Jordan Anderson has
drive, in more ways than one. The seventeen-year-old
is not only an up-and-coming race-car driver (Humpy
Wheeler's The Wheeler Company recently endorsed
him), but also a marketing entrepreneur who started
self-promoting when he was ten. This year alone,
Jordan has raised $60,000 in sponsorship cash.
Here's a look at what he does on an average day.
Find out how Anderson got his start in NASCAR, who's
his racing hero, and what was his worst racing
