GHIT 0190: Mike Skeen is our Guest

GHIT 0190:  Mike Skeen is our Guest We were honored to have Mike Skeen join our podcast as a guest.  He is an amazing driver and has seemingly competed in every type of driving we can think of and it seems he usually wins.  We go over a bit about how he progressed and what he is currently racing, as well as a great discussion on the skills and abilities that can separate a great driver from a typical amateur driver.  He has a talent for explaining racing that rivals his driving skills.  I think Vicki and Jen have now added working with Mike as a coach at a track.  Bill was already on board that train long before the episode.  We are pretty sure Ben may even look to join us for that. On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we have our first ever series of storytime questions with Ben, Vicki, and Jennifer where we try out two new fast and furious storytime questions.
