Inside the Driver's Mind in Sprint Car Racing

Video Transcript

"In this clip where going to talk about what is going through a driver's mind throughout the race. I don't really; I can't really tell you what is going through every driver?s mind out there. Through my mind is you know, get to the front, be smooth, be fast, you know, don't bump people. I mean, if you got to get into somebody you got to get into somebody. But you don't want to get a bad reputation of being a rough driver, you know. You just got to keep your nose clean and be able to you know, get under people, so that you know, it's nice and smooth and they're not going to be able back underneath you. You know, really what your doing is your just making sure your running where you need to be running on that lap. You know if it?s one lap to go and you got a car in front of you and you're going to pass for second place or first place, you know you need to be going into three, getting underneath them so you can come up out on top on the flag left. You know on some nights when you?re just struggling it's really hard. And on other nights, when you feel like you?re on top of the wheel, on top of the world, you know, it just feels like just comes so easy. So, so naturally, I don't really, you really don't have time to think out there. You know going 120 miles an hour, you're at a racetrack with 20 other guys out there, and you know you just got to think fast if you are going to think at all. So, basically, you know, a lot of racers think that you know, anybody can do this, which anybody can try to do it, but there are only people who are naturally talented at racing that can be good at it. You know, there's lots of names that I can name, there's a ton of racers out there that are just naturally talented and that's, you know that's one of the things. You have to naturally be able to think of what you're going to do out there. I love it out there, you know, this is my favorite thing to do. I feel at home here at the racetrack."
