This track, I love it. I like short-track racing, road courses and flat tracks and this is a combination of all three of those.

This is a hybrid. It has the same wheel size as a road racing bike, but a wider tire. You still have the upright seating position, but because the bike has the gearing to go faster and farther, you bend over and steer with the flat bar to go fast or corner.

We've missed the road racing element of the series over the years, and I can't tell you how thrilled we are to add a road course back into the mix.

We have some good setup notes. We had a good top-15, top-10 car last fall. Hopefully we can go back with that and improve on it.

I had to bite the bullet and buy my own plane. It's a lot for me in a short amount of time, but I'm pretty excited about it.

I can't believe it. Two years ago I was here as a visitor of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and he invited me to come and stay in his motor home. That's the only other time I've been to victory lane.
