At the 2025 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, we were so fortunate to catch up with the legendary Sam Schmidt! Founder of Sam Schmidt Motorsports, now known as Arrow McLaren SP, Schmidt has won a number of prestigious races, including the famous Indianapolis 500 in 1999. After his racing injury in January of 2000, Schmidt sustained a spinal cord injury that resulted in quadriplegia. Since then, he still drives cars at over 200 mph, thanks to motion sensing technology. He continues to be involved in the community, and created the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center.
