Thank you for the invitation to join your crew. I am honored to be a part of this. My dad was a founding partner in a local fire department many years ago, so I am very appreciative of what firefighters do and stand for. I still have relatives in some of our local fire departments.

Another of my reasons for joining is to let off some steam about the incidents that took place last night at RIR. First of all Denny Hamlin should have been black flagged for not keeping up to speed, I think that was just done so Kyle Busch ( the shrub)could be right on Jr’s bumper at the restart. And Darrel Waltrip seems to only like to talk about how the Toyota teams are doing. There are other manufacturers out there, Darrel! Don’t worry Jr., Big E is watching! Look out Kyle Busch.
