0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>August of last year injuries sustained at the Rising Indy

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Car Series raise of Pocono Raceway not too far from here.

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>This seems to be one of the great galvanizers for

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you to pour yourself into and your racing career into.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Think solar just is apply to race car driving? Where

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>is this going? Yeah? So I'm actually a part of

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the two campaigns. The campaign for Brandy this year for

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>me is driven to say've lots um and that it's

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>basically a thing Justin and what he was able to do,

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>uh in his pass thing which he was able to

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>actually become a it was an organ donor, um arched

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>organ donor and was able to stay five lives. And

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're trying to honor that and increase donor

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>registration UM. And at the same time, something I've been

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>really passionate about is I think solar. I mean that

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually saw over a year ago, UM games at

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>increasing solar ad option here in the Indie cospel and

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it seems sort of a little bit confusing to hear

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 1>a race kind driver is concerned about the environment and

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>UM that appreciate the environment and sees, you know that

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 1>the way we produce energy could be could be harmful

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>to it. So for me, solar is such a it's

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>such a viable solution to produce energy and at the

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>same time UM benefit the environment. So that was that

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>was something I'm passionate about him. UM wants to basically

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>introduce SOLA into the sport of Indica wherever we can

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>power the garage area was a lot of electricity, electricity

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>usage for even on pit lane. We all have these

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>tip boxes where all that crew basically sit around tiny

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>monitors and and computers analyzing data sort of energy usage there.

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>So my idea was to to maybe take that unit

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>off the grid and power it with SOLA. Now, Stephen,

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be driving a number twenty five the k

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>V Chevy correct That's correct? Yeah, all right, And you've

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>got some major competition. I know, for example that Tony Cannon,

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>the veteran Brazilian, he's looking for his second indianapis five victory.

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that in the final practice he reached

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and twenty six miles per hour, that was

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>his fastest lap. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's an average speed.

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's what's incredible about India. You know, it's

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.679
<v Speaker 1>it's center of innovation, and you know, the average speed

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 1>around here is how we judge, you know, how we

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>rank the order. And when people here two hundred twenty six,

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>they figure, oh, that's that's his top speed. But now

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that's that's actually his average. You know, that's what he

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>was there with you around here. So that means that

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 1>on the straight away as you're reaching about two hundred

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty miles an hour children thirty two maybe, and the

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>corner is just with the scrub through the corners, you

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>actually dropped down into flow to twenties, which gives you

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that average. What's your strategy in this race? Stofun Well,

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>for me, I'm actually a rookie. This has manly my

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>first thing. So as you pointed out, you know there's

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>some stiff competition that I'm going up against a lot

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of experience. A lot of these has been here many

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>many years and have a for knowledge to rely on.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>So for me, you know, I want to start building

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that knowledge and that means learning every single lap and

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>if I can uh taking the check it on someday

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>on the black would be a huge achievement for me

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and would allow me to to get the experience you

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>need to come back here next year and uh and

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>improved situation. So um, that's that's my and obviously you

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>just want to champion my campaigns. That drive would save

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>last campaign. Trying to get people to to register as

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>organ donors and at the same time trying to get

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>people to think sola. Um. Just really thankful to have

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>such great partners innovative SOLA to help because become pains forward.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.360
