Center, which treats children with cancer. The race was started by John and Nicky Webb, owners of the speedway. John Webb lost his dad to cancer and knew he wanted to make a difference in children’s lives. Oliva says the race is one of his favorites.

“It’s the biggest race for me because I get to see all the kids that have or have had cancer,” said Oliva. “I just love seeing them when they come up to me, and their faces light up when they realize that I had cancer, and they see the things that I’m doing now.”

Oliva says a lot of his determination and fight come from his years as a Moore High Lion. While at MHS, he played on the football team and still remembers the entire high school experience as a great one.

“The sense of family goes way beyond just the football team,” said Oliva. “All the other teams, the band, the principals, the teachers all make it feel like one big family.”

As Oliva works a full-time job, he says racing and helping kids battle cancer is at the center of everything he does for the near future.

“Yeah, it would be great to do this as a career,” said Oliva. “But that takes a lot of money, and so I’m ok with how we’re doing it now. The important thing is that I get to help spread awareness and help raise money for these kids. And if you can change one kid’s life, maybe give that kid a chance to live and go live his dream, that’s worth all the work.”
