Race car driver and Porsche enthusiast, Jake Rodenroth, shares why his first Porsche means so much to him, in this exclusive clip of this week's new Fascinating episode: Race Car Diaries: "Racing in Porsches with My Dad"

Have you ever wanted to be a race car driver? Either professionally or as a hobby? Well, you certainly can if you have what it takes to go the distance. 

On this week's full episode of "Fascinating with Sasha Tobago," streaming now, we're hanging out with Jake Rodenroth, a Porsche car lover in Jacksonville, Florida, who has been racing sports cars on professional tracks like Daytona and Sebring for over 20 years. 

Not only that, but he's the son of a former professional race car driver who didn't turn pro until his late forties. Showcasing that, sometimes, it's never too late to realize your dream. And that, when you least expect it, the opportunity of a lifetime can come out of nowhere.
