Inside the SCCA: Climbing the racing ladder with Jason Pribyl

Episode 144 of Inside the SCCA is a special one as we catch up with Jason Pribyl. Jason was the first guest on episode one. He had just come off his first trip to the Runoffs after several years in karts. Since then he's pursued the dream of being a professional race car driver. You've probably noticed Jason doesn't have a famous last name. His family never won the mega-ball. So he's going after it the old fashioned way. His story is eye-opening and he shared some nuggets of wisdom that will help any parent who is thinking about trying to help their kid climb the pro racing ladder.
