Its truly amazing what he has overcome but people dont realize what these drivers go through and put themselves through. Best of luck Mark! One thing is for sure the first quarter of racing will get alot more interesting!!

Only if he was on a Casie Coleman robot.

James is far more talented.

Lots forget before Mark dominated at WEG, he tried and failed in his first foray, back to Windsor but came back & dominated. Turned into more of a driver not just run n gun.
