6:33 – Sturgis, KY was the second school in the US that was integrated after Little Rock. Third grade, I went to school with 1200 National Guard troops around.

14:03 – Never been to a racetrack, I’ve never seen a race before in my life, I was a fish out of water.              

17:17 – Somewhere between 98 and 99 I started understanding everything about the race car. 

23:27 – I picked up the car up from Shannon and drove back to Oklahoma to race; but Shannon’s car had a kick to it! 

34:35 – I’ve been in Moab 17 times…what got me going out there was retracing my dad’s life while he was out there.

41:58 – I got out of it when you couldn’t run Tire Balls anymore; I had a single-seat car, I’m 56 years old, I couldn’t handle a tire by myself.
