Lawrence first took part in a demolition derby at the Boone County Fair 17 years ago, and he's competed every year since.

"The first time (I competed) I was scared to death," Lawrence said. "I didn't know what to expect. But I ended up falling in love with it."

Lawrence says he keeps coming back because it gives him a thrill.

"I'm an adrenaline junkie," Lawrence said. "(Demolition derbies) let you go out and take all your agitation out."

And he's good at them. Lawrence said that he's won several derbies in the past, and he almost always places in the top three.
