Body Shop Tour and Final Reflections

Andy I end up going with uh I forgot the damn name. It was Eel River. Eel River. We went to that shop a few weeks ago. worst like the worst the worst time of my life because they had so wealthy and then come to find out when I got there they literally thought I was bringing the square D sponsor with me and it was never even in my mind. Uh but it just got tough. But then God rescues everybody in a different way. I hated that Steve Park got hurt, but when Steve got hurt, I jumped into Penso car.

And Tony Stewart said, "The happiest time of my life was when I lived in Indiana and I was driving my dirt sprint car for Steve Lewis, the white number nine." And Mark Martin said, "The happiest time in my life was when I drove for Bill Davis and the number one Ford." And I'm like, "So, I'm not as different as everybody, you know? I I bet Jeff if I asked Jeff Gordon the happiest time in his life, I'd be interested to see what it does. Yeah.
