What else are you good at?

Jeff Burton: I really like to cook at home, so I pretty much do all of the cooking for the family. Kim (his wife) doesn't really like to cook, so it works out perfect for us.

Jeff Green: I'm a really good fabricator. Most people don't know this, but if I wasn't a driver, I'd probably be building race cars for a living.

Casey Atwood: I used to be a pretty good baseball player. I play the drums, but I'm not that good, and I'm learning to play the guitar.

Tony Stewart: I like to think I'm a pretty good fisherman and a pretty good bowler. If there's a place to fish near a racetrack and I can fit it in my schedule, I'm there. Obviously, there are more ponds and lakes around than bowling alleys, so I'm probably a better fisherman than anything else.

Matt Kenseth: I am actually not very good at anything else.

Mark Martin: I decided to race professionally because I wasn't very talented at anything else. Being 5-6, I knew I would never have a career in the NBA. I really can't think of anything else I excel at other than racing and trying to be a good husband and father.
