Pre-race interview is Up!

1. I guess a combo of Mark Martin and Troy Aikman.


2. I used to live 10 minutes from a dirt track so those would have been my first races. And then also when I was younger I went to qualifying at Bristol but my first real NASCAR race was Xfinity Spring Bristol 2014. https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1912481_1474280892787602_1809409868_n.jpg?oh=0693b13dddb38f96989d36b3341c626b&oe=5A22AEB3

[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]2. What was the first race that you went to?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3. Propane or Charcoal?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]1.  I've always liked Mark Martin, on the professional scene, but growing up Ascot Speedway and Ventura Raceway, I liked an old cat named Sleepy Tripp.  That dude could wheel a midget.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]2.  First race would have been a midget or sprint car race at one of those two tracks.  First NASCAR race would have been at the old Riverside road course.  Since then, I take my younger son to a race/year as a combo birthday/Christmas present.  Vegas two years ago, Phoenix this year.  (My older boy isn't much of a race fan... so I take him to the PAC12 football championship game every year).[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3.  I use charcoal when I have the time, but when I don't I use my natural gas grill.  Prefer the smoker above all, though.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Good luck this week, everyone! See ya in Charlotte.[/font]

 

[Jeffery Ford]

1. Who was your sports hero growing up?
My dad. He was badass in everything. Was scooped up by the Baltimore Orioles but was amazing at everything. Really a true 3 sport athlete.

2. What was the first race that you went to?
Dover Downs in Dover Delaware. I rooted for the 21 car of me.pearson which then went to Neil bonnet.

3. Propane or Charcoal?
My wife's Mexican. Enough said.

 

[Jeffery Ford]

As you may all know I live here on the border in South Texas.  I was asked to deploy after the hurricane hits and I stated yes.   I'm on stand-by right now.  But I may or may not make Charlotte.

1. Who was your sports hero growing up?
Hmmm, I never really had a sports hero.  I guess my favorite football player was Chris Carter, and favorite Nascar Driver Rusty Wallace.  But I didn't exactly follow them spot on.  I like to think of myself as my favorite sports hero.  Since I'm Badass at everything...

2. What was the first race that you went to?
Dirt track race in Fairmont Minnesota.  Rooted for a neighbor, Jenkins Pig Farm.  Not kidding.


[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3. Propane or Charcoal?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Definitely Propane, I can't really tell the difference and it's so much easier.[/font]

Pre-Race Interview:
1. Who was your sports hero growing up?
Trevor Linden

2. What was the first race that you went to?
24Hr Nurburgring race when my dad raced in it. I hung out in the pits, but was only 5 years old. All I remember is it was loud and long. After that it would be the Vancouver Indy. Went to that 3 or 4 times. Always a blast.

3. Propane or Charcoal?
Charcoal

  What years would this have been?

 

[Carsten Quint]

Early 80s, my dad and a couple of his friends entered whatever the lowest class was at the time. They drove a Ford Escort. We lived 30 mins from the track, so they had lots of opportunities to drive there. I think they entered it 3 or 4 times, finished it once.
