Million Begins New Full-Time Role at The Thermal Club
October 2023 - Thermal, CA
A place which once existed as a ‘dream’ employment destination throughout my up-and-coming years as a racing driver and motorsport professional is now a reality.
Starting officially in October, I will be full-time at The Thermal Club as a driver coach, lead-follow driver, pit lane operator, and trackside billing. I’m extremely excited to begin meeting and working with the passionate members and staff at this one-of-a-kind facility.
It was an opportunity that came up very quickly and unexpectedly. Having finished my college degree last year and been actively looking for a work experience to pair alongside my pursuit as a professional driver, this couldn’t have been better timing.
The demands of the position are unique, challenging, and encouraging for the future growth of the club as well as my career. It required a credentialed racing driver with industry knowledge and a hardened work ethic for long days in various capacities of both driving and operational skills. Despite how far I’ve come in the industry, I still have a lot of room for growth in all areas and it will challenge (and teach) me more than I’ve yet learned in my career. I’m immensely grateful to be the candidate chosen for the position and aim to perform at the level expected. It has already been a rewarding few months of meeting some incredible people and settling into my role.
I hope to share more of my experiences soon.
