      Fast enough to bring back dirt every day. Fast enough to know that put up or shut up was ahead of the game.

    Corey got a fan out of me absolute balls to the wall driver right there. Reminds me of starting out racing that absolute thirst for seat time. ‘Will it do two laps?’ That right there is the epitome of what makes a racer in my opinion.
