In this episode, we get to know Brett Williamson - a 22-year-old bracket racing rising star from Rockford, Illinois. This wide ranging interview deconstructs what it truly means to “eat, sleep and breathe” drag racing. From waking up at 4:55 AM every morning to make time for the practice tree before school, to his father Larry’s origins as a motorcycle racer, and how construction on his trademark ’57 Chevy began when he was only four-years-olds, you will be truly amazed and motivated by his work ethic and dedication. Williamson's maturity is well beyond his years as he leans heavily on the experience of his mentors, gets his mind right by reading books on sports psychology, and strives to be better everyday.
