becomes behind bit car couple foot front lose quite rear terrifying
It's quite daunting. The car becomes very light. You think you're going to lose the front end of the car, but you have to keep your foot down. And when you have a car come up behind you, you think you're going to lose the rear of the car. It's a bit terrifying the first couple times.
finish friend good house kevin seeing thinking three
Kevin was a good friend to me. After his death, and seeing his little boy, I got to thinking ? I'm going to do it. Kevin started that house three years ago, and we joked with him about having to finish it for him. Then this happened.
fewer forward last looking previous race racing success time title track win
This is going to be the first time we're racing solo. I would think that there will be fewer yellows. This was also the race we had our first win last year. In fact, it's also the place I clinched my first U.S. title in 1994. So this track has some previous success for me. I'm looking forward to going back.
bodies dirty lost swim
I do not think I want to go back. We had to swim under dirty water, where bodies were floating. It was something. If I can find a place here, I'll stay. We lost everything.

In the future I may concentrate just on the long distance races, but for now I plan to continue driving this year. The Grand American Series has grown so much in a few short years and it is great to be a part of that growth, in the past, present and into the future.

I've been doing it for a long enough time that I can get past it. The thing that makes it difficult is we knew we had a car that was capable of winning.

Kevin had so many friends. Businesses and individuals have really stepped up to the plate for this project.
ahead bring car change goal good last max pole position priority race races
The goal for this race will be the same for every other racing. It doesn't change if we're on the pole or we aren't, we want to be ahead of the No. 01 car. These races go down to the last 20 minutes, so the priority is to bring the car in a good position and give Max a good car so we can do what we have to do at the end.

absolutely earlier italy max medication people virus week
I think the virus that Max had in Italy earlier this week and that some people have here is what I got. I was absolutely gone. I was really lame. There was no way I thought I could do the race. But I rested, had an IV and got some medication and was able to at least do my stint.
anybody blood bloody car guys kinds okay race tomorrow until
The only thing I could think about was the car and the bloody championship. It was a wake-up call, you know. You never think about these kinds of things. If anybody can get it back together, these guys can. One consolation is that the race isn't until 5:30 tomorrow night. So, I think we'll be okay for the race.
