Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing.

This 51 Phoenix Racing team, I love them to death. They've got my back, I've got theirs.

I just always dreamed of racing cars, but I didn't think I could do it as a living.

That's what I try to do each and every week is give my best effort and not give up, no matter what comes at us.

You know, its just a matter of working through the pitfalls sometimes and working through the challenges that lie ahead.

Each driver has their own identity and from one week to another, normally it stays the same.

It's almost therapeutic driving there and driving back (to North Carolina), with the time you get to think about things as well as create checklists.
