He replied, “One of the few driving heroes I had growing up was Colin McRae, and I was fortunate enough to be teammates with him at the X-Games in 2006. Strangely, I took him drifting with Hulk Hogan. Drifting with Colin McRae and Hulk Hogan in Los Angeles was a unique experience I’ll never forget.”

Subsequently, when did he drift with Hollywood Hogan was a question put before him. He stated, “I was doing a show with Nick Hogan, Hulk’s son. I was bringing a drift car out to train Nick Hogan how to drift, and Colin was in town for the X-Games, and I invited him along. Before you knew it, we were ripping around with Hulk Hogan.”
