Colton Flinner was one day older than 15 when he won the Late Model race! He is still nearly one year away from being able to get a driver's license. This was his first win, but he must have been doing reasonably well in past races -- 10th in points.

Yes, he had a father and another relative in racing. But, how did he learn to drive this way? It might be an interesting story to hear what has happened to him in the past couple of years.

Who would put him behind the wheel of the investment in a Pro Late Model car? Somebody has high confidence in this young man.

Thanks for the info, Roger. Sounds somewhat similar to another young man we all know on the NASCAR circuit. It amazes me how these youngsters drive race cars long before they're allowed to drive on the road, and Colton obviously has a bright future ahead of him.
