What does it take to come back from defeat and strive for redemption? Mikey Brown, a true embodiment of resilience, shares his inspiring journey on a second attempt to win the prestigious Hot Wheels Legends Tour.

Last year, Mikey came incredibly close to victory, capturing the attention of Jay Leno and inspiring countless others with his innovative "paper to pavement" builds. But falling short only fueled his determination to return stronger than ever.


Fresh off winning the Houston Regional Event, Mikey joins NC Shop Talk to discuss his experience from last year's heartbreaking finals loss and how it's fueled his 2024 "Run at Redemption" in pursuit of Hot Wheels immortalization.
