I was at our beautiful home in Martha's Vineyard, near Boston, sitting on the porch looking at the ocean when I got a phone called and was asked, 'Would I like to do 'CSI'?' A week later, I'm at a coroner's office in Las Vegas, participating in a quadruple autopsy.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ... but that doesn’t matter when you live there.

Las Vegas is kind of like a home track for me because it's near California, where I live. Although we haven't won there yet, I always look forward to going back to Las Vegas. It's a newer race on the circuit (NHRA first competed at The Strip in 2000, the year the track was completed), and it's a first class facility. I always try to encourage fans and our sponsors to go there -- I like showing it off.

Once we reach Las Vegas the game faces come on.

I lost $35,000 in less than a week at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

I hate Disneyland. It primes our kids for Las Vegas.
