along car drivers flying fun machines neat night pinch race together
I think race car drivers and airplanes go together pretty well. They're just neat machines and I've always thought about being a pilot. So I'm having fun with that. I have to pinch myself when I'm flying along at night in my own airplane, going to a race somewhere.

It was a gamble. Everything has to work just out just right in those kinds of situations. I needed another few laps. I wish we had another caution with five laps to go.
