I would like to set the record straight about my comments Saturday night. After winning the feature against some of the best drivers in the area, I was wound up and the adrenaline was flowing. The geezer comment was intended for one competitor who I have a running age joke with. I guess I should have been more clear about that . If you weren't in on that joke then I am sure geezers sounds bad. As for the monkey comment, there was an individual signaling from the back stretch and he was very animated and I just thought it was funny. Monkey was not the best choice of words although I meant no disrespect ...I just thought it was funny and I was chuckling when I said it. Things look way worse in print than you would imagine as you say them. I regret that this has gotten so far out of hand. I should have chosen my words more carefully.
