A Leap of Faith

You had just won your 4th GoKarting Nationals title and was ready to move on to the Stock Nationals (fictional series), in the #7 Hooters car. And you had also moved to Daytona, Florida. Since the first race of YOUR season was on a Wednesday, you had plenty of time to get to the track. But today was Saturday, so you had a lot of time. But suddenly, you end up meeting someone you don't expect, the retired driver Carl Edwards. After a bit of talking, he gives you a choice. Will you coward out and hide, or take this leap of faith?
