We want to keep them both here. I was working the start line microphone for our livestream and interviewed them both, and despite Beards reputation preceding him he was very open and willing to discuss whatever I threw at him.
And as for Cory, a racer who I loved so much as a kid that I went out and sourced a McDonalds sponsorship for my Junior Dragster, just so my car would look like his? They guy is a legend. Down to earth and just happy to be racing.
The thing that struck me the most about Beard was this quote: "I love coming here and racing with Santo. It's like the NHRA was in the 80's and 90's, back when it was fun".
