Mechanical engineer from Orlando competes in Discovery’s car chase series

“It’s a high-intensity pursuit chase that I don’t think you’ll see anywhere else except in a real-life chase,” he said.

In this eight-episode series hosted by Michelle Rodriguez of “Fast & Furious” fame, 24 drivers — from drift champions to street racers and YouTubers — strive to outmaneuver the competition. Described as “part ‘Baby Driver,’ part ‘Grand Theft Auto,’” participants use their own vehicles to evade pursuers and escape the compound with a cash prize in this made-for-TV car chase.

Mogensen, 27, is originally from Palm Harbor but moved to the Orlando area in 2012 to earn his degree in mechanical engineering from University of Central Florida.
