Quotes
CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT - "It's something I really like doing. We have other drivers and celebrities come out and join us for a really cool day. It's neat to hang out with people on their day off and just enjoy playing golf and talking. We plan to raise some money for all the good work the Children's Charities does around the country. Eagles Landing is a really great course as well. Golf is a good way to relax and just get away from racing for a bit."
