Great dinner with my guys before we get back to work in Darlington. Appreciate this group and all the hard work they put in week in and week out. Ready to make some noise together in the chase! 👊🏽💪🏽

My first NASCAR race, but definitely not my last. 🏁 I have a tremendous respect for anything that demands precision, preparation, and near perfection. You’d be amazed at the countless hours of repetitive training that go into just a few seconds of flawless execution. That level of discipline, timing, and athleticism gave me a whole new appreciation for the sport. Great experience yesterday. Nothing but respect. 🏎️💨

There’s something special about watching someone grow from a boy into a young man of character and incredible talent. 🙏🏾

This brother @donovan_w went from being a Division I football player to becoming a professional athlete in another sport—working on Hendrick Motorsports pit crews and contracting with other teams as well.

Watching him work gave me a whole new respect for pit crews. The timing, precision, explosiveness, coordination, and athleticism are incredible. What happens in seconds on pit road comes from hours and hours of repetitive training to perfect their craft. 🏁🔥

But today, more than anything, I’m just extremely grateful and appreciative for what he did for my family. He truly rolled out the red carpet for us—all-access garage and pit passes, incredible hospitality, all the food we wanted, and the opportunity to watch our first NASCAR race literally from behind pit road.

Brother, THANK YOU. 🙏🏾 You didn’t just give us access to a race—you gave me, my sons, and my grandson an experience and a memory that we will carry with us forever. ❤️

At the end of the day, life is about moments and memories with the people you love, and today was one of those special ones.

Our first NASCAR race, and one we will NEVER forget. 🏁❤️
