"As Many of you know, I've been a Ford guy for most of my career - whether it was racing a Ford product or a race car powered by Ford - and over the years, I had some pretty good success. When I decided to reduce my oval track and road racing schedules, an opportunity came my way via my old friend Bill Stroppe, who at a party one night, challenged me to try off-road racing. My reaction was that I didn't think that it would be my bag. Whereupon Bill, ever the master at goading someone on, replied that I probably wasn't man enough. Well, that was like waving a red flag at a bull, and Bill got exactly what he wanted. The rest, as they say, is history."
