I stay very neutral but I'm going to say I had a igloo cooler of ice water ready for Kevin if he wins last night. I told Sterling I would never pull against him and I was glad to see he won since he had his boy with him. The first race I won in 2005 after not racing for 8 years and having my 2 kids there was awesome.
