A 17-Year-Old's Journey From Sim Racing To NASCAR

Yahoo Autos

Michael Conti is a 17-year-old high school student from N.J. with aspirations of becoming a professional race car driver. In many ways, Conti has achieved part of his dream, as he is the 2014 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series champion on the online racing sim, iRacing. But while handy on a computer, Conti has very little real-world driving experience, and the fastest he has ever driven is 85 mph in his dad's 2003 Chevy Impala.

That is, until Yahoo Autos sent him to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and put him behind the wheel of an actual NASCAR race car. To find out how he got on, click here to watch the video:
