This weeks interview is with up and coming Nascar driver Michael Self. He started around age 12, racing go karts at the track just over the hill from home. He missed more than a couple school days due to races but in high school he made it into the K&N series and decided to get serious. He said the first time he tried stock cars he knew he was hooked. Michael started climbing through the ranks and now in 2015 is driving in the Xfinity series. 

Michael said he has taught at driving schools and worked as a development driver as part of his career. One position he had was as an instructor at Miller Motorsports Park starting in late 2008. When the Boss 302 came back out Ford gave training as a reward for purchasing one. The Boss Track Attack program was successful and led into even a Raptor off road program and other offerings and Michael got to watch the programs grow. He did comment that while instructing he had to remember to dial it back and remember that not all drivers are at his level and some were just starting to learn.
