Some folks ask me what the transition was like from NASCAR reporter to political reporter. It's easy.

In the last three years of racing I've met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it's the same thing.

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated.

Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week. -- Rick Pitino
Being involved in NASCAR, I've learned a lot. I've met a lot of people. I've met a lot of special people. I've met some of our leaders. I've met some of the smartest people out there.
