Q: You have raced and driven just about everything. Is there something past or present that you would have loved to have tried driving but for whatever reason were not able to do? – Brian H. (Facebook)
A.J.: “No, because everything I wanted to race in, I was able to get a ride.”
Q: Have you ever tried a race simulator? If not, it would be interesting! – Brian C. (Facebook)
A.J.: “No, that’s not racing. I never wanted to even though people have wanted me to try it but for me it would just be a waste of time. I have too many other things I want to do.”
Q: I just had a “maybe-crazy” idea after watching the virtual Nascar race on FoxS1. If he doesn’t have one of those set-ups, someone needs to deliver one to the ranch, sanitize it good, let him practice on it and have a race with his protege, Tony Stewart and somehow share it with us. If it were at all possible, would he do it? Could be a dream come true for Tony! And a lot of us! – Brenda D. (Facebook)
A.J.: “I never cared about simulator stuff. If I were to do anything, I’d want to race him in a car.”
Q: Did you ever drive that tractor into a lake? Bill Puterbaugh was good at that (driving vehicles into lakes). – Janet S. (Facebook)
A.J.: “I didn’t drive a tractor into a lake but I drove my bulldozer into one. I was doing some work and it got slick and slidin’ and I thought I could make it and all of sudden was off in the lake. And then I turned one upside down in the lake too, when it fell off the side.”
Q: What’s your dozer of choice AJ? Caterpillar hi-drive or K series or Komatsu, John Deere, Case or have you tried the full-on hydrostatic Liebherr dozers? – Howard B. (Facebook)
A.J.: “My dozers are John Deere and Cats but as far as tractors, I like John Deere better than all of them.”
