Late last night 🌙 while I was writing ✍ the story on the Carroll County Softball game I received a message from Dakota Walls.

For those of you that are not familiar with the name, Walls is Student here in Carroll County that happens to be a race car driver. As we are always looking for ways to assist our youth here at home I became intrigued by someone who was so young already racing cars 🏎.

Linda and I made the trip over to the Franklin County Speedway for his first race 🏁 of the season and do our best to keep up with his efforts on the various Race Tracks.

While we are one of the number of folks that sponsor his car, we still haven’t met in person. Last night he informed me that I was only half right in describing him as a High School 🏫 student.

Dakota Walls is a student, just not in High School. The young man is attending the Middle School 🏫. For me, this only makes the story even better! Having the level of commitment to chase a dream, while still attending Middle School is astonishing in my World 🌎.

Dakota will return to the Oval this Sunday at Franklin County Speedway.
