Q: Where are you from?

Q: Tell me something unique about your family.
A: I have a beautiful fiancée, Sarah.
Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you are not at the shop?
A: I like to go hunting. Heck, we all like to go hunting together.
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: Cooper
Q: Is that a goldfish?
A: No, no...he's a dog...a mutt.
Q: What was your first job?
A: I mowed lawns for 20 dollars.
Q: How did you get into racing?
A: I was a fan first. I rooted for Bill Elliott when I was five years old. But, I've worked on go-karts, Legend Cars, ARCA cars, Trucks, Busch cars, and Cup cars.
Q: Have you done any racing yourself?
A: Yup, go-karts and Legend cars.
Q: What is your job on the team?
A: I am the rear tire changer on race-day, and I maintenance the rear suspension during the week.
Q: What is your favorite racetrack in the series and why?
A: Martinsville, mostly because it's a short track and the cars bump and bang a lot. But, I also like it because I've been going there since I was 5 years old. It's always nice when we are close to home and don't have to fly.
Q: Do you have any good luck charms?
A: I don't shave on race day. Does that count?
