Learn twelve things about race-car driver, Josh Hobson.

We recently caught up with Josh Hobson who stars in the upcoming PBS documentary 'Racing Dreams' and he told us twelve things about himself that you might not have known.

I won a coloring contest in 1st grade and haven't won one since.
I love to talk - especially if it is about racing. I encourage everyone to check out my website.
I have never been to prom and I plan on missing it my senior year for a race. I have been asked to prom every year but the event always falls on the day of a race.
I am the Student Council President at Birch Run High School for my third straight year.
I am a captain for my school's varsity wrestling team and have earned my spot in the top five for most wins in school history.
I set high goals for myself on and off the racetrack and pursue them passionately.
Selena Gomez and I will probably get married one day even though we haven't met before.
I won my first ever race at Houghton Lake Kart Speedway. When I was 8 years old, I raced against people twice my age and that was the determining factor behind putting me in the National Series.
Even though being followed by a film crew at 12 years old made me feel like Tom Cruise, the time after the film has been the best part about 'Racing Dreams.' Meeting new people, traveling across the country for film premieres, and speaking with kids who share the same aspirations as me behind the wheel, has been a dream come true.
My favorite number is 10 because my name is composed of 10 letters and J, the first letter of my name, is the 10th letter in the alphabet.
Relationships are not a status thing to me. I have only been in a relationship once and I am currently single.
I attribute most of my success on positivity. I believe that if you think and act positive, positive situations are likely to occur.
