Strap in as we throttle through the tumultuous terrains of off-road racing with none other than eight-time champion BJ Baldwin. Get ready to feast on the fascinating physics of off-road truck racing, the gut-wrenching dangers of the sport, and the sheer adrenaline of competing in the Baja 1000 - a race that BJ conquered multiple times.

It's not all about roaring engines and stirring up dirt, though. The episode takes a turn into BJ's other passions - martial arts and ballistic training, and how they've influenced his approach to life and racing. BJ talks about his initiation into Jiu-Jitsu by his friend Dana White and how it has helped him develop a sense of self-preservation and control. Listen in as BJ recounts how his martial arts experience and defensive tactics training played a pivotal role when he faced life-threatening situations. We get a peek into BJ's rigorous health and fitness regimen and how he's passing on his love for martial arts to his son.

As we cruise through the episode, we also get to meet BJ's extraordinary canine companion, Trauma, a well-trained asset to BJ's team. You won't want to miss the intriguing command BJ has for Trauma that helps keep everyone's fear levels in check. We wrap up the episode reminiscing about the great time we had in Vegas and look forward to a potential part two in the future. So sit back and buckle up for a riveting expedition into BJ Baldwin's world where off-road racing meets martial arts, health & fitness, and man's best friend.
