Yes, that's right. We're back for another edition of 12 questions on the Untiled Jeff Buck podcast. My name is Jeff Luck.

So Kyle Larson's sort of the man in the moment lately in NASCAR. Gosh, he is so fun to watch. I was sitting up there at Bristol watching him lead that race the first 202

What's your pitch for fans of theirs to become fans of yours?

Well, I'm very similar to, well, I guess all of them kind of have an open-wheel background.

So I've got that going for me. But yeah, I mean mean I'm kind of a throwback racer you know
