Local teen is a rising IndyCar driver


LEXINGTON - Ryan Norman is back in the state of Ohio.
He'll be where the roar of race cars rises up from the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, near Mansfield this weekend.
Quenching his need for speed in the Indy Lights championship here.
He's already a champion. And it looks like sky's the limit for this force-to-be-reckoned-with on four fast wheels.
19-year-old Ryan Norman drove his first race car at 15.

"I literally think about it every second of every single day, 24-7," he tells WKYC Channel 3's Dawn Kendrick.  "When I wake up it's like the first thing I think about. It's pretty much my whole entire life."
Last year, Norman won the Formula Atlantic series. As a champion, he caught the eye of Andretti Autosport and Michael Andretti tapped this teenager from Aurora to be one of four Andretti Indy Light racers.
