As per Yahoo Sports, he said, ?Whoever said these guys aren?t athletes are out of their minds. That was the toughest three hours I?ve ever had in my life. I was fitted for a car, me and Dale raced 50 laps, and I slept for two days after that. I really did. I don?t really get scared by a lot of stuff, but I was freaking terrified. You definitely have to be a great shape to do this.?
