I've been a fan of his since I listened to him getting his first Camping World Truck Series win on the radio last year!

Good lord, I actually remember that video and only now has it sunk in the significance of who posted that comment (ontop of watching that young man blowing away the field in the truck series and getting wins this year in Xfinity). thanks for making me feel even older, guys

I wonder how PRC.net feels about this, considering his continued slagging of iRacing?

Though on topic, it reaffirms my belief that esports is the future of getting young talent into motorsport. Certainly is going to allow a lot more kids the ability to get into motorsports, certainly is more cost productive then motorsports currently is.
