What's up, you guys, it's Kaeden. I'm here to talk a little bit about youth influence and why it matters so much in racing. So, I actually have a story. I went to a family reunion over the week, and I got to see a couple of my family members and some people I didn't know. This kid came up to me, and he asked me for my autograph very politely. He was like, "Hey, can I get your autograph? So, you know, obviously, I gave it to him. I signed his back, his arm sleeves, everything like that, and came to find out he won't let his mother say anything to him but "Kaeden." He has to be called Kaeden. He's walking around the house screaming, I'm number 19, I'm Kaeden Ballos, and the impact that I've had on this kid is unreal. Like, he wants to start racing, he wants to start all this stuff just by meeting me, and I think that goes to show, you know, the youth is very, very, very moldable, and if you can mold them in the right way, it can help generations to come. You know, we need more youth racers; we need more people interested in racing overall. So I really appreciate, you know, the youth generation and how we can impact them. And I think everybody should kind of take that into account, you know, and just something similar to me that happened. I hope someone could take that same idea and apply it to other people around the world, because you know, we need more youth racers. Where are they going? We need them. See you guys,
