Ben began his driving career in 2019, as a sophomore college student, running iRacing. Upon graduation, he purchased his current Subaru BRZ, and attended his first track event with COMSCC in 2022 at Thompson. He was hooked immediately, and reports that COM’s instructors were very attentive and helpful. Ben has continued to run COMSCC events and is a regular attendee at the COMSCC iRacing league, where he often finishes on the podium.
Follow along and root for Ben!
