M1 Trackside

In the latest episode of Trackside, we dive into the remarkable journey of Craig Bennet, the owner of RM Motorsports in Wixom, MI, specializing in the meticulous restoration of vintage race cars, historic gems, high-end, and street rod cars. Growing up, Craig was immersed in the world of racing. At just 18 years old, his father entered him in the Detroit Grand Prix Trans AM racing series, ultimately starting up his professional racing career. After a catastrophic crash in 2016, Bennet's racing career took a turn towards retirement. Now recovered, we sit down with Craig and reflect on how his accident changed his racing career, but never diminished his passion for motorsports.
