What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?

I enjoy doing landscaping and stuff like that. I like to mow, I like building projects, and doing other improvements around the house. We’re wrapping up a few right now because we actually just sold it. We’re building a new house in Grand Isle this summer.

 What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?

Let me think here – do I have any? I have a lot of things I’m interested in, but I’ve also got kids that keep me really busy, and I do a lot of side work and projects on top of my full-time job, so I don’t really get to do a lot of the things I really like to do. When I finally get a free moment, I usually just sit down. (Laughs)

What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?

Working on the race cars, mostly. I also love hunting in-season. Me and dad both went up to Maine this year, and we both ended up getting deer within the first three days we were up there. That was pretty special for both of us, especially the first time going up. I spend a lot of time working in the garage as well, and I also play basketball.

What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?

Hunting, fishing, and boating – I like to get out on a boat on the lake every weekend that we can. I really like to get outdoors. During the summer, we spend a lot of time outside. We’re inside too much during the winter, so when it’s warm out, you’ve got to get outside.
