Led by Aiden Darné VP and Global Head of Shutterstock Studios - formerly a VICE

"Racing fans know just how thrilling it is to watch a race live from the
stands, and it was fantastic to bring that electrifying atmosphere to viewers
worldwide," said Darné. "We are so excited that our first entry into the
high-demand world of documentary storytelling is in partnership with Carvana.
It's been amazing to capture the intimate moments of the career switch of
Jimmie Johnson – one of the greatest race car drivers of all time."
