The “Young Guns” of African American Racing

April 20, 2009admin 11 Comments »

Friday night I spent the evening with African American racing legend Charlie “Roger” Downes and Host/Producer Chris Miles from www.startinggrid.com to meet with some extraordinary young african american drivers chasing their dreams.  They are David Sims Jr.(8), Josh Young (13) and Frank Young Jr. (16).  They are fueled by enthusiam for the sport of racing and the desire to reach the heights of a driver like Lewis Hamilton, 2008 F-1 Champion www.lewishamilton.com

You can read more about these incredible young men at the following sites:
