We headed up to New England to find our Fan of the Week. Seems his business connection extends to our hometown here in Race City USA, too.

You can tell this guy is a sports fan through-and-through by his answer of what he’d do if his favorite driver came to town. Like most of us, it seems he can be seen watching/following something year round in the sporting world.
