Matt DiBenedetto, NASCAR driver

You know it's a bad day at the Daytona 500 when your spotter is heard on the radio saying 'Oh God, no Jesus!' But that's where NASCAR driver Matt DiBenedetto found himself after getting into a 21-car crash in a race he'd led until the last 10 laps. Matt is a first generation racer who defies odds in a sport where most drivers grow up in the racing culture. Matt didn't and being the perpetual underdog fuels his raw passion.
