I'm sorry but 12 years old is too young for someone to be driving a race car especially a sprint car!
Last year at Bubba Raceway Park a young girl (I believe 15) was killed in her first race there. You would think Bubba Clem would have looked at that situation and pulled his son off the track but many parents think it could never happen to my child. Well, yes it can and does! Young kids should not be racing in full size race cars until the age of 16 at the earliest. It's OK when things are going well on the race track but when a youngster crashes or gets hurt then it is a different story with many parents. Everyone now a days is ready to sue at the drop of a hat. Every parent believes their son or daughter is the next Jeff Gordon or Kyle Larson but as we all know they are few and far between. Enjoy just being a kid first and then if you are 16 and still want to race go for it.
