17 year old second generation South Dakota Sprint Car racer Cole Garner has a remarkably balanced view on his racing opportunities and aspirations.
It would be easy for him to just 'expect' that he should get a ride.
I mean there are plenty of bits and pieces laying around where you could bolt a car together right?
The son of legendary wheelman Clint Garner this passionate sometime golfer understands how fortunate he is to have the people around him and the legacy his famous family are providing.
I caught up with Cole today at the team raceshop and in between hearing his perspective I marvelled at the quantity of "Garner Blue" chrome moly and memories that filled this building in various forms.
This is a neat young man and I really enjoyed the way he handled our chat today.
