Sandman is a Native American competitor who made waves in the Steel Ball Run by doing something radical—he chose to run the entire race on foot instead of using a horse like everyone else. It's a bold move that quickly established him as one of the most formidable and unconventional racers in the competition.
His motivation is deeply personal. He's become something of an outsider within his own tribe for adopting aspects of white American culture, but he sees the Steel Ball Run's prize money as his shot at redemption—a way to reclaim his ancestors' land and secure his people's future. It's the kind of high-stakes goal that drives everything he does in the race.
