racerx Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Awesome...Very cool... hmmm, never thought to ask about his grades! Quote
Mel Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 yes, good story...but , who was that big guy talking to him on the front stretch? Kinda looked like a young Norm from cheers! Quote
krusty_rusty Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 i bet we would out drink ole norm Quote
ChuckLicata Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Didn't know which TV station it was (I want to say it was KSAT?), but they interviewed Justin at Tuesday's Press Conference..then found out he made good grades, so they killed 2 birds with one stone and made him their Scholar of the Week. Congrats to Justin... Quote
5StarRacing Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Didnt any one tape it... I missed it.. Justin is an A/B student. Channel 29 "MAX SPORTS" - did tape alot at the press conference and did a good job covering the event. Quote
Definitive Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Does Jason do all of the work on the race car while Justin studies?(I'm not being sarcastic). Quote
RookieRacer#0 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 no i am usually there with him when he works on it. It is hard to get him to work on it without me there Quote
ups88john Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 cant believe i missed my debut on tv, at least this time it wasnt in hand cuffs. but really justin is a good kid and is on the road to do big things, lets just hope he dont start hangin out with the wrong crowd. big john Quote
tqj3 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Damn, Big John. Sounds like it's too late... Quote
Boerneracehounds50 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I think the most inportant thing said in the interview, was by Jason himself, and my hats off to Cindy and Jason, Justin stated there was a point when his parents told him, if his greades were not great an up, he wouldnt be allowed to race, wish more parents followed there thinking. Racing is getting alot of exposure, hope it continues. Quote
Definitive Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Learn that math Justin...so you can count your winnings later lol. Quote
