Went to the again and went from twenty fourth to eleventh within the remaining 2 laps. I’m so grateful to my workforce and @hairclub and sponsors for making my dream a actuality!”

During the race, Frankie was getting props from the broadcasters for avoiding what might’ve been a serious accident … so, yeah, he was hanging powerful with the most effective of them on the market.

FM has been racing for years now, however it wasn’t till just lately that he determined to pursue it full-time … forgoing his appearing profession, for now, and choosing the scent of burned rubber as an alternative.

We truly talked to him final month about his foray into a complete new trade, and he made it clear to us that he was over the moon concerning the alternative, and deliberate to take it significantly. Considering how properly he is performed for his first official outing, most likely much more so.
