So it’s very different from the other Camaro you were driving in the Gerry Marshall Trophy?
Yes, big time, but the principle is similar in that both cars have a lot of power and are very heavy. I like to drive in a delicate way and with NSCAR you can’t do that, you have to be aggressive. The car has so much muscle you pray to God you make the corner in a good way.
What’s the most difficult thing about driving a NASCAR?
The steering. It is so indirect you have to make macro turns of the wheel when you want to make even micro adjustments, which is difficult when you want some opposite lock. For racing you should always keep your hands in the same position on the wheel and with a NASCAR you can’t do that.
Did you all behave yourselves out there?
I was tempted to pass Tom Kristensen (in another NASCAR Camaro) but we all obeyed our orders. The other house captains weren’t there; they are not qualified enough for this sort of car.
