Lee NewmeyerGuestLuke BogackiHostYou mentioned earlier working full-time, right? Like, you've made a, a, a life kind of around the, the racing industry, right? In addition to, to what you're doing on the racetrack through a couple of different positions.

Like, in one way you've got a lot of freedom, but like it's pretty easy to get off the rails there.
