Mario is a native of Canada, born October 20, 1971 in St. Marie, Quebec. He lived there for several years before moving with his family to South Florida. He and his wife Michelle married and then settled in Lake Wales, Florida a few years ago. They now have two daughters, Megan and Madison.
Mario is a multiple winner on the ARCA RE/MAX Series and 2-time USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series Champion. He began his racing career in 1990 at Hialeah, FL by winning their “Pure Stock Division” Championship. He moved into Late Models the very next year and has multiple championships and many wins to his credit at various speedways in the years since then. Recently he won at the new Nashville Superspeedway in the ARCA/REMAX series in 2003 and finished 3rd in the March 2005 race. Other highlights include his amazing feat of qualifying on the pole and going on to WIN in his very first ARCA start. That first ARCA victory came at none other than Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C. |
