These were both stand out roles for him that are currently streaming.

David is most proud to be unveiling the "old Ford" that his dad encouraged him to "fix up." Before his father passed away he made a commitment to honor his dad and make sure the old Ford got back to what it was before David came along. It's been an absolutely amazing journey taking it from his Papaw's field to the main floor at the 2023 MCACN show. Photo Credit: Freeze Frame Photography-Al Rogers
