track racing special
Its always a little different, racing on your hometown track. It makes it more special.

When the car's going well, I purr like a kitten.
running exercise engineering
Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it's more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can't run flat out. You're constantly in traffic, there's more driver involvement.

No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.

You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.
