LIST EVER SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE

00:01:46.973 --> 00:01:47.640
KID.

00:01:47.707 --> 00:01:49.342
HIM AND HIS FATHER USED TO COME

00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:51.611
DOWN AND WATCH THE LITTLE 500.

00:01:51.678 --> 00:01:57.417

CHEETOS50.

00:01:57.884 --> 00:01:59.419
AND SINCE HE'S GOT A LITTLE

00:01:59.486 --> 00:02:01.387
EXTRA TIME ON HIS HANDS TO

00:02:01.454 --> 00:02:03.656
DIVERSIFY HIS RACING CAREER, HE

00:02:03.723 --> 00:02:08.261
DECIDED HE WANTED TO GIVE THE

00:02:08.328 --> 00:02:11.231

00:02:11.297 --> 00:02:12.332
