From Sim To Reality! - Meet Presley Sorah

Presley is a 20-year-old professional racecar driver from Cambridge City, Indiana. As most young racers do, Presley began his racing career in a go-kart at the age of 10. After years of experience in karting at venues such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana State Fairgrounds, and Purdue University, Sorah began racing competitively in the world of iRacing eSports. Competing with some of the biggest names in motorsports, a very successful bout in sim racing led to new career opportunities the following year. 2023 was a year of character building for Presley, as he tackled multiple disciplines of real-world racing in and around Indiana. Between the Champion Racing Association (CRA) Late Model Sportsman Series and the Ultimate Heart of America Series, he logged starts and valuable experience behind the wheel of asphalt and dirt late models. Building off of his 2023 experience, Presley made the step up to the ARCA Menards Series in 2024. With a test session at the Daytona International Speedway in January, and multiple starts already under his belt in the ARCA platform, Sorah looks to continue his climb up the NASCAR ranks in the coming years.
Outside of the car, Presley works the at-track social media accounts for multiple drivers/teams. He can occasionally be found atop the spotters stand as well. Aside from racing, Presley is a paraprofessional at the Western Wayne Elementary School, in the same school system that he graduated from in 2022. Sorah also works part-time at the Golay Community Center in Cambridge City.

My name is Presley Sorah. I drive the number 12 for fast track racing and my sponsors are ‪@badboymowers‬, OEM, ‪@maconisetupshop‬ , Tatanka Sauce and ‪@SkyboxNASCAR‬ Podcast. I started out go karts at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway back when I was ten and I transitioned into iRacing and now I'm here doing the real thing and Arca.
Yeah, iRacing helps a ton because it really helps with the visuals of the racetrack. And like for instance, when I tested down Daytona in January, I felt like I'd already done it before when I rolled out to Pit Road. So it just creates a much more natural learning curve and almost kind of gives you a head start compared to going after some of the other rinks.
And, you know, it's always more beneficial to be in a real car. But if you can't be in a real car, then the next best thing is iRacing. My goal is to learn as much as I can and get better for when I get to do this full time, hopefully in the near future. And I'm just learning a lot with every start and it's really tough to compete with these guys and do it every week.
But I'm trying to learn the most I can and just be a sponge for information so I can be the best prepare for my next race. Just keep at it. I mean, I'm from it. I'm from a town of 1800 people, and people like me aren't really supposed to make it in theory, but I just keep at it.
And even if people tell you, people tell you it's your whole life that you can't make it. And I'm living carefree and let's go racing.
