There is a 13-year-old Battle Creek kid who is chasing his dreams of racing professionally and has already conquered mini wedge races and has now upgraded to a champ car. Jacob Holmes is your average kid who’s living an average passion for kids his age, as he spends his weekends in his champ car, which they say can reach up to 90 mph. The wild thing is this kid is in his rookie season, and he just placed 3rd in a race over the weekend, gaining his first podium appearance. But one thing that sets him apart from other teenagers is his passion to get back to the community. If you've seen my race car, you may have noticed the Mexican American flag, my MMIP decals, and several sponsors who are active in Battle Creek's Latino community.
