A 6-year-old's wish of racing in a quarter-midget car came true thanks to Make-A-Wish.

Eli Frohmiller has a degenerative muscle disorder, which has caused him to gradually lose control of his muscles below the waist.

He was gifted by Make-A-Wish of Middle Tennessee with a quarter midget car with pedals specially designed to allow him to steer his own car.

Eli's parents said he's all business on the track. His family cheered him on from the stands as he raced and won. 

Make-A-Wish also provided Eli's family with a trailer to transport his car as well as the equipment and safety gear he needs.
