“To follow him and hear him talk, it brings me breath because he is always positive,” said the race back on “The Pivot Podcast.” “He’s positive to everything. He trains. They let him train and the like, so I’m like, ‘When you come out, man, I don’t know if you get a chance.’
“I’ve talked to some people for him. They’ve said a couple of teams are willing to give him a chance. I’m like ‘when you get that chance man, don’t ever – don’t look back and prove to yourself and prove to everyone that a decision does not define you and who you are as a man.’

“And when I start to find out more about the story and about how to drive, am I like ‘Who was he with?’ But he was with his family.
