I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice.

My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche.

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say

Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.
