Louis CK for me is probably the best stand-up in the world. So who are some of your favorite comedians and what style of comedy do you like so much that it gives you that much enjoyment? I asked your friend Jenna Fryer for some help in terms of what to ask you, and she said you absolutely love comedy and you’ll listen to it on the plane and laugh out loud on the flight because you love it so much. This is a wild-card question where I’m mixing it up for each person.

Any discipline, business, sport - that’s a key mental aspect you need to be successful.ħ. Learn from them and move forward quickly. It’s by mistakes that you actually become better at anything. What advice would you give someone who is having a hard time getting over a mistake they’ve made? That would be the one if I was to delete the rest.Ħ. Yeah, actual people you grew up with and you know.

So you want the small group where you get life updates and you see how your friends back home are doing? Probably my personal Facebook account, because you actually have all your real friends and people you know. If you could pick only one form of social media to use and drop all the rest, which would it be?

I’ve done that before where I’ve had a friend call me and say, “Hey, do you want to come to this race? It’s about a four-hour drive.” And I didn’t want to make up an excuse, so I said, “Look, I simply just don’t want to go. But if you’re just like, “Yeah, I gotta go, sorry …” Everybody is trying to not hurt people’s feelings. Not a lot of people have said that this year, but I can see where you’re coming from. People actually respect brutal honesty at times. The best way is not to make up some excuse. To be honest and just say, “Look, I’ve got to go and I’ve got to do this.” Just be honest. What is the best way to get out of a conversation with someone who won’t stop talking? But I try to never look at it in the engineering office. I do look at it, because I have to get text messages about schedules and such. How do you make it through a whole weekend without looking through your phone? So yeah, I’m very particular about doing that. But I always sit down and reply to everyone. On race weekends when you win a race or you get a pole or something, it’s difficult because I try not to look at my cell phone over a race weekend. I try to be very quick to reply - punctual, is that what it’s called? I try to reply to everyone, always. On a scale of one to 10, how good are you at replying to text messages in a timely manner? Yeah, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. That’s one of the only good things to come out of COVID, I guess. Like, literally never goes to the grocery store. Ever since COVID, my wife orders all the groceries online. I never go to the grocery store, so not very often. How often do you get recognized at the grocery store? So I definitely like my spine to be reclined.Ģ. I’ve pounded my back and broken my back - or let’s say a compression fracture a number of times and broken it once. Every time I get on a plane now, I just sleep. It’s for both comfort and sleeping purposes. Is that for comfort or sleeping purposes? You tipping it back as soon as you get on? I have no problem with people who recline their seat on airplanes. How do you feel about people reclining their seats on airplanes? Up next: Team Penske’s Will Power, the Ind圜ar championship points leader who heads to the season finale at Laguna Seca with a 20-point margin over Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon.ġ.
