He races a 2001 John Green Junior Dragster at his home track of Centerville Dragway.

Gilkey, who calls Race Rogers his racing hero, has been competing for a year and a half. But, he has found success with multiple wins and several semifinal appearances. The best part of racing for him is dropping people on the big end.

As someone who enjoys history, Gilkey wants to make some history of his own with a goal to move up to the Sportsman class and eventually working his way up to Top.
