GHIT 0265:  Kyle Lockrow Upcoming Professional Racing Driver

Kyle is a racing driver who has worked his way from a grassroots racing hobby to a professional career that has reached the NASCAR level.  We had the opportunity to talk with him about his history and how amateur racing and especially amateur endurance racing has helped him progress and improve to the national level.  His story is still being written, but after meeting him, we are huge fans and wish him nothing but the best.  If that story isn’t inspiring enough, he did this in spite of racing with (our good friends at) Race Bar

Highlights from this episode include:

1)  We learn how Kyle has transitioned from amateur racing to being involved with NASCAR.  Believe it or not, racing our junk race cars has actually helped Kyle progress.

2)  What can you learn from amateur racing that transfers to higher levels and even the professional level.

3)  Kyle asks us about what our training regimen is and surprisingly, we actually had an answer he liked.

4)  Kyle's schedule for 2022 is still to be finalized, but it sounds like a very busy year for him.

5)  How amateur endurance taught Kyle how to pass and be passed, as well as sharpens his ability to race other cars. 

6)  Several of the differences between professional racing and amateur racing.  Surprisingly, some of the pro's can even learn a few things from our amateur teams that would help them on a race weekend.

7)  Bill rambles through a question to try to quantify what the differences are between the driver pool in the pro series and the drivers in the amateur series drivers.  Kyle makes the best of Bill's awkwardly worded question, lol.

8)  And then Kyle actually wanted to do our fast and furious story time questions.  We thank him for tolerating our little slice of insanity.

9)  We lose count of how often we made fun of Race Bar.  RACE BAR!!!!!
