David Wilson's journey from Virginia Tech Engineering student to NASCAR wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. After a tough decision to leave the Corps of Cadets, he later abandoned the comfort of corporate America and moved across the country for a job with Toyota Racing Development (TRD). 35 years later, Wilson has grown the once small racing garage for Toyotas into a world-class racing company and will be retiring from his role as president of TRD at the end of 2024. Watch as he reflects on the influences of Virginia Tech, the Army, and his powerful team.
