KID ROCKET Mini-Interview:

What does you think of the ‘Kid Rocket’ nickname?

JOSH: “It doesn’t matter to me.”

With the school back in session does the racing help any with the ladies?

JOSH: “(Laughs) No, it’s about the same.”

So how tough is it to juggle school and car maintenance during the week?

JOSH: “Its pretty tough. I get out of school and go straight to the shop and work in the car. I get out around 3:00 and go and work on the car until about nine.”

So what’s been the hardest part of the season?

JOSH: “Just getting up and working on the car everyday and cleaning everything out.”

Starting off the season you had to have a goal of some sort.

JOSH: “My goal was just to run the best I could without making too many enemies and see what happens.”

What is your favorite band?

JOSH: “Metallica”

What is your favorite past time while on the road?

JOSH: “Go Kart racing with the other drivers.”
