All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of the Untitled Jeff Gluck podcast. I'm your host, Jeff Gluck, and today it's a 12 questions version of the podcast with A.J. Almondinger of J.G. Doherty Racing. Of course, this being Watkins Glenn Week, AJ Almondinger is going to be in the spotlight,

and so I figured this would be a good week to do the 12 questions with him.

Been a bit of a rough stretch lately for AJ Almondinger, which he noted when I walked in,

he said, man, you always seem to do these when I'm struggling or not in the best place lately,

but he said he was going to try to rally and give some good answers for the 12

questions interview. So let's see how he did in answering this year's version.

All right, everybody, I'm here with A.J. Almendinger, and A.J., the first question is, how often do you

have dreams about racing? Unfortunately, pretty much every day or nightmares, either one, depending on how it's gone

that weekend.

So, yeah, it's something I wish I could be better about just shutting my brain off when I

leave the racetrack and forgetting about the weekend, whether it was good or bad or not,

and then when we get to the next track, get ready for it. But my brain's never worked like that. I'm 36. It's probably not going

to stop until I'm done. I hear you. All right. So if you get in someone during a race,

intentional or not, does it matter if you apologize? No, no. It doesn't. No, it really doesn't.

It's because if you're on the opposite end of it and you're the guy getting hit or

wrecked, the sorry really doesn't matter.

Whether you do think it's on purpose or not, you know, I think you say just to try to make

yourself feel better, especially if it's on accident.

If it's on purpose, then you don't really care.

But, yeah, you try to say sorry, but you know if you're,

because if you're on the other end of it,

it doesn't matter to that person, so it is what it is.
