“I watch F1, I watch Moto GP. You know, dirt sprint cars.”
“I love dirt sprint car racing. I didn’t do a ton of it growing up. But, it’s what my dad did through the 80s and 90s.”
“I got a lot of friends that you know are in it or used to do it. And those cars are just super unique.”
“So, I’d love to be able to wheel a sprint car. It’s been probably 13-14 years since I’ve got behind the wheel of one of those.”
