Start at 2:03:00
My #3 nephew wins at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
I'm not really a racing fan but it's cool to see him.

Damn , that looks fun -- and those things look fast! I spent so many years watching different types of racing and thinking "I could do that!" and now with my old man reflexes and older man vision I know that's no longer the case. How cool are those drone shots?

I only turned left on dirt in a circle back when I was racing limited modified with no body around the kart so this looks totally alien (but fun!) to me.

I still like seeing sprint cars and midget cars race from time to time but my time flying around at 80mph for 40-100$ a win is done. Too expensive and too much BS.. both only get worse as years go on.

This is how he was traveling to the different tracks before he got a trailer.

I was thinking, since they're doing drone footage, they should have had more drones over the track to give close-ups of the cars. The "nosebleed" view makes it difficult to see much.

Pretty sure they didnt have NASCAR money when they filmed those races. Besides, it was all about the announcers getting excited and everything. Watching the carts driving fast is pretty boring, even with good cameras.

Hard to believe that kid is a rocket scientist

Some rando spotted my nephew driving around Florida last year and posted a picture on his FB page

Dude how the hell does he lift it up there? It was a 2-man job to even throw ours in the pickup bed before we got a trailer.
