Colton’s racing career was inspired by his grandfather. Colton can remember when he was younger that he would race anything he could around the house, outside was his power wheels. At the young age of three, he was in his first Go-Kart and since then Colton has not looked back.
Colton states he loves to run upfront, he loves the competition and knowing that he is able to compete with others that are sometimes four times his age. Colton has big dreams of being in a Cup Car, he has the need for speed. As soon as he is age eligible, he will be in Sprint car (but do not tell his Mother or Grandmother.)

Colton has held several championships since 2014 starting with Junior Sportsman, to 2016 Dirt Devils Novice Track Champion, 2017 Henry Albritton Memorial Champion, 2x Sandi DeCaire Memorial Champion, 2019 Greg Leonard Classic Champion, and his latest accomplishment; the 2020 Eastbay Winter Kart Nationals Junior 2 Champion

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hialeah Park and Casino to host 15th Anniversary Hialeah Speedway Reunion.

Hialeah, Fl. : (1/21/2020)
Hialeah Speedway may have closed in 2005 but the memories are still alive today. On April 25th, 2020 the Hialeah Speedway Reunion marks its 15th anniversary of its demise. That doesn’t stop the memories that were made over the 51 years the 1/3 mile flat oval operated.
In 2010 Ronnie Bacelo took the reigns and hosted the first Hialeah Speedway Reunion and Hall of Fame inductions. Since then there has been five reunions and the attendance has ranged anywhere from 350 to 650. “We refuse to let it die, there are just too many memories and stories to be told” said Bacelo.
In 2015 Bacelo picked up a partner for these events in now track historian Bruce Griffin. Griffin has devoted countless hours to gather hard facts and statistics. “We are about 90% spot on with our numbers” said Griffin. It’s only going to get better from here.
On the night of April 25th at Hialeah Park and Casino located at 2200 East 4th Ave. Hialeah, Florida. You can bet the memories will continue as a whole new list of nominees will wait patiently to hear their name called. Only two per category will make the cut with a list of over sixty it’s going to be a nail biter to the end for some.
On Friday night April 24th will be the Talk Derby to Me Meet and Greet Autograph session at the Grand Palms Resort located at 110 Grand Palms Drive, Pembroke Pines, Fl. And will host some of the hottest stockcar drivers to ever hit the 1/3 mile speedplant of Hialeah Speedway.
