Most teenagers have to take driver's education before they can drive. Brad Coleman's experience was a little different. "I sat in the training car with the instructor," Brad told Extra. "I was getting the seat and mirrors adjusted when the instructor said, 'Son, you can't sit like a race car driver. You are going to need to sit up straight so you can drive the car.'" Brad's friend was in the car and started laughing. Brad, who is now 19, is a professional race car driver. He started racing at 14--two years before his driving lesson!
