Do you know what my proudest moment in racing was? I was 9, ran my first kart race without getting lapped, took a season to get there. My dad was thrilled, I was happy, we talked about it all week, and I don't even have a trophy for it.

My second proudest moment in racing? My first win, age 10, the following season.

Accomplishments stick with you, especially when they are difficult to achieve.
