This in-depth
interview with professional race car driver
Alexander Koreiba offers an honest and inspiring look at what it really takes to make it in motorsports without the traditional backing or early start.
Filmed in Daytona Beach at Hanksters Hot Rods during the
Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend, the conversation covers Koreiba’s unconventional rise through the ranks. From late beginnings in karting to creative ways of gaining seat time and exposure, his story highlights the determination required to turn a passion for racing into a professional career.
Koreiba discusses the constant hustle of finding sponsors, the difficulty of locking down a full-time ride, and the mental challenges that come with chasing success in such a competitive field. He also reflects on key moments in his career, including racing in IMSA’s Prototype Challenge and collaborating with names like Cody Jones (Dude Perfect) and Keanu Reeves on a racing project.
Rather than following the typical pipeline, Koreiba built his path through persistence, self-initiative, and a belief in his own potential. His journey is a compelling reminder that with enough drive, there’s more than one way to break into the racing world.
