  Speaker 1: August of last year injuries sustained at the Rising Indy
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Car Series raise of Pocono Raceway not too far from here.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: This seems to be one of the great galvanizers for
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you to pour yourself into and your racing career into.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Think solar just is apply to race car driving? Where
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is this going? Yeah? So I'm actually a part of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the two campaigns. The campaign for Brandy this year for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: me is driven to say've lots um and that it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: basically a thing Justin and what he was able to do,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: uh in his pass thing which he was able to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: actually become a it was an organ donor, um arched
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: organ donor and was able to stay five lives. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to honor that and increase donor
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: registration UM. And at the same time, something I've been
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: really passionate about is I think solar. I mean that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I actually saw over a year ago, UM games at
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: increasing solar ad option here in the Indie cospel and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it seems sort of a little bit confusing to hear
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a race kind driver is concerned about the environment and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: UM that appreciate the environment and sees, you know that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the way we produce energy could be could be harmful
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to it. So for me, solar is such a it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: such a viable solution to produce energy and at the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: same time UM benefit the environment. So that was that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was something I'm passionate about him. UM wants to basically
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: introduce SOLA into the sport of Indica wherever we can
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: power the garage area was a lot of electricity, electricity
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: usage for even on pit lane. We all have these
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: tip boxes where all that crew basically sit around tiny
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: monitors and and computers analyzing data sort of energy usage there.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So my idea was to to maybe take that unit
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: off the grid and power it with SOLA. Now, Stephen,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be driving a number twenty five the k
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: V Chevy correct That's correct? Yeah, all right, And you've
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: got some major competition. I know, for example that Tony Cannon,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the veteran Brazilian, he's looking for his second indianapis five victory.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And I believe that in the final practice he reached
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty six miles per hour, that was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: his fastest lap. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's an average speed.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what's incredible about India. You know, it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it's center of innovation, and you know, the average speed
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: around here is how we judge, you know, how we
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: rank the order. And when people here two hundred twenty six,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they figure, oh, that's that's his top speed. But now
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that's that's actually his average. You know, that's what he
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: was there with you around here. So that means that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: on the straight away as you're reaching about two hundred
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: thirty miles an hour children thirty two maybe, and the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: corner is just with the scrub through the corners, you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: actually dropped down into flow to twenties, which gives you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that average. What's your strategy in this race? Stofun Well,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm actually a rookie. This has manly my
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: first thing. So as you pointed out, you know there's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: some stiff competition that I'm going up against a lot
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of experience. A lot of these has been here many
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: many years and have a for knowledge to rely on.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So for me, you know, I want to start building
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that knowledge and that means learning every single lap and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: if I can uh taking the check it on someday
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: on the black would be a huge achievement for me
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and would allow me to to get the experience you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: need to come back here next year and uh and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: improved situation. So um, that's that's my and obviously you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: just want to champion my campaigns. That drive would save
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: last campaign. Trying to get people to to register as
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: organ donors and at the same time trying to get
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: people to think sola. Um. Just really thankful to have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: such great partners innovative SOLA to help because become pains forward.
• 7:30
