This week’s Question of the Week comes from Gabe, who asks: I am preparing for my first National Event, not really looking for advice so much as a story. Can you tell me a little bit about your first National Event or your first National Event win?

Today on The Daily Driver, I share one of my favorite memories involving my father and a lesson in belief, perseverance, and passion for racing that has stayed with me for nearly 25 years. From a rain-delayed national event in Topeka to a wounded race car and a matchup against my idol, this story is about more than competition, it’s about the unwavering confidence a parent can instill and the impact that belief can have long after the moment has passed. 

This week’s Question of the Week comes from David, who asks: How do I strategize against my opponent at different types of race tracks when it comes to time slips. For example at Worldwide drag strip they use the time slip app I can look up an opponent's car number and gauge whether he's dialing honest or holding some numbers. How do I strategize against my opponent at racetracks like Benton that still use the paper time slips?"
