Cliff Champion won the Daytona 500 with Buddy Baker. He stood atop NASCAR’s biggest stage, a winner. But in the years that followed, he found himself drifting from race team to race team, from one lonely hotel room to the next. Then one day, he came home after a win and realized… he had no one to share it with. That’s when everything began to fall apart.

  • What moment in a Red Lobster parking lot changed how Cliff saw his own life?
  • How did a phone call at 10:30 PM from Lake Speed literally save him?
  • And what made a hardened racer finally believe there might be something more?

This is not just a racing story. It’s about what happens when the cheers fade, the garage empties, and the silence sets in. Cliff’s story is raw, vulnerable, and above all—real. And his path back from the edge is something every fan, every person, needs to hear. You never know who’s hurting. If you’re in a dark place, help is out there.
