I have talked to stunt drivers all my life, 32 years of talking to stunt drivers. There's a craziness to them.
In this country, the most popular form of car racing is the huge multibillion dollar industry that's called stock car racing. That's what NASCAR is. That's what the SC stands for in the middle of NASCAR, Stock cars.
The competition in today's world of racing is so tough.

It's an opportunity of a lifetime to be teamed up with (Kevin) Harvick, with Tony (Stewart), Danica (Patrick). Us four in the same meetings, it could be hell or could be great. I'm just kidding about the hell part.
I'll give you a list of a hundred ways that I'm more likely to be injured than belting around a race track with people who know what they're doing. It's not a place where I feel I'm in unnecessary danger.

A lot of the listeners don't realize that the Daytona 24 Hours is the most difficult race in the world. It's 24 hours, a lot of darkness because it's held at the end of January, so you're talking about 13-14 hours of darkness.
You can have a great car in the Sprint Cup Series and run 15th with it. It's super competitive. These guys are just really good.
