The thrill of racing for Forrest is speed, competition, and adrenaline rush!  His most exciting racing moment was winning the Turkey Shootout.  Forrest's son thought he won a million dollars but it was really $1000.  He's most proud of the interaction between racing and his sons, Steven and Shawn.

Forrest's racing hero is Buzzie Retuiman.

Of racing, Forrest says, "You have to earn what you get.  They aren't going to give it to you, so instead you have to go and take it!".
