You say it was an eye. Opener

Griff all right, Hailie. I have
got to ask you.
I follow NASCAR and I remember
it is hard to believe it was
this year,
but way back in February,
Daytona five hundred you had tweeted. You
wanted to get your helmet signed
by President Trump.
Of course, the president went.
He drove the Weist around the
track at Daytona.
What was it like to meet the
President get youre helmet
signed and what are your
thoughts today?
That was a crazy experience.
I didnt even know if I was
going to pull it off.
I literally just made that
Tweet
Donald Trump Jr ended up
reaching out to me.
We connected and W. We figured it
all out. The details and stuff
got to take your helmet and
everything and make sure it
pass.
They did that took my helmet.
I was walking around the Daytona
five hundred with my helmet all day and
able to meet him and his wife,
and you will Donald Jr
the whole family. Was there a
cool experience?
Not many people get an
experience of meeting the
president in their lifetime.
Just to be able to say I was
able to do that was so awesome
Griff. What did he say to you,
the president?
He asked first how I did in
the race.
I told him. I ended up getting
second
first, he asked if I race. I said
I do race.
I have my helmet and asked him
to sign it.
It was cool the interest he took
into it and how many questions
he was asking and super
personable and just a real good,
true human being
and having real conversation
Griff. I hope you told him you
were the camping truck world
rookie of the year at nineteen years
old
yeah,
so that was definitely at the
beginning of the year. So I
didnt have that title yet,
but we definitely have had a
lot of success through our
career and this year we have
gotten a lot of things
accomplished and going on to
bigger things in the future.
We look forward to it.
We wish you well Hailie.
