Thank you, Paul. It's about giving back and paying forward to the next generation in my mind. I have been fortunate to drive many special cars in my life and I've raced for a long time. I don't believe in ballads and crappy attitudes in the pits. Whenever I see a guy with his kid peeking into a car I'm involved with, I encourage the kid to get in and sit in the car. The parent would look at me and say "really?" and I would say sure, get in. Out comes the phone for a great photo op with the kid in the car, sometimes they are so small they can't even see over the dash, but the look on their faces is priceless and I can just imagine how they discuss the experience with friends and family afterwards.
