What does it take to turn a childhood passion for racing into a career spanning motorsports, engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship?

This week on Sports Without Borders, Mark Mancini and Karla Vasquez are joined by Harold Martin Sr., engineer, entrepreneur and founder of Martin Technologies. Known as the “EFI Wizard,” Harold became the first African American driver to win an IHRA national event and the first driver to win a National Pro Modified event using electronic fuel injection.

Harold shares how his love of motorsports began alongside his father, eventually leading him to engineering, General Motors, professional racing and the creation of his own company. He discusses the relentless drive behind his success, why he believes in “persistence over resistance,” and the importance of mentoring the next generation.

The conversation also explores how motorsports drives automotive innovation, the value of experienced veterans in an age of AI and automation, and the wide range of careers available in racing beyond the driver's seat.

Plus, Mark and Karla discuss affordable access to major sporting events and whether motorsports can become a stronger pathway into engineering and other careers.

It's a conversation about competition, innovation and turning passion into opportunity.
