"Classic" Championship Race Victory in 2006 (Only one other than Matt or Chris to win it). 2006 Feature victory at Oswego Speedway's mixed-class dirt go-kart

Hobbies & interests:
Work ("I'm a weld-or. Rarr."), watching news, sleeping while watching news, eating, almost
sleeping while eating, sleeping, watching & sleeping during racing,
watching Speed Channel, sleeping while watching Speed Channel;
Racing go-karts; Re-occurring parodied character and co-star
of his own comic book that is written and illustrated by his "big
boy" Chris.
Fun and F***in' Foolish Facts:
Wesley has a "feast or famine" racing talent. He either is very
fast and tough to beat, or he makes rookie-mistakes and can't
pass anybody. An example of this is that he didn't win one race
in 2006 except for the biggest Oswego Dirt Track and Galletta's
Greenhouse Speedway races of that year. Another example is that
he always time-trials one of the quickest every year. And
finally, another prime example is that he led most of the 2007
Klassic, then spun out, and then coming back up through the
field, he crashed wildly, breaking 5 ribs and his shoulder-blade
- which may be his last career race.
