What would winning the Brad Doty Classic mean to you as a driver?
“To win the Brad Doty Classic would rank right up there with winning the Knoxville Nationals. When I was growing up, I really looked up to Brad and tried to model myself after him in terms of how he treated people. Not only was he a great driver, but he was good with the fans and the way he handled himself really stuck with me growing up. Brad was my hero and to win an event that celebrates his career would be a huge achievement for me. ”
Having won at Eldora Speedway in June, are you looking forward to returning to the track this week for the King’s Royal by Crown Royal event?
“We’re going into Eldora with a new slate. Even though we won there in June, you’re only as good as your last race results say you are. The win came in June. This is July and it’s going to be a whole new ballgame this weekend. I’ll definitely say that our confidence is up but the King’s Royal isn’t a normal format. They take less transfer spots from the heat races and you really have to be on your A-game the entire night. It would be great to end the night on the stage with Tony and receive that crown. The $50,000 that comes with winning would be great, but I’ve always wanted to sit on that throne. Hopefully, we’ll be able to take Bass Pro Shops and Chevrolet along for that experience on Saturday night. ”
