Off The Racing Line is the podcast where motorsports gets real. Forget the polished, perfect moments. We dive into the chaos, the mistakes, and the breakthroughs that happen when you stray from the racing line. From racing to HPDE and instructing, host Carlos Espitia sits down with racers and coaches who’ve been there, done that, and lived to tell the story. We’re talking about the unfiltered side of racing—the lessons you don’t hear about in the driver’s meeting. It’s not just about speed; it’s about the hard truth of pushing limits and facing the unexpected. Get ready for real conversations

Life on Borrowed Time: How Cancer Redefined My Racing Career and Legacy — with Jesse Gröse

EP19 - Life on Borrowed Time: Racing, Leukemia and Legacy with Jesse Gröse.

In this powerful episode, professional racer and coach Jesse Gröse shares how a diagnosis of T-Cell Leukemia in his early 30s changed everything — his health, his career, and his purpose. From hospital beds to podiums, Jesse’s story is a masterclass in perseverance, resilience, and rediscovering what truly matters.

Before cancer, Jesse had already competed in over 100 different race cars across 20+ manufacturers, including some of the world’s most demanding prototype chassis — from Radical, Ligier, Wolf, and LMP3 platforms — testing the limits at legendary tracks like Laguna Seca, Sebring, and Thunderhill.

But this isn’t just a racing story — it’s a human one.

It’s about what happens when the pursuit of speed collides with survival.

If you or someone you love is fighting cancer, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not alone.
