Smurfy came into the 2007 season as rookie and turned out to be the most impressive rookie that the board has ever seen. He turned out to be the rookie of the year for Overall, Cup, Busch and Truck. But there was no denying him this award as he did earn it. All of his points finishing finishes for the regular season were top 3. In overall, he finished 2nd while he led the site with 17 victories. These 17 victories now have him holding the current record for the most wins in one season. He also holds the record for the most overall races per single player as he managed to get 3 of his wins in a row. The big hitter for him was the Cup Series where he is the champion. He found his way to the top with 6 wins including the Budweiser Shootout and Nextel Open victories. These wins also found him holding the current record for the most wins in one season and most cup races won in a row at 3. One of his wins got him a total of 515 points which is the highest total for a Cup Series player. He found his way to 3rd in Busch while getting his 6 Busch Series victories. He also managed to find the most Busch races in a row record & the highest total for a Busch Series pick record. He also made a big comeback late in the season to get 2nd in truck while he got 5 wins there. Likewise in the other divisions, he got the record for the most truck races in a row and the highest total for a truck series pick. Smurfy is a proud member of the House of Evil team in which won all 4 regular season champions. As a team, they hold the following records: most overall, cup, Busch and truck wins in one season (23); most overall races in a row per team (3); most cup races in a row per team (2); most Busch races in a row per team
Smurfy dominated the regular 2007 season, winning the most races of anybody. Everybody was looking for him to come in the chase and dominate, yet that wasn�t meant to be. He ended up finishing 3rd in the chase standings with only 3 wins. Instead of dominating the cup series like he did in the regular season, he finished 4th with no cup wins. He came close in Busch to winning the title by finishing 4th, only 18 points behind the champion with 2 wins. The truck series he didn�t even score upon the top as he finished 3rd with 1 win.
For the 2008 season, Smurfy wouldn't do as well as did the previous year as he'd finish 2nd in the superior, 1,019 points the champion and 4th in overall. In Cup he wouldn't be as strong as he'd finish 3rd and only win 3 races, including the Bud SHootout for the second year in a row. Smurfy would make up for Cup win disappointment in the Nationwide Series as he'd win a series high 7 races, including the Daytona sweep with the Camping World 300 & Winn-Dixie 250. He'd also keep up his good playing in the Truck Series as he'd win a series high 5 races, including the Daytona race, though would only manage a fifth place finish out of it. He continued his stretch of series high wins in series as he won a series high 6 races in the ARCA series, including his first at Kentucky, on his way to finishing 5th in points. He also left his mark in the West Series with it's first year as he won 2 races with those being Iowa and Miller on his way to finishing 3rd in points, 5 points behind the leader. In its counter part the East Series, he won at Iowa on his way to finishing 6th in points. He also left his mark in the USAR Nothern Series in it's first year as he won the most races there with 3 as he won Milwaukee, Rockford and Bristol on his way to co-winning the championship with teammate Ladybug Princess by 4020 points. He'd also leave the same type of mark in it's the counter part the USAR Southern Series as he'd win 3 races there also with those being Concord, Milwaukee, and the Crane Cams 250 on his way to co-winning the championship with teammate Ladybug Princess by 60 points.

In the 2008 Chase, Smurfy got back to his old ways by winning the Superior championship, 480 points over 2nd, with 11 wins which is the highest of the 2008 Chase. He kept that going by winning the Overall championship, 500 points over 2nd after taking the lead in the Amp Energy 500 and winning 8 races which is the highest of the 2008 Chase. He then continued his championship winning ways by winning the Cup championship, 72 points over 2nd, after taking the lead in the last race and winning the second-last race at Phoenix with the Checker Auto Parts 500. Despite not making the Nationwide Chase, he still showed that he�d be a contender there next year as he won a series-high 4 races. His good season continued into the Truck Series as he finished 3rd, 80 points behind 1st with a series-high 3 wins. Though his goodness in the chase came to a halt with the ARCA Chase as he finished 6th and then followed that up with 11th in East, 96 points out of the Chase, and 10th in the West Chase. He ended it off by co-winning the USAR Champions Chase with teammate Ladybug Princess, 30 points over her other teammate Wondergirl with a series-high 3 wins.
