Most Memorable
Racing Achievement:

“Racing at Mont Tremblant, Quebec. I had a huge crash on the second lap of qualifying, trying to take pole. I was thinking about pulling out of the race because I had hurt my left leg and my neck was really sore, but I decided to race anyway after the EMT had checked me out and found nothing was broken. I started dead last in a field of 26 cars, and a thunderstorm had just rolled through! After an exciting race which included four full-course yellows and a red flag, I had managed to get myself back up to a fifth-place finish.”

Favorite Race Track
& Why:

“So far out of all the places I’ve driven, I’d have to say Sebring is my favorite, because it has every type of corner, long straights and the bumpy Turn One and 17 are just so much fun.”

Racing Hero:

Michael Schumacher – “The first race I ever saw was in 1996 when he won at Spa. Since then I’ve been hooked.”

Music (“I started playing piano at the age of 4 and also play the guitar”), pool/billiards, snowboarding (“there are great places to go and the seasons are long in the northwest”), video games and hot yoga.
