Dinner(s) with Ben Keating | Dinner with Racers S6 Ep. 5 | MotorTrend & Continental Tire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhIhgNXWQ9o

Ben Keating is widely known in professional sportscar racing as the fastest “amateur ranked” driver in the sport. As the largest car dealer in Texas, Ben’s competitive drive is without question. Buying his first dealership on all-debt in 2002, in just two decades he’s expanded to over 30 and counting, which may give some insight into his on-track prowess as well. Despite starting later in life, Ben’s professional racing accolades include winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona, and a World Endurance Championship. Nothing comes easy though, and Ben’s path has included challenges with addiction, family tragedies, and an absolute fearlessness to take on debt.
