Answers to the following questions will appear in red.
1. What was your first personal vehicle?
A Ford Pinto that I drug out of my dad’s junkyard and built it up. I think it was a ’79, it had the square headlights.
2. What type of music do you listen to?
Anything from Hank Williams to Marilyn Manson. It just depends on what mood I’m in.
3. What is your favorite pro or college sports team?
The Patriots. I’m not really much into sports so that’s about it.
4. What hobby do you have away from the track?
Oh, definitely fishing.
5. If you had a free vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I like to go to Bora Bora where they have those villas with the glass bottoms over the water. That would be pretty cool.
6. What is your all-time favorite movie or television show?
I like that new Ballers TV show pretty good.
Davenport’s No. 49
7. Who is a non racer you admire(living or dead)?
I don’t know anybody outside of racing so I’d have to say that man right there(pointing to Barry Wright)
8. What is your favorite restaurant?
Any steak house.
9. Name a skill or ability you wish you had.
I wish I was a better fabricator than what I am.
10. Are you a late sleeper or an early riser?
Both really. I can get up early to go fish but on the weekends when I’m racing I try to sleep late so I’m not tired when it’s my time to go race.
