Q

I was wondering, with Daytona coming soon, what are you looking forward to doing as the returning Daytona champ?
Lacy Hill, Moses Lake, Wash.

Feb. 10, 2010

 

A I am looking forward to dropping the green Sunday and trying to win it again! We have done almost all the media from being defending champ etc. so I’m just looking forward to the race and trying to do it again.
   

Q Hi Matt — Here’s to good luck for this season (raising a responsible amount of Crown Royal in my glass to you). Do you have any plans to do commercials for Crown Royal like you did for Smirnoff Ice? That commercial of your pit crew removing the tires as you walked into a party is my all-time favorite of yours. P.S. “Top Secret” is a very unusual middle name. I’ve heard men say “‘Danger’ is my middle name,” but never that.
Geri Burk, Ripon, Wis.
A Ha, that’s funny. Actually if you must know, my middle name is Roy. I don’t know what they have planned as far as commercials. That’s something the sponsor decides. The Smirnoff commercials were a lot of fun, especially for my crew that got to be involved in it with me.
    

Q

Are you racing any Nationwide races this year, if not why?
Donna Lottes, Madison, Wis.

A Not as of today. We don’t have a sponsor. Jack loses way too much money racing one without a sponsor, so he won’t run any unless we can find the funding.
   

Q I am planning to visit your headquarters in Cambridge soon, and was wondering if you could suggest any “must see” sights in your home state? Thanks for being a clean racer, it shows more talent. Keep the faith. Thanks.
Lisa Schwebke, Baker City, Ore.
A Thanks for the plan to visit. Besides our headquarters, some of my favorites are the Capitol in Madison, the new Harley-Davidson museum in Milwaukee, and everyone loves to visit Wisconsin Dells, especially in the summer.
   

Q So after seeing Kurt Busch go through the whole infield grass at in the Shootout at Daytona with the hood up over the windshield, is it scarier in a crash to see where you’re going, or not see where you’re going?
Laura Bowles, Monona, Wis.
A

It’s WAY scarier when you can see. When you know you are wrecking for sure, or are upside down, or ready to pound the wall, most people, including myself, close their eyes right before the point of impact!!!
