From as early as he can remember, Michael McDowell was racing. He raced BMX at age three, go-carts through his childhood, and was on the national circuit by the time he was eight. He transitioned for Formula One and soon after had a Rookie of the Year premiere in NASCAR. A terrifying crash skyrocketed to fame and he found himself at a crossroads: who was he building a brand for?

McDowell has always viewed his career as calling. Each step of the way he has chosen to hold it loosely and even considered walking away at one point, but has known that his sphere of influence is in NASCAR. His family is also passionate about adoption and orphan care and Michael shares their journey with Laura in this episode.
