As he stood in victory lane at Indiana’s Lincoln Park Speedway, Cale Thomas gazed at an autographed fighter pilot’s helmet. When Thomas speaks of his first days behind the wheel he observes, “I think most people who are still racing as an adult had some success early on.”.

Then other races popped up like the first Maverick race at Lincoln Park.”. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty, I had to pass Bill Balog to win that race.

Without hesitation Thomas said, “My dream is to race with the World of Outlaws.
