He wanted to race a trophy truck or at least ride in one, so he could write his reality TV show he was trying to sell to Hollywood.... I felt that he had qualified for some sort of recruitment because he asked, and whined, and asked again..... People have to really want something before they get it..... If you want it bad enough, you'll get it..... That's how I roll.... It's known as the power of attraction...... I was a little shocked as you can hear in the video, that the kid had never driven a car period.... He did not know how to even drive, yet he was in here talking smack to some of the best.... He claimed with just one hour of seat time, he could beat the best off road had to offer..... I liked him because he could get under people's skin.... and he could take a verbal licking..... stuff I'm good at....
Anyway, I let him drive the Toyota at night, so we didn't get any footage of that, but he was so impressed by how clear the radio was in the helmet and that I could talk to him from my race trailer and tell him when to shift and when to brake.....His dad was riding co-dawg.... So he got the experience he needed of actually being at the helm of a fully equipped race truck..... the Toyota is still pretty bad ass.... I let him borrow one of my PCI wired race helmets that had gone off Snell Cert. so he could sit in his bedroom in Las Vegas and dream about racing and write his TV show.....
To his credit, he called me and offered to return the helmet, but I told him to keep it.....
I really thought he would make it someday doing something.....
Blind ambition.....
And you know what,...... You don't win Jeopardy without knowing a little something about everything..... I'm talking History, Shakespeare, bla, bla, bla......
Long Live the RDC legend of Brayden Smith.....!!!!!!!!!!!!
He won..... !!!! And that's what we live for........
Tune in tonight....!!!!! ABC 7:00pm
