Cool. I like Sean. I have gotten to know quite a few 'famous' people. I put that in quotes cause outside of that field nobody knows who they are...lol. My son used to race karts and got the chance to race with a few current and former NASCAR and IndyCar drivers (Jamie McMurray, Eric Jones, Josef Newgarden, Sage Karam, Austin Self, Matt Tifft, Santino Ferruci, Mark Dismore, and a few others). Got to be pretty good friends with Mark Dismore and his son Mark Jr and Eric Jones and pitted with them and their teams at nationals. They were normal cool guys but we were all racers so nobody oohed and awed over them. We just hung out like we did with everybody else. Not just us but everybody at the track. You just said hi as you walked by or maybe asked how their day was going. We even pitted and hung out with a few and still keep in contact with a couple. Another was a former top offensive lineman from the Rams and Browns (Ryan Tucker). His kids raced with mine. Funny thing is I talked to him for a whole year without knowing he was a former NFL star...lol. After I found out I just mentioned I didn't know he played ball. We never talked about football again after that and I think he appreciated that. I'm sure if somebody followed them around like a puppy dog wanting pictures and an autograph they wouldn't have been as friendly.
