Exactly He's getting married during the off season and has said he would like to start a family. Why risk his health at this point when he only has a couple more years anyway? It's not like he needs the $$$ 1 minute ago, Biggie Smails said: BTW The Southern 500 is just badass and the whole retro theme is cool as fuck!

If he loves racing he would get out of the car and mentor a young up and coming driver in the 88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
