I felt like the track came to us, but then it went beyond us.

Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans - the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races - everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible.

My father could look straight ahead but concentrate on something on the very edge of his vision, almost nearly behind him.

Tried on daddy's 1979 rookie firesuit a while back. Smelled every bit of 36 years old.

Being a broadcaster, man, you just sort of paint from a blank canvas, in a way.
