Roy Fulmer Back of the Field Start at Sonoma 2019

It’s always fun to watch someone who is usually a front runner have to start from the rear of the field. At Sonoma Raceway in June, Teen Mazda Challenge driver Roy Fulmer IV, had a lot of cars to fight through to make his way to the front. The first few laps are frantic and a whole lot of fun to watch.

Woo! Who needs coffee after watching THIS?! Tight lines, good braking and balls out racing.

The saying “ that”s gonna leave a mark” certainly applies here lol 😂

Super aggressive what did he hit like 5 cars in the first lap that yellow one he just plowed into used him to make the corner way too far back to take the line hit the rear bumper to spin him and make the spin pass look at the power difference too out pulls these cars out of the draft I want his engine builder catches cars out of the draft like they are standing still +40 hp great braking zones though people waving him by so he does not hit them #51 after getting bumped and pushed by him waves him by at 7:30

So somebody help me out on this. He's passing other cars like they're standing still, but he's also juking around so quickly that I can't help but think he'd crash into someone in his blind spot if they were trying to pass *HIM*. Is his situational awareness just that good or is he frantically checking his mirrors the whole time? How can he know that nobody is trying to pass him when he swerves around like that?
Amazing video, though. Vroom vroom

See the rear-view mirror he has? Even with the camera being at a way different position than the mirror's adjusted for, it has a pretty complete view of what's behind - from the driver's seat, which is closer to the mirror, he has a panoramic view of the cars behind him. Between that and the side-mirrors, I'm sure he has near-perfect awareness of where neighboring cars are.
