The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

I mean, we do the best we can of like wearing in ears in the car, stuff like that to try to just muffle some of it. But it does digress a little bit. You see a lot of drivers that have retired, they are on hearing aids now, but it's just one of the drawbacks.

The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

Yeah, it's always what I wanted to do just because I grew up around it and it was what I was most comfortable with, just watching my dad do it. I played other sports as a kid. You know, I, I love playing basketball. I love baseball. Um, but then I kind of had to come to a realization, like I'm probably not going to make it. I'm, I have my father's jeans.

The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

I'm probably going to be five, nine and like 140 pounds. And, Racing is probably the best route for me. But my dad never forced me to do it. He was always, are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to go to the next step? So it was something that I just wanted to do what my dad did. I got lucky that I was able to get the opportunities and make a living off of doing this.

The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

I'll be honest with you, like, not really. I don't really have to search for adrenaline too often. People ask all the time, like, oh, it's just is it just an adrenaline boost racing cars? And like, not really. Like, you're not white knuckling out there all the time. I think it's just what you're used to. But I try to find things that are more like relaxing to me, like going, you know, skiing and

The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

The opposite, complete opposite. I am a very slow driver on the roads. I have nowhere to be quickly. I always tell people like, I get paid to drive really fast for my job. And the only thing I get, if I go fast on the roads is like a speeding ticket, a fine or go to jail. So it's like the trade-off is not worth it to me. My wife is actually the speed demon behind the wheel.

I kind of, if she's driving, we're getting to the place we need to go to quickly. And, uh, I try not to be a passenger, uh, you know, passenger driver, I guess. And, uh, I'd tell her what to do, but she's a speed demon on the roads. I, uh, I, I don't really get anything for that.

I mean, everyone gets tickets, right? I mean, everyone does it. I haven't had one in a good amount of years. I'll tell you, my last one I had was I was a junior in high school. And my mother put a stop to that right away. The fear of mom got put in me after that speeding ticket because it wasn't a great one. It was a moment.
