Racing is in my blood, I can't quite get out of it yet. |
Some pushers are way better than others. |
That's the most memorable one, but it's not the most fun to remember. |
The one that hurts the most is that Busch race I had won, |
The whole idea is to run competitive, |
There were a lot of races I was going to win at Milwaukee, but I had mechanical problems or something would happen, ... In the early years, it just took a long time for me to win a race. I got in somebody's oil one time and got in the wall, had a clutch go out once. . . so when I finally won one, it was a long time coming. |
We bought a ticket and got up in the stands, ... We got there fairly early and were sitting for what seemed like a half hour, 45 minutes, when all of sudden, here comes my truck and my car across the track. I told Darlene, 'I can't believe Big John (Boettcher) brought my car up here.' So I raced. That was my honeymoon. |

We really didn't have a planned honeymoon, because we didn't any money to buy much. And I said, 'Why don't we take off and head north and get a motel room and stay overnight?' |
We're pretty excited. It's going to be fun, |
Wisconsin will bring people from Wausau and Kaukauna and La Crosse, so you don't only get the good fan base from the greater Milwaukee area, but a lot of people come in, especially with the MARS cars coming in and the Mid-American cars from all over the state, bringing in their fan base, their parents and children and grandpas and whatever, ... It's really a fun weekend. |
You try to run the best line. I had about the fifth-fastest time, but I think a couple of guys got sleds that are house sleds. They've got their own name on them, that kind of stuff. |
