattnykanenrally and @william_ross__ back at @ozrallypro training, but this time with a new focus. These guys will be teaming up for the 2026 @ara_rally National season and it was great to work with them here in Idaho to help build their partnership from the ground up. We saw fantastic progress throughout the training and can’t wait to follow their journey in 2026! 📸@mikeyleppsphoto

The lion does not concern himself with school work on a race week Another week of some of my favorite times with my favorite people. Some last second changes meant my ride for @lakesuperiorperformancerally fell through however I was still pretty keen on going so I just went for the weekend. Helped with test days and both race days, worked 8 time controls, helped setup Parc expose and deal with several minor crises & general race day tomfoolery. As usual thanks to everyone that made this event great and I’ll see most of you next year.

Relatively caught up on sleep finally and thinking back on @southernohioforestrally last weekend, it certainly had its moments of uncertainty and stress but also some pretty fun ones too. Super happy getting the an award the from the @43institute it was well deserved by @cj_speed15 in my opinion. Finished 3rd in limited 2 out of 9 which was pretty nice as well. Pretty certain we made the final cut on @dirtfishrally as well. Thanks for having me Colin, Vince and the entire crew. I’ll catch most of y’all at STPR in couple of weeks🤘.

1 week break from reality. I flew to Seattle to visit my cousin @tessparkhouse and attend a 2 day @ozrallypro training at @dirtfishrally with @rhianongelsomino & @alexgelsomino . Some Baja photos as well
