I did it for a living, made a career out of it, but now I’ve turned it into somewhat of a hobby.

Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet.

It started as a hobby when I was a kid, and I’m finishing as a hobby.

Not yet, when I’m gone I’ll be a legend, right now I’m just very good at what I do.

It’s like flying jet fighters in a gymnasium.

I feel I have lived during one of the best eras of racing there ever was. From Rudolph, Wis., to Daytona, it has increased 1,000-fold. When I first started racing you were looked down upon. Now, you're a celebrity and I'm not just talking about myself. Even if racing hadn't gotten so popular, I would still have done it.

I am pretty well retired, ... I run Slinger and Milwaukee and certain other shows. It's kind of like a hobby.

I play with my tractors and live somewhat of a family life and just try to enjoy trying to retire sooner or later.

I love Wisconsin, but it made my life better (when he went to Cup racing). I had done about everything in short tracks that you can do. It was a new challenge for me to come down here and it gave me a new look on life. It was a different battlefield that gave me a new lease on life.

It was junk. The motor was broken out of place, the front end was smashed. It was only a couple of hours before the race, so I thought we were done,
