What's your favorite sports video game?

It's got to be NASCAR, the EA sports version. I love the racing games, any competition games, and then some of those Army games, like SoCom.

What's the longest you've played in one sitting?

I've sat and played for four hours, maybe five hours or so, just getting into it. Once you start rolling, you keep going.

What games to you play for so long?

SoCom or racing games if you're doing the points season.

Have you ever used video games to prepare for a real race?

I used to, just for tracks I hadn't been to before. But now that I've been around for enough years, it's just fun to play them every now and then and go to my favorite tracks.

Do you ever play online?

No. I'll find family members or friends from the neighborhood. I love to find kids who I can play against to challenge my skills. The kids are good, they're scary fast!

Do you usually race as yourself in games?

Oh yeah, definitely. I gotta be the 2 car!
