Andy Potts: “I’m excited to go fast!”

I don’t know my limits yet…

As well as chatting to the Challenge Family CEO (HERE), I also spoke to USA Pro athlete, Andy Potts, at the launch on Wednesday of Challenge Daytona (www.challenge-daytona.com).

Looking for new challenge every year, Andy will be racing at the Daytona International Speedway on Saturday 8th December 2018, which will see Pro athletes racing for a prize fund of $20,000. Having recently produced his faster ever time in Kona, the soon to be 41 year old is as excited and hungry as he has ever been in his long and successful career to date.

Check out the Challenge Daytona preview video below (and read more about the launch HERE).
