DRIVE celebrates the culture of cars, taking our audience on the road, to the races, to the factories, to the studios—and to other places car lovers have always wanted to go, but never had the chance. We built DRIVE to be the automotive brand we've always wanted: To create hit shows no one else was making. To cultivate a relationship with our audience that mirrored the way we, as car enthusiasts, wanted to be courted. To tell the stories, go to the places, and show things no one else would show. And to make it available in ways we wanted — with access no traditional media brand could deliver. For over five years, the team that's come together to create DRIVE has lived, breathed, and loved sharing our passion for automotive with the online world. We've had many victories. Some failures. But one thing is clear: We are the children of the digital world and we know how to attract, impact and own the hearts, minds, and passion of our fans. Whether we're writing for blogs, posting in forums, sharing photos via social media, or delivering stories in video, our team gets this world like no one else.

Cheap racing isn't new, but organized events like LeMons and CHUMP CAR have turned into multi-million dollar operations, and made endurance racin more accessible than ever. These organizations recognized the demand for cheap, safe, and competitive racing -- so they made a business out of it.

Can real racing theories of sponorship, cheating, and strategy be applied to this cheap form of racing? /DRIVE finds out by going to the 24 Hours of VIR as part of the CHUMP CAR World Series.
