Full Throttle Arizona: Michael McDowell on journey from Go-Kart mechanic to Daytona 500 winner

The latest guest to join me on Full Throttle Arizona is none other than Glendale’s Michael McDowell!

He went from winning on BMX bikes to winning the Daytona 500.

On this episode, he walks me through that journey, the challenges and his favorite car to drive. I hope you enjoy listening to his stories as much as I did.
