Saturday Night Lights is streaming now on VIZIO WatchFree+ — Full Throttle TV.
Jesus Quintero is in it, and trust us when we say: you're going to want to watch from the beginning.

This Is More Than a Race
Because when you sit down to watch Saturday Night Lights, you need to understand what you're actually witnessing.
You're not just watching a reality competition show. You're not just watching young drivers battle for position on a track. You're watching something that doesn't come along very often — a story so raw, so human, and so deeply real that no script writer could have dreamed it up.
You're watching a 20-year-old young man who built everything from nothing. No sponsor. No safety net. No industry connections greasing the wheels for him.
Just a kid who fell in love with racing, poured every dollar he earned from work straight into his car, and refused to let the sport's financial barriers become the end of his story. While other competitors showed up with teams and resources behind them, Jesus showed up with something money can't buy — an unbreakable will and a natural gift that turns heads every single time he gets behind the wheel.
You're watching a brother who turned the deepest grief of his life into the greatest fuel of his career. When Jesus lost his sister, the world went quiet for him. The track went cold.
For a full year, the sport that had defined him felt unreachable — because what's the point of crossing a finish line when the person you most wanted to celebrate with is no longer there? That year away wasn't weakness. It was survival. It was a young man learning how to carry an unbearable weight and still find a reason to stand up.
And when he came back — he came back changed. He came back with something in his eyes that wasn't there before. A quiet intensity. A purpose that goes so far beyond competition that it almost doesn't belong in the same conversation as lap times and pit stops.
Every time Jesus straps into that car now, his sister is with him. Not metaphorically. Not as a motivational phrase painted on the side of a bumper. She is genuinely, spiritually present in every corner he takes, every move he makes on the track, every moment he refuses to give up when the race gets hard. He made a promise — maybe not out loud, maybe not to anyone but himself — that her memory would never be wasted. That her loss would become legacy.
He races for her. Full stop.
Now it's time for the world to see it.
Watch him carry his sister's memory around every corner. Watch him make his family's sacrifices mean something. Watch him race for every Latino kid who never saw themselves in this sport and needed someone to show them the way. Watch him compete with everything he has, every single time, because he knows better than anyone that nothing in this life is guaranteed — and every lap is a gift.
His name is Jesus Quintero.
He drives for the 72 Racing Team.
He is 20 years old.
And he is just getting started.
