"Life Lessons from the Fast Lane of Auto Racing"

Sam Hornish Jr. has spent more than 30 years behind the wheel, starting when he first strapped into a go-kart at the age of 11.

He would go on to win the World Karting Association’s U.S. Grand National championship just four years later – and eventually the Indy 500 in 2006! In eight seasons, he won 19 races and captured three IndyCar championships.

Join us to hear as Sam shares the lessons he learned as a successful driver in the Indy Racing League and NASCAR Xfinity Series.
