How many times have you told your teenager not to text and drive? What would you say about livestreaming to Facebook Live and driving -at 185 mph? If you were the parents of 19-year-old racecar driver Devin O’Connell, you would probably say something like: “Good thinking, son.” When O’Connell takes to the track at Claremont […]
