00:00 Thanks for joining us James, back in Australia after a great season on the World of Outlaws

00:07 in America.

00:08 Can you run us through your campaign over there?

00:10 Yeah, long season, like normal, you know, start in February and end up in November,

00:15 middle of November.

00:16 So, long 75-80 race schedule, pretty happy with the year, had a lot of success and up

00:23 and downs at the same time.

00:25 So, sprint car racing, it's a roller coaster of a deal, but to win six Outlaw shows this

00:30 year was really good, really happy with the way my team worked together and, you know,

00:36 when we had some bad moments we dug deep and definitely came back swinging.

00:40 So, yeah, happy with the year, but it's always good to come home, come back to Australia,

00:45 get a good coffee and a good feed and hang out with the grandparents.

00:49 What is the coffee like in America?

00:51 Absolutely terrible.

00:52 It's a struggle, we've actually got a coffee machine there and we get the Toto's beans

00:59 sent over so I can have my normal coffee in the morning, it's good.

01:04 Excellent, and obviously you're back home and you've teamed up with Hodges Motorsport

01:07 again for a second season.

01:09 Can you tell us a little bit about your aims for the summer?

01:12 Yeah, excited to get back with Hodges Motorsport and obviously have Napa Auto Parts on board

01:17 again, which is huge for us and huge for the sport.

01:20 So, yeah, excited to get cracking.

01:23 Max's race will be our first race and we're going to try and hit the ground running.

01:27 We had a decent season last year, a decent campaign and build on that for this year and

01:32 hopefully get a few more wins.

01:34 And fifth in the Classic last year in the car, what's the goal this time around?

01:39 Well, the goal is always to win the race.

01:41 I'm disappointed with fifth, but at the same time nothing to hang our head about.

01:46 That race can be a bit of a chook raffle at times and probably for me to win the prelim

01:52 night was good and then to lead the race and not win it was disappointing.

01:57 So, hopefully we're in that position again and I don't make the same mistake and capitalise

02:01 on a decent spot.

02:03 So, anything can happen with this sport, but the aim is definitely to come home on top.

02:09 Alright, well best of luck.

02:10 Thank you.

02:11 Thanks.

02:12 Thanks.
