Unleashing a New Competitive Spirit: Steve Austin's Thrilling Foray into Off-Road Racing

Discovering a New Adrenaline Rush

After years of captivating audiences in the world of professional wrestling, Steve Austin has discovered a new outlet for his competitive spirit – the exhilarating world of off-road racing. In a recent interview, the WWE icon revealed his newfound love for the sport, describing it as a refreshing departure from his previous endeavors. "I found racing side-by-side, and I've been doing it for about a year and a half, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it," Austin shared. "It's just so different from anything I've ever done because I've been driving recreationally, but when you start racing and pushing the machine to its limits and pushing yourself to your limits, which you don't know that you have yet because you've never driven at 100%, it takes a while to learn how to do that."

Embracing the Challenges of a Rookie Season

Despite his illustrious career in professional wrestling, Austin approached his foray into off-road racing with the same humility and determination that made him a legend in the ring. "So I equate it with when I first started wrestling, I sucked, and when I first started driving these things, I won't say I sucked, but I had a lot to learn," he admitted. The former WWE superstar quickly realized that the key to success in this new sport was to master the art of driving slowly before pushing the limits. "The biggest mistake you make in pro wrestling is trying to do everything too fast. In racing, they'll tell you, and it didn't make sense to me until I ran a few races, in order to drive fast, you must first learn to drive slow, and I couldn't believe it took me this long to find the sport that I found."

Embracing the Competitive Spirit of a Rookie

Despite his age and experience, Austin embraced the role of a rookie in the off-road racing scene. In a remarkable feat, the 58-year-old was named the Rookie of the Year in the VORRA federation, proving that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing one's passions. "So I think I was the oldest fucking rookie to ever win that award," Austin proudly proclaimed. The former WWE champion found himself competing against a diverse field, including younger drivers who were born with the racing DNA. "I'm competing against…there's people my age, but there's also people that are half my age. One of my arch rivals last year was a 14-year-old girl. She can drive her ass off. So when you're born out there and you get that DNA in you, them kids are fast."
