Gabriel Gilbert Racing

I started karting at the age of 5. Through quick success I found a passion for racing and through failure I gained skills I will have for the rest of my life. Even though I'm the only driver of my car, it is still a team effort. Without my father or my mother's support I wouldn't be where I am today. Racing shows you that you can't do anything alone and that helping each other out is so important. Racing has taught me the importance of working as a team but also developing my own individual skills as well. When on the track our weekend depends on me at that point. Every split second decision I make will determine our outcome. This has taught me to be independent and made me a better problem solver. This has also taught me to think logically and calmly under pressure to get the best finish for my team, especially after they did their part to put together the best possible car for me. Now, at the start of my sprint car racing career, I am learning another valuable skill. While starting my learning curve, I have needed to learn perseverance. Every time I'm on the track, I improve and learn something new. I'm extremely excited to see where this new road ahead takes me.
