Working for Jack Roush and Henry Benfield's Pranks

He's he's a big military buff anyway. He said, "You don't work for nobody now. You're not wearing a uniform." I said, "No." I said, "I quit taking care of my wife. My wife is sick. I go every day and feed her." He laid his briefcase up on a stack of tires, flipped it open, started writing something down. He handed me a piece of paper and he said, "If you ever decide to get back in racing, give me a call. You've always got a job with me." Well, I still had my hard card. I just left Pettis. You know, to sign in, you got to have a license. You just can't walk up and get a garage pass without a license. So, I called him and I said, "Can I sign in on one of your cars and get a license?" And he had three teams on one of your cars. so I can get a license to go to a few races every now and then. He said, "Oh, no. You need a hard car." I said, "No, no, no, no, no. I don't want a hard card. It cost too much money. I won't go to enough races to justify hard." UPS was here the next day with all the paperwork fell out for a hard car. >> But did he pay for it? >> Yeah, I did pay for it. >> That's awesome. >> He bought me a hard card. So, I went to auto five or six races that year and they called me uh the transportation director, whatever. I forget his name. He called me. They were at Daytona. He said, "One of our drivers is sick. Can you fly to Daytona and drive the truck home?" I said, "Sure." I couldn't say no. I drove it home from Daytona and I worked there seven years driving the truck. >> A good place to work. >> This past season, Steuart Hos called me and wanted me to come ask what I've been arrested in driving their Exfinity truck full time. >> Yeah. >> I said, "No, thank you. I'm done." How did you know Henry Benfield for him to call you and ask you to to ride with him in the first place? >> I forget where I had met him and we'd become friends and I had talked to him and met him and I' met him on the road and and and Henry don't meet a stranger. He he's friendly to everybody and we'd befriended each other and he just called me up out of the blue. He knew I drove a truck to go with him to Riverside. You hear all kinds of stories about him putting things in people's food. Like, >> let me tell you something. They're true. >> Did he ever do it to you? >> Not to me. I have spent the night. Henry's OCD. All his labels are turned the same in his pantry. He lives by himself. He's got white carpet…
