EP23 – At just 20 years old, Westin Workman is already one of the most formidable rising stars in American motorsports.
A 2x national karting champion, Spec MX-5 scholarship winner, 2023 Mazda MX-5 Cup Shootout champion, 2024 MX-5 Cup Rookie of the Year, and 2025 Toyota GR Cup Champion, Westin is proving, fast, that he’s built for the top.
Flying in from NC, he joins us trackside at Homestead-Miami Speedway to break down the mindset, discipline, and relentless drive required to compete at the highest levels while also being a full-time college student in North Carolina.
We cover:
• What it takes to win championships in MX-5 Cup & GR Cup
• His path into the Toyota Driver Development Program
• Why low-horsepower cars make the best drivers
• Training, pressure, sponsors, and the business of becoming a pro
• What commitment looks like at this level
• Balancing student life with a pro racing career
• The real emotional grind behind chasing a factory seat
Westin’s story isn’t hype, it’s a blueprint for anyone chasing excellence in motorsports.
If you want to understand what “built to win” really looks like… this is the episode.
