Ironically, as an ad exec in hollywood (presumably with Straight Outta Compton as a client?), he probably got more attention to that movie doing what he did than if he had simply won the race. Other than hardcore race-fans, nobody had ever heard of Drissi before today probably (I hadn't, and I watch a decent amount of racing).
But now he'll probably make it onto Sportscenter or something.
Ad Exec: Mission Accomplished. Race Driver: Fail
