“This Le Mans program looks interesting. Probably going to do a little simulator work for them. My last race was the 24 hours of Daytona. I love that event. We had good success by winning it with Wayne Taylor Racing and with Cadillac.”
“And so this program is something that would be exciting to go to Le Mans. I want to be a part of it. We are a part of it with Hendrick, but I just don’t know if I’ll be able to get behind the wheel and drive it in that race.”
