I don't see a problem with it assuming there's a verifiable record of experience.
The only possible issue that I see is related to the statement below.

Nothing specific to your son. I suspect the argument is that kids don't necessarily understand consequences (whether that be the cost of replacing their/your car several people having to replace their cars or worse yet, themselves or multiple people being injured). A kid could drive like they are in a video game because of that, but in real life, there's no reset button or extra life like there is in a video game
I don't think his comment was about your boy specifically, but was about the potential for "some/any kid" to cause problems because of a lack of experience and/or understanding of the possible consequences.
It sounds like your boy has 5 years of experience behind the wheel with most of those probably being wheel to wheel racing. He's probably fine.
