Bubba and I have known each other for two decades, 20 years, raced together, grew up together, live five minutes down the road from each other nowadays, and really good friends. “Yeah, it’s cool. It’s cool to see kind of — it’s weird when you get to that period of life, whether it’s yourself or your friends are going through big transitions like getting married or having kids and things like that. So it’s great. I’m happy for him. I’m happy for him and Amanda. It’s been a pleasure to just be close to them. Looking forward to seeing Becks on our plane ride home. I’ll fly home with them here in a little bit. They’re probably waiting at the airport for me. “But yeah, it’s been cool to see — I’m sure it changes you. I can’t speak to that matter. I’m not a dad. But just to see his change and his outlook on life and his attitude about everything, it’s cool to see and I see it a lot because I spend a lot of time with him.”
