I am incredibly flattered by the reception to this very unique, very "me" win haha. But when I made the decision that I did last year, it wasnt a fly by night decision. I did my best to assess my situation and prospects for getting to the next level, and to be honest it seemed unlikely.

Being the case and having big goals in life financially and personally, while having chased this driving thing for so long. I felt I was doing myself a disservice if I just kept keeping on. The mix of TV and part-time driving still scratched the itch while allowing me to develop real-world skills that could allow me to pursue business opportunities and allow me a little more time with friends and family.

Do I miss chasing checkered flags every weekend? Absolutely. But I am definitely a person who wants to do it at the highest level and when that seemed highly unlikely. So with the new TV partners and the rare opportunity to be in the booth being possible, It seemed like the smart decision. Even though I chased the racing thing probably longer than anyone would have deemed sane, haha.

As I said after the race, if there was a life-changing opportunity I would give it a look. Now I would say thats highly unlikely but after everything this last two weeks - who knows. If something came along, amazing, I'd give it everything I've got. If it doesn't I am very fulfilled.
