Racing is so much more than just driving a racecar. Every time you strap into that seat, there’s a mental battle that comes with it — the nerves, the pressure, the fear of what could happen, and the constant fight to stay focused.
Tyler was recently given the opportunity to share his perspective on anxiety as a racecar driver with the Rochester Hills Resiliency Center - a program of Common Ground in Michigan. Being able to talk about something that so many people struggle with, while showing that even when you’re doing something you absolutely love, anxiety can still be a very normal part of it, is something we’re incredibly proud of him for.
RHRC is a program in Oakland County Michigan that supports the community and those impacted by a tragic mass violence incident that happened in 2024. Part of that work is bringing education on mental health. I was able to participate by sharing my story with them for their September program, “Racecar Drivers Feel Anxiety Too,” which is a special program meant to normalize that it’s okay to be scared or anxious, and it’s up to you on what you do with that feeling.
If sharing his experience can help even one person feel a little less alone in what they’re going through, then it’s all worth it.
From behind the wheel to now impacting lives around the world — we couldn’t be more proud
