#8 Craig Stanton: The Fittest Man In Motorsports, Part 1 Sep 12, 2018

Craig Stanton is a championship winning racecar driver, the fittest man in motorsports and someone who truly embodies the philosphy of a positive mental attitude. Craig is a Southern California native who has raced it all: two wheels, four wheels, off road, on road, sprint and endurance.

His lifelong dedication to physical fitness, mental conditioning and philosophical balance is what has allowed him to achieve success, and earned him the utmost respect of his compitetors. He's a mentor to me, whether he realizes it or not and has forgotten more about what it takes to "make it" than most young drivers today will ever know.
