Guy’s security camera catches kid tearing it up on his driveway almost every day, so he decides to do something about it.
For anyone who can't open the Twitter page or play the video, this kid on a small bike goes along with the adult dog-walker each day and makes a habit of doing a diversionary loop around this neighbor's big concrete driveway. The owner sees it on his security system camera, so he paints the kid a cool track on the driveway, then the thing goes viral and even NASCAR gets involved.
Thread unroll, see: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1299074699385663488.html
Public plea: I’m trying to find the guy that has the driveway, and the kid. I’ve got NASCAR drivers who want to send them stuff! If you know who they are, please DM me.
UPDATE: All of you are amazing! Thanks to your input I’ve identified the guy in the video with the driveway. I’ve reached out to him directly, he wants to remain anonymous. One person found the driveway- it’s in Salt Lake City. Still looking for the kid, NASCAR has gifts for him!

SECOND UPDATE: Neighbor just sent me this photo taken about an hour ago. Guy is still doing the chalk track, and the kid was there riding it!

THIRD UPDATE: Video is by @CanyonChasers, with the goal of improving rider education.
FOURTH UPDATE: Have finally identified the guy in the video and the kid on the bike, and connected them with the amazing @KurtBusch. Kurt’s going to be sending then some cool racing stuff! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
FIFTH UPDATE: @NASCAR Driver @JHNemechek has some great racing stuff he wants to send the homeowner and the kid too! Connecting them now.

SIXTH UPDATE: Superstar race car driver and all-around nice guy @ClayMillican is sending the homeowner and kid some racing items too. Thank you Clay!

SEVENTH UPDATE: Shift Auto Society @SHIFTSOCIETYFUN, a private country club for auto enthusiasts (how cool is that?!), wants to send the guy in the video and the kid some stuff too. Making it happen now.

EIGHTH UPDATE: You’re looking at the “garage” of a future NASCAR driver or motocross champion. The kid’s father sent me this photo of his son’s gear standing by at home, ready for the boy’s next roll around the neighborhood and on the chalk racetrack. Start your engines!

NINTH UPDATE: CBS News reveals homeowner and kid- meet Dave and Quinn, and here’s there story!
