In this episode of Late to Grid, we sit down with Dexter Shreeve, who shares the story of finally chasing down his motorsports dream—starting with a Track Night in America event…in his daily driver Toyota Camry.
Dexter walks us through the nerves, the excitement, and the learning curve of getting on track for the first time. From buying his first helmet on the way to the event to pushing his Camry harder than ever before, Dexter’s story proves that you don’t need a race car to get started—you just need to go.
We also talk about vintage racing dreams, balancing family and business ownership with track time, and how even the smallest first step can lead to big things.
Whether you're still “thinking about it” or reminiscing about your first event, Dexter’s story will inspire you to stop waiting and just drive.
