Early life
Chad was born in Awesomeness City, but shortly moved to Random City after turning one. His dad Cole, was a successful Formula 1 driver at the time of his birth, which lead Chad to having an obsession with racing.

Chad was raised mostly by his mom, since his dad had to travel all around the world to participate in F1 races. Because of a bakery his mom had owned and worked in, Chad was able to have a very healthy childhood.

Chad attended Random-ness School, and graduated in 1981, which was around the same time RARCAR was first being broadcasted.

1984-1985: Beginnings
Chad joined the RARCAR Genesis Series and first raced in 1984, his first race was a 1/3 dirt track, he did well, and scored 6th. His win came shortly after in another 1/3 racetrack. He got another win next year.

On September 28, 1985, a week after his 23rd birthday, Chad was accepted into the RARCAR Cup Series and was part of his dad's "Energetic Engines" team. Chad didn't do well in his first race, finishing 32nd after being collected in a crash. However, Chad surprisingly got his very first win in his next race. During the last lap, the two leaders collided and spun in the final turn of the track, Chad, who was at fourth place at the time, now became the leader, as third place couldn't avoid one of the cars and impacted it near its rim. A 23-year old Chad was declared winner and awarded about $10,000. Chad completed the last few races of the year in pretty good positions, the best being 3rd. He scored 4th in points. Towards the end of the year, Chad finally had a car number and sponsor.

1986
This season saw Chad with a sponsor for the first time, Tony's Toys, a popular toy company from Pingasville at the time, Chad's car also received a very unique car, which was a black car he called the "Black Best Boi." Due to the sponsorship with Tony's Toys, many children were introduced to RARCAR.

Chad's first race of the 1986 season was his first Fried Chicken 500, he didn't do too well as he was collected in another big crash. His dad however, took the victory and won, it was the 11th win in his career.

Over the next few races, Chad would get multiple wins, but had to gain one more victory to win the season.

During the last race of 1986, the Lake Cheesepuff 1000, Chad qualified and started at 6th. Throughout the entire race, Chad made multiple impressive passes and by the last lap he was in second place, and needed to pass another racer. In the final lap, the other racer kept blocking Chad from getting first place, but in the final turn, Chad make one of the most impressive passes in all of RARCAR history, beating the other racer just 0.010 of a second. The win put Chad on the top of the standings, he had won the 1986 season.

1987
The 1987 season started off great for Chad, as he won the first race of the season, the 1987 Fried Chicken 500. Chad won 7 races, had 21 top-fives and 4 top-tens. Chad was able to defend his championship for the second time. Chad was also famous at this time when he won a race just beating the other competitor (Jacob Melvin II) by 0.003 of a second. Many considered it at the time to be Chad's most memorable moment.
