This week, ahead of the start of the 2020 V8 supercars series, we caught up with young driver Todd Hazelwood.Hazelwood will race in the #14 for Brad Jones Racing in 2020 and it will be his third year in the competition.He is widely considered one of the most promising motorsport prospects in the country but certainly had to work hard to get where he is today.Hazelwood spent day and night fundraising for his motorsport dreams as a kid, selling Freddo Frogs at school and running sausage sizzles for years on end.We spoke about how he got the racing bug early in his life at barely 6 months old, how much time he had to dedicate to fundraising as a kid who just loved to race and we spoke about that spectacular 2017 crash at Sandown where his main concern was just getting straight back for the next race.Remember, if you enjoy this episode of the podcast, leave a rating and a comment on iTunes and subscribe to make sure you're the first to catch our episodes with some of the best up and coming athletes in Australia.For more Sporting News Australia content, head over to www.sportingnews.com/au/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Subscribe to SN's YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2BQiI7pCatch up with Sporting News Australia on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2zHopmOFollow @SportingNewsAU on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2FST99MLike Sporting News Australia on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2KRB4rB/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.
