My sister and I would race on the weekends. It was a way for my sister, my mom and me to spend time with my dad. He worked all week and worked a lot so it was a great way for us to spend time as a family and have fun.

The last time I was pulled over was in 2005. I was going 55 in a 35 mile per hour zone - which I don't understand because you can barely even idle at 35 miles per hour. Anyway, I was ordered to go to traffic school. It was an 8-hour class and really painful.

I'm definitely different and I know that.

No matter how good you are, how brave you are or anything, it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time, but so many times.

Fame can be annoying, but there are perks too.

I didn't want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go.

People have opinions about everything and especially when you get into that world of animal rights or tree rights or whatever rights, they all have an opinion.
