    Sat at the table across from Dubya, shooting the breeze for about an hour while making phone calls on behalf of his dad (and Ronald Reagan). Who'd of guessed he'd be #43?

    Left to right is Brad Whitford(Aerosmith), Rachel Bolan(Skid Row, me, Brad Johnson(AC/DC) and Jesse James Dupree(Jackyl). I use to work for the Richard Petty Driving Experience and we had celebrities all the time. This was at Indy and we also met Ralph Sheheen(speed tv), can't remember his name but he was CEO of Mercedes Benz at the time and Rich Gannon.

    I was in a Tylenol commercial with Jimmy Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Matt Kenseth, Dale Jarrett, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon (All very cool/fun guys to be around). We were at the commercial shoot for 3 days so we would all hang out between takes and after filming was done for the day.
    We had Nascar drivers giving ride alongs all the time so we met a lot of drivers.

    I'm sure he is dead now, but in 1984 or so, I had a Senator point a rifle at me thinking I was a poacher on a ranch he was hunting. What a splendid gentleman he was. ;)
