Pushing through your comfort zone is already a key part of sports -- but what does that mean when you travel to another country in pursuit of your dreams? In the USF Pro Championships, drivers come from all over the world to try and work their way up the American open-wheel ladder while in sports like soccer and basketball, trying to hone your craft in a different environment is the norm for both amateurs and professionals alike. This week on In the Making we speak with TJ Speed Motorsport drivers Francesco Pizzi and Lirim Zendeli, both of whom are making their North American debut this season in USF Pro 2000, alongside Bryan Gilbert, defensive midfielder for Macclesfield FC Junior Academy in England. After in a one on one interview, 2022 USF Pro 2000 champion and British driver Louis Foster speaks on last year's success, expectations for this season in Indy NXT as part of Andretti Autosport, the difference between Europeon and American racing and more. "In The Making" is hosted by Emilee Smarr, a graduate of Clemson University in Sports Communication. Smarr is currently a journalist for The Palm Beach Post covering high school sports for Palm Beach County and South Florida.
