Racer Profile - Drew Dilbeck

 In an effort to get to know some of the new additions to the FRL in the past year, we will be interviewing some of the drivers in an effort to get them know them a bit better. 

 Today we will talk with Drew Dilbeck. This young driver is a man of few words on the track typically. Refreshingly, he is a man of few words off the track as well. No showboating, no smack talk. No drivers license either... Still, he practices hard, brings his A-game to the track and races clean. Let's find out a bit more about this FRL driver.

FRL: Besides being an up-and-coming player on the track, tell us who Drew Dilbeck is? 

Drew: Drew Dilbeck is a young man who really enjoys racing. 

FRL: What has drawn you to racing?

Drew: Well from a young age I have always liked to race. I would always try to convince my friends and family to run around the house with me.


FRL: What is your favorite kind of racing, or series, to follow? 

Drew: I have always been fond of watching the NASCAR series. I always enjoy a good NASCAR race. 


FRL: You debuted in the FRL's FEC series last year, what was that experience like coming into an  online racing series like ours? 

Drew: It was much more difficult than I was expecting. I didn't realize that we had such a high level of competition in the FRL. If I had known, I would have prepared more. 


FRL: Since establishing yourself in the FRL, what other online pursuits do you have? 

Drew: Well, I would like to win at least one FRL race. If I can acheive that, I will feel like I have accomplished something.


FRL: You finished your first full season of racing with an impressive 6th place finish overall out of 15 drivers, what are your goals going forward in the FRL? 

Drew: Like I said, I'd love to win an FRL race. I've been asked to join the team at Maestri Brothers Racing, which I was happy to accept. Now that I'm driving with MBR, I fell like I should be able to move up at least one more average position in the FRL.

 As stated, a man of few words. But if you watch him on the track and listen to him online, you do get a sense of the poise and developing control in this young driver. He's fun to watch and to race against.

 Join us again for another interview, coming soon.
