I know that it has been awhile since I have written and I thank everyone for not getting too mad at me for the break. I also appreciate everyone allowing me to enjoy the so called "off season" and also all the support my fans have given since last year.

Okay, I'm sure everyone wants to know what I've been doing since the 2002 season ended. I've been spending a lot of time with my family, which has been great. I've been working on Tyler's quarter-midgets and his racing. He actually won his first feature event in November. Besides that I've filmed a few commercials, so make sure to look for them soon

Let's get to it.....I'm really excited about this year. We've got a great team, a new car, and a new crew chief. Most teams would probably be a little nervous about all the changes, but we're not...not for one second. The guys at the shop have been busting their butts to get everything ready and right for this season. I hope everyone has been keeping up with our testing. If you have, you will know that every test we've had went real well and we hope that is a good omen for the 2003 season.

So, make sure you tune into the races this season. I know that you're going to see that #18 Interstate Batteries Chevrolet running up front.
