Woodbridge 8-year Old Feels a Need for Speed

Race car driver Andrew Molleur is the youngest winner at Waterford Speedbowl in the track's 61-year history.

While most 8-year olds are playing video games and soccer, Woodbridge's Andrew Molleur has another pastime - he's driving Bandolero race cars and winning. The Beecher Road School student started with Go-Karts and Quarter-Midgets in 2009 and just graduated to the Bandolero.

“I love to race and I plan to do it a while,” Andrew said. “I think there are two reasons why I have had success and why I’ll always have success. I practice a lot and my father gives me good cars.”
