Getting to Know, Adam Williams

We want to introduce Adam Williams as the new driver of our #14 R & D Racing I-MOD. Adam made his debut at Shadyhill on June 27th and has made steady progress in adapting to our I-MOD.

Adam originally did some go-kart racing, mainly just for fun. In 2006 he started racing the family Barefoot Mini Stock and while he didn't win any races he finished 5th in the yearly points standing. In 2007 he continued in the Barefoot Division and finally won his first race. While it was a heat race he had consistently good finishes and he finished 4th in the points.

In 2008 Adam moved up to the Pure Street Division and took off in a very positive way by winning the first race he was in, again it was a heat race. This was the start of a very good year where he won three features on his way to winning the Shadyhill Track Championship in his rookie year in this division.

Adam was born on the 2nd of December in 1991 at the hospital in Renselaer. His dad Keith and mother Sharon and two older brothers, Brandon and James are very supportive of Adam's racing and you will find them at the race track every night that Adam is racing.

For this 2009 race season, Adam is leading the Pure Street points standing late in the month of August. He has won numerous heat races and two features thus far and he's hoping to become a two time champion of the division. The last part of June he accepted an opportunity to drive the R & D Racing I-MOD. He has done very well in learning to drive a very different type of race car than what he has raced in the past. He has won three heat races, one at Kankakee and two at Shadyhill thus far. He is looking forward to winning his first feature in his yellow and white #14 I-MOD.

Adam tells that Tony Stewart is his favorite driver and he would like to continue his racing career by moving up to the Modified Division and possibly Late Models in the future. He is now a Senior at KV High School and hopes to continue his education after he graduates next spring. His job at McDonalds in Demotte has recently put him in a management training position so Adam is a very busy young man.

At this time there are no definite plans for the 2010 race season but talks amongst our race team are developing some thoughts and possibilities. Everyone involved is enjoying the current season and thinking positively about next year.
