HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN RACING AND HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU RACED?: Being around race cars at home in the family’s garage and at racetracks is basically all I’ve ever known in life. I grew up watching my papaw (Runah Henry), dad (Skimp Henry) and uncle (Shawn Henry) race, and I wanted to be like them when I got old enough and drive a race car. … I started racing when I was 12 years old in Front Wheel Drive, then moved up to Mini Stock, followed by running Street Stock/Modified Street, and once dad stopped racing I began running a Crate Late Model. I currently compete in both the Crate Late Model and Street Stock classes.
