In this episode of the Daily Driver, I’m unpacking something I recently said during a webinar: I’d rather be wrong than indecisive. In everyday life, I’m intentional, I take my time before reaching conclusions because I value learning and adaptability. But when it comes to racing, I will stand behind what I said in that webinar.

Or will he leave empty handed?

Justin Lamb = Unbelievable!

This is what I love about November every year. This past weekend was absolutely captivating. Today’s episode of the Daily Driver is dedicated to Justin Lamb, who came into the event knowing he had to do one thing: win the race. Nothing less would do. And boy did he show out!
