That's the most memorable one, but it's not the most fun to remember.

I play with my tractors and live somewhat of a family life and just try to enjoy trying to retire sooner or later.
challenge cup gave life love short tracks
I love Wisconsin, but it made my life better (when he went to Cup racing). I had done about everything in short tracks that you can do. It was a new challenge for me to come down here and it gave me a new look on life. It was a different battlefield that gave me a new lease on life.
certain milwaukee run
I am pretty well retired, ... I run Slinger and Milwaukee and certain other shows. It's kind of like a hobby.
best celebrity gotten increased lived looked racing talking
I feel I have lived during one of the best eras of racing there ever was. From Rudolph, Wis., to Daytona, it has increased 1,000-fold. When I first started racing you were looked down upon. Now, you're a celebrity and I'm not just talking about myself. Even if racing hadn't gotten so popular, I would still have done it.
best couple guys house name run
You try to run the best line. I had about the fifth-fastest time, but I think a couple of guys got sleds that are house sleds. They've got their own name on them, that kind of stuff.

It was junk. The motor was broken out of place, the front end was smashed. It was only a couple of hours before the race, so I thought we were done,

It's a long way from Rudolph to Daytona. I feel I raced in a great era and in a great place. I was very fortunate.

We're pretty excited. It's going to be fun,
