Description
IndyCar team owner Sam Schmidt never lets off the gas when it comes to achieving a goal.
Now, he's the driving force behind a new state-of-the-art rehab center in Indianapolis to help people with paralysis.
"I like results, and I like results quickly, and with this type of therapy, you see results immediately. You see miracles happening every day," Schmidt said. "So that motivates me and keeps me going every day to see that."
It's a personal mission. A crash in 2000 left the former IndyCar driver paralyzed from the neck down. But he said that devastating day shaped his destiny.
"I've come to realize that racing was my passion in life, but DRIVEN is really the purpose," Schmidt said.
