The dynamic duo shared their inspiring journeys and personal stories of overcoming obstacles, determination, and pursuing dreams against the odds.

Held at the OSUI-IT campus in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, the event brought together students from various fields of study to hear firsthand from Farmtruck and AZN about their careers in the world of street racing, their experiences in the entertainment industry, and the importance of perseverance and staying true to one’s passions.
