SEATTLE — Blake Upton just advanced from Formula 4 to Formula 3 racing, is finishing up his senior year of high school in Sammamish, and also takes part in Racing for Good, a charity that reaches out to local children's hospitals wherever they're racing. Through Racing for Good, drivers visit children in local hospitals, invite patients to the track as VIPs, fundraise and use their platform to raise awareness. Upton and his mother Mary Upton join New Day Northwest to talk about how Blake manages to juggle it all, and the positive impact he's making on every community he visits.
