From Joyriding at 13 to 5-Time Trans-Am Champ Paul Gentilozzi | Racers Unchained

This week on Racers Unchained, Paul Tracy sits down with legendary Trans-Am icon Paul Gentilozzi for one of the wildest origin stories you’ll ever hear. Before the championships.
Before the Daytona wins.
Before the Hall of Fame. There were midnight “borrowed” cars, 4-speed joyrides, and a 13-year-old kid who couldn’t wait to drive anything with wheels. Paul Gentilozzi takes us through: * The rainy race where he grabbed the lead… only to spin multiple times and end up six feet off the ground in a tree 🌧️🌲 * The heated on-track rivalry (and championship battle) with Tommy Kendall * Why being “just a driver” matters more than labels * His early drag racing days at Onondaga Dragway * The moment his dad caught him red-handed at McDonald’s with shoe-polish race numbers on the windshield With:
🏆 5 Trans-Am championships
🏁 31 Trans-Am wins
🏎 11 IMSA victories
⏱ 2 overall wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona
🏅 Hall of Fame Trans-Am status Paul Gentilozzi proves that racing greatness isn’t manufactured — it’s wired in from the beginning. Raw stories. Real rivalries. Zero filters. This is Racers Unchained. #RacersUnchained
