Ollie loves racing because the moment he straps in, everything else fades away. It’s his escape, his therapy, and his passion. After beating cancer so young, the track became his happy place where he’s not a survivor, just a driver chasing the win. Racing lets him forget the hard times and focus on the thrill, the speed, and the joy of doing what he loves most. 🏁
Ollie’s inspired by Kyle Busch on and off the track. After breaking his leg in a crash, Kyle came back the same year and won the championship. That grit, heart, and drive to overcome pain and prove people wrong hits close to home for Ollie. As a cancer survivor, he sees Kyle as proof that setbacks don’t define you, comebacks do.
The proudest moment was when Ollie won his first race at 14, beating a former series champion and making history as the youngest winner ever in series history. After everything he’s been through, seeing him cross that finish line first knowing the fight it took to get there was unforgettable. It wasn’t just a win on the track, it was a win in life.
