• How did you get your start
or interest in racing?
|
"Back in 2000, Braxton had hurt his shoulder and
couldn't drive, so they asked me if I wanted to. I drove it to a
last place finish that night." |
|
• What do you remember about
your first race?
|
I started in the back
since I had never run there before. I think it only took a few
laps to put me a lap down. Daddy told me after the race that I
had done well. I gotten out of the way of the faster cars, just
like I should've. Even being slow, he made me feel good about
it." |
|
• What is your favorite memory or moment in racing?
|
"The best feeling I've had in a race car is my
first race with a new engine in the UCAR's last year (2005). I finished third and
realized that my prior poor finishes weren't all my fault. That
same night was the first night my two nephews had ever gone to the
track. It was fun." |
|
• What is your least
favorite memory or moment in racing?
|
"My first race in the UCAR's last year (2005) with the
original engine. As soon as the green waved, I knew we were in
trouble, because we had chosen the wrong type engine. I went a lap
down half way through that race." |
|
|
• What is your funniest
memory or moment in racing?
|
"I had to take Brad and Daddy's car to the track
to practice (2005). Neither
one of them could make it, so Mama went. She knew it was the first
time that I had been in a Modified Street Stock in about four
years. (Laughing) She was
timing the car with one hand and had the other one over the top of
head and her eyes. Every time I got loose, she would squat down
like she was trying to drive me out it. I was laughing my tail off
in the car and she was worried sick." |
|
• What is your scariest
memory or moment in racing?
|
"I was on the outside of a guy when he broke his
tie-rod and slammed into me and I hit the wall. I wasn't expecting
it, so I guess that's my biggest scare so far. Brad's airborne wreck
last year was scary, too." |
|
|
• What is the maddest that
you have ever been in racing?
|
"I got real mad at Daddy one time. [#3] kept cutting him off and Dad wouldn't keep his nose under
[#3]. He let that happen about four times and never did
get past him." |
|
• Why did you choose your
car number (92)?
|
"My brother had 94, my dad had 93, so it was
either 92 or 95. My car was a 1992 Plymouth Sundance, so I chose
92." |
|
• What is your all-time
favorite racecar?
|
"The #93 Oldsmobile Cutlass I drove in 2003." |
 |
|
• What lesson have you
learned because of racing?
|
"The pits are one big family for the most part.
If you're in trouble, they'll help you and you help them if they
need something. I would've never thought that until I started
racing and staying in the pits. You won't find that in any other
sport." |
