In all sports, I love conflict. I especially love it in NASCAR. And no place is prone to cause more conflict than Bristol Motor Speedway.

I’ve been there. The atmosphere is unbelievable. It’s rare in this new NASCAR world full of mile-and-a-half tracks where most fans can only see portions of the racetrack that a spectator can get a full, unabridged view of a speedway

There's nothing quite like the quality father son time spent together working on projects in the garage. I used to love working on projects with my dad, going out to the garage and learning all about tools, different types of repairs and general mechanics. Not to mention on occasion learning new and wonderfully vulgar words to add to my already growing obscene vocabulary! I learned well and continue to use my man-knowledge and vocabulary to this day!
