I've been a fan. It's not like I just woke up and say, you know what? I'm a
goal and I'm a attack NASCAR. No, I've been supportive of NASCAR for a long
period of time, but I was focused on what I was doing, which is basketball.
Now, when I got into NASCAR, I can see how things operating. It was lopsided.
It was wrong. This sport was not set up for success long term for the
individuals that's involved in the sport now up top. Yeah, you know, they
can make you and I are making a good living. Jordan sued, saying NASCAR was
being run like a monopoly, controlling what tracks were used, what supplies
for cars were allowed and that better terms were needed in the charters to
enter races. When I read that Michael Jordan is going to take the stand that
got everybody's attention. Were you nervous? Oh yeah, I was. Don't get me
wrong. I mean, I was nervous in the courtroom makes me nervous because
that's not where I want to be really 100%. But I was all in. I was gonna
win. Only way this sports gonna grow is we have to find some synergy between
the two entities, and I think we've gotten to that point in a groundbreaking
settlement. NASCAR agreed to give teams evergreen charters with improved terms.
This fight was needed, and if I got kicked out, least I made people aware
that change needs to happen in this sport. So I went in with the idea that
even if I lost, I want he did not lose. Still winning doesn't come easy. It
comes with sacrifice. Yes, you're gonna sacrifice something. Yes, it's
infectious. You know, you win. Everybody's happy when you lose is a
sadness, which is necessary. People say at this level, you learn more from your
losses in your wins. You agree? Yes, without question. Is there a downside
to competition to being this competitive? I think it can take its
real toll on relationships. You think I'll just look inside yours quickly. I
look at the cars. Have you ever even been in a car? It seems like your body
wouldn't fit in a car. I can't fit. So you've never been in a car and never
driven. No, do you want to? I would probably try to go as fast as Denny
Hamlin and some of these other guys, knowing I don't have the talent to do
so. I probably running straight into that wall, but that doesn't change my
desire. I love this sport.
