In this episode of Racers Unchained with Paul Tracy, Bill Auberlen walks through a career that began in Southern California motocross, jumped straight into endurance racing, and turned into a 30-year factory relationship with BMW.

No, this isn’t a joke... Longtime GM factory driver, Kelly Collins tells Paul the wild story about how he went from a kid on a motocross bike to off-road to racing school instructor to the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Collins unlikely journey to the top of racing featured brushes with Juan Pablo Montoya and Bryan Herta, but maybe not the way you’re imagining. Collins would go on to spend four seasons driving to numerous race wins for Corvette and a famous runner-up finish with Dale Earnhardt, Sr and Jr as co-drivers in the GTS class at the 2000 Rolex 24 At Daytona.
