Joining him at the track was Blake Grisco, a racing enthusiast who is also the son of a WUN board member and brother to a person living with Narcolepsy! Despite having to deal with his radio coming unplugged, leaving Vincent to drive blind without his spotter, and a miscommunication that led to starting at the rear of the field again, he finished in position 8🥳 His car featured WUN on the bumper! 📲Read the full recap and learn more about virtual races you can tune into on Tuesday nights: https://lnkd.in/eDMTCraX Thank you to Vincent for the amazing work you are doing to raise awareness and for letting us be a part of your journey, as well as to Blake for representing WUN!
