Week Nineteen Question

 

Question:  With all of the years you've been racing, which paint scheme has been your ultimate favorite and why?

-- submitted by Tracy from Rockford, IL

 

Answer:  That's a tough question but the timing of it is perfect.

I've been fortunate to be a part of some very cool promotions. I remember running the MDA car for CITGO at Darlington early in my career. It was a beautiful car and was for a great cause. I've also run some cool paint schemes for the United States Air Force with the Wood Brothers and M&M's (Groovy Summer, Star Wars and the Black and White car) with Robert Yates Racing. But I'll have to say the two closest to my heart have been the Autism Awareness paint scheme I ran last summer at the Best Buy 400 in Dover and the Stanley car I ran last October in Charlotte.

You guys know my niece Halie has Autism and my Mom is winning a battle with breast cancer. It's special to have sponsors that step up and support causes that are so close to my heart and my family.

This weekend we are running a pink Stanley Dodge to support breast cancer awareness. It looks cool and hopefully will be fast. I met Nancy Brinker a few months ago, the founder of Susan G Komen, and not only was she a nice lady but she's very genuine in her efforts to win the war against breast cancer.

This weekend, and for the first time in my career, I'm actually running a special steering wheel, which has the Susan G. Komen logo on it. The King is going to wear a special pink cowboy hat. We're going to auction both of these one of a kind items off after the race on SadlerFoundation.org.

This weekend carries a special meaning for me and my family and I know it will for many of you, too. Hopefully we can go win the race this weekend in Charlotte and the pink Stanley paint scheme I'm sporting can become my all-time favorite.
