Believe it or not, I was once just like you, ... I was sitting in a school just like this. I had dreams and goals just like you and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be Magic Johnson.

When you think about the NASCAR brand, it resonates everywhere. They have the No. 1 sports brand.
I'm gonna love my son until the end.
