Before First GearRocco Landers: 19 Year old MotoAmerica riderReally interesting to hear from Rocco Landers, MotoAmerica Twins Cup Champion and a guy who's been on two wheels since he could walk.

He's raced both overseas, trying to progress to MotoGP and is now active in the Baggers series in MotoAmerica. Every race win and decision he's making today is helping set him up to be a future champ, hopefully we'll see him on the global stage some day.

Speaking with she shared her story around how she worked to develop the skills to get all the way to AMA.

Before First GearSergio Pena: a wild ride to NASCARSergio Pena is an insanely talented driver, having won multiple karting championships in the early 2000's and progressing right to the lower ranks of open wheel. Like so many drivers though, running out of funding to make the jump to the next step of the ladder in open wheels led him to find alternatives. In this case it was the early days of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program which put Sergio right on a track into Xfinity.
