Brief History

Daniel Adam started racing Legends when he was 13 after falling in love with motorsports around 4 or 5 years old, watching his dad race. Daniel won four races in the Legends division, including the Pro Division North Carolina State Championship and finishing eighth nationally against the best Legend drivers in the nation.

He qualified for the feature in all his Limited Late Model starts despite being under-powered with a CT525 crate engine. In fact, he finished sixth in his first race in the division.
