Inside the SCCA, with Asad Nikadambaev
In this episode of Inside the SCCA, I sit down with rising racing talent Asad Nikadambaev, who stunned the field at Buttonwillow Raceway by taking victory in Spec Racer Ford Gen3 against some of the most experienced drivers in the class. Asad’s journey started the way many modern drivers do – karting, sim racing and relentless practice on the sim – but his rise through the ranks has been incredibly fast. If you want to understand how young drivers climb the motorsports ladder, this episode gives you a rare look inside the mindset, preparation, and family support behind a rising racing career. And yes… he held off multiple national champions to do it.
