What’s it like to juggle school, siblings and a stacked race schedule at just 11 years old? In this episode, host Heather Wilson Schiltz chats with rising star Cole Peterman and his mom, Kristen, about life behind the scenes of youth roadracing. Cole races in the South Florida MiniGP and WERA series and already has multiple wins and championships under his belt.

From managing race-day nerves to wild battles on the track with friends, Cole shares what he’s learned on (and off) the track.

Kristen gives a candid look at what it takes to support a young racer, including the chaos of her and her husband, Nick, hauling four kids, a dog, and a trailer full of motorcycles around the Southeast. If you’ve ever wondered how kids get started in roadracing, or what it’s like to be a motorsports parent with no racing background, this episode delivers.
