Around the World in Motorsports: July 19 |
Frontstretch Line of the Week "I kind of fell into it on accident. If I’m being completely honest, I went to a go-kart track called Palm Beach Raceway, which had rental go-karts similar to what you’d see like at Trackhouse Motorplex. I kind of did that for fun with a couple of buddies of mine. Next thing you know, I
fell in love and ended up going to the Daytona 500 later that year [in] 2017. I watched how that race unfolded and how entertaining that was." - Mason Maggio, on how he got into racing. |
