I've had the most fun with basketball tournaments, auto racing and the football season, but you can't forget Maine hockey.

I wanted to do something new and do something in racing, and racing is in the south. It'll be tough to leave the area I grew up in, though.

I interned with WABI [Bangor radio station, 910 AM] and it was all because [program director] George Hale gave me a break.

I look around and think of all the people and things I won't be seeing anymore and it kind of makes me sad, but sometimes you need to make a change.

Not only do I admire Jordan's accomplishments and his phenomenal basketball ability, but also the way he has conducted himself on and off the court. I don't think there will ever be another player to have the same impact on the game of basketball as Michael Jordan.

I'll never forget that first race. I was nervous and really shaking. Racing is something I always wanted to do, and that was my big chance. My dad and uncle prepared me well. They taught me how to handle the car. Once I got in and started doing it, it was second nature.
