Great to be back at the Auto Club Speedway with you.

Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Not Bright Green anymore. I'm Nature's Bakery Blue.

I've never tried them.

Oh, well, let's get inside and try them. Come on. I did a little rehab in here. I was like, we need trail mix. We need fruit because we used to have a lot of like, you know, chocolate and stuff. And don't get me wrong. I like that but I'm just in moderation. So this is the uh priority mail is the garbage. Don't mistake that for real mail. This area is where they just store everything. I mean, you can read all the labels on the truck. It's got like fans, grease guns, engines, uh car parts, gears, springs, uh my special room here. Cut the music. It's so small, so big. The fact that I have a changing room is very good because I don't like to kick people out of the lounge to have to change and you know, most guys, most any hauler doesn't have a changing room but I'm the only girl so And uh this is where the magic happens. This is uh I mean, this is really just the the work lounge where we all work and we go through the notes and we look at what people have done. We look at set up sheets. We look at schedules. They work really hard and uh get the car where it needs to be. Um so that we're fast as possible. So we can go out there and tear it up. For anybody but a driver, it's it's it's an exhaustive schedule to have to, you know, stay in hotels or some people fly commercial and even team planes. It's still you have to wait around for people and you know, it's still a lot of work to be gone for 38 races and basically on the road for nine months straight. So but with drivers, you know, we have our own planes. We um have our own buses and you know, we we we don't have to show up for work the very next day. So you know, it's definitely a lot easier for us, but um but the the team and the crew and everybody they work super hard and uh that's why you don't see anybody in here. They if they weren't working they'd be sitting in here, but everybody's working. So William, get to work. I'm just kidding. That is his job.

You and your boyfriend Ricky, your fellow driver. Yep. Now, last time we spoke, you said he was loving your kale. How's how's the cooking going?

It's going good. I I tried my hand at homemade ice cream last night. One of our friends was um not feeling so well and her throat hurt. So I made ice cream and it was kind of freezing and I was like, man, why did it freeze? I mean, it's coconut milk, it's banana. None of those things freeze hard like ice and then I went, oh shoot. I used the water from the coconut milk instead of just the fat on the top. That's why it froze. So I try a lot of weird things.

Now, we're doing a rapid fire quiz.

Oh, good. Okay.

For your mind. Ready? Why do you want to win this race?

It's such a relief. I mean, that's the goal. So, um it's just uh I think it would just be I'd love to I'd love to have one in Indy car and NASCAR. And uh and that would that would complete that.

Hidden talent.

Sewing. I can hem jeans and all that stuff. I've made a few shirts even. Um, you know, I mean, they're probably not going to sell for that much, but um when I die they might. Because all all art is more worth so much more when you're dead.

Talent you wish you had.

I wish I was good at like tumbling gymnastics. I took it when I was in cheerleading and my arms were they didn't get back far enough to do the flip flops and back tucks and things because I feel like maybe it's from being in this position my whole life.

Well, you do yoga poses really well with your

Thank you. Oh, my best move. I'm great at balancing. Um, so give me your favorite. Oh, well, I mean, I love doing handstands. But I mean anything on one foot like I can stay on one foot through. No, no. There's I'm not going to enough room here.

One person you can always count on.

My dad. Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind. So is there I mean, so is my mom though. My boyfriend. I mean, my sister. I mean, I have great I have a great family and um great friends and I have a lot of friends that would always be there for me too. So I'm really fortunate, especially for having a lifestyle that's so on the go and you're never you're not able to nurture friendships as much because you're gone so much. Um, people are happy to pick up where we left off. And those are real friendships when you don't have to talk to somebody for a couple of months and then all of a sudden you can just go right into it and and and be very connected and and um get along and have plenty to talk about.

First kiss.

Oh my god. I was um he's a red-haired boy and um it was I think it was a dare. And it was I might have been in like maybe like sixth grade. I think his name was Justin. I think. I don't know. I was so young. I can't even remember yesterday barely.

Who plays you in a movie? You should. You're hot. You look strong. Okay, there we go. Okay. She has to balance really well. I'll do it if you do it. Ready? Where are we going with this? Are we going to close our eyes? Good job. I don't know if you stayed up or not, but I started tipping. I tipped it.
