As for Kyle, not all the guys do their own work, have helmet bag will travel. It just that the amount you race is no big deal, it's a job. I do mine 5 to 6 days a week, Puts that 90 times in perspective , doesn't it.
It's a job alright,full of 16 to 20 hour days 7 days a week when you're traveling and racing full time for a living,not seeing home for month's at a time,so I feel what Kyle did versus someone who has to haul the race car everywhere plus work on it and race it doesn't even compare.And I'm talking about racing all over the country,not just a couple of states in close proximity.We used to run the eqivolent of Sprint week 4 or 5 races everyweek for months on end and drove a total of 62 thousand miles one season,now if you would've used Frankie Kerr as your example,I'd be in total agreement with you.You say you do your job 5 to 6 days a week,now let me ask you this,do you work double shifts everyday?Put's that 90 times in perspective,doesn't it.
