EVAN’S STORY

RACEWAY GIVES Sucess Story

"Taking Racing To The Next Level with Raceway Gives"

“I spent my early years developing my race craft and pushing myself to learn new karts, cars, and tracks. My focus has paid off as I continue to push forward with every new season. There have been many people in my life dedicated to helping me grow in the sport of racing.“

I am grateful to Raceway Gives to have been awarded the opportunity to do the same for other young people interested in motorsports.

I consider myself ‘hands-on’ and like to get involved and build different things. I have a great relationship with the younger kart racers at the Gateway Kartplex and like to work with them on and off the track. Through my Raceway Gives partnership, I have taught kids from the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation about Karting and my goal is to give back to all of the people who have supported me along the way and to give the younger generation of racers the best opportunity to experience racing at the next level. Whether that is coaching / teaching them or exposing them to the behind the scenes at the level of racing I am involved in on a race weekend.

In 2020 I attended two different advanced open wheel driving schools (Skip Barber – Formula 4 at COTA, and Lucas Oil School of Racing – Ray GR- RC at Sebring International Raceway). In addition to racing Sprint and Enduro karts, I participated in a ChampCar endurance race at COTA, driving a Lexus SC 300, and a Mazda Motorsports Shootout at Road Atlanta, where I drove a Mazda MX-5. I also plan to participate in the Lucas Oil Winter Series in 2021. As I advance my career in racing, I am dedicating myself to introducing the sport to the younger generation of racing through Raceway Gives.
