Jay says "Loved NASCAR as a kid, back in the days of Richard Petty, David Pearson, The Allisons, Cale Yarbrough, Buddy Baker etc.....Interest was randomly rekindled in 2000 and have been loving it since then.
After 20+ years on the trading floors of The Chicago Board of Trade, I'm headed in a new direction and am starting college 1/19/2010."
