TLC:  What made you want to get your start in racing?

 AH:   I wanted to start racing because I kinda just grew up playing the NASCAR video games and my dad started racing when I was 8. So I guess you could say it’s a blood-borne illness lol.

TLC. If you could pick any current cup driver to have as a teammate, who would you pick and why?
