"I enjoy racing because I like to drive. I like flying around the corners 2 inches from the ground. The only
thing I don’t like is crashing. It’s so hard to get it out of your head when you are driving. I have had two
wrecks and some spin outs.
I also enjoy driving because of the people you meet. You get to meet tons of new people and behind the
scenes looks at the races. We have tons of fun every race weekend. Until next time, Kyle Niquette"
