We’re back for season two of Off the Wall With… and we’ve got five brand-new questions for your favorite racing personalities! This week: journeyman racer Timmy Hill:
- What was your first race car and what number was it?
Timmy Hill: My first racecar was a go kart and it was No. 4. It’s always been my number growing up until I got to NASCAR, but it’s my favorite number.
- What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you during a race?
Hill: Probably going four wide at Daytona. (That’s) probably the craziest thing just about every year.
- What was the first concert you ever attended?
Hill: A concert … I don’t go to concerts too much. The only concert I’ve ever been to was at HPU. I don’t remember who played. I don’t go to concerts.
Friend: You went to the one down in Daytona on the beach.
Hill: I forget who played there, too!
- What’s the best practical joke you were ever involved in, as either perpetrator or victim?
Hill: Probably on a golf course right before my brother swings the club, I blew an air horn at him. I do things like that on a regular basis.
- What was the worst thing you hid from your parents as a kid?
Hill: Putting a hole in the wall. We were little kids. We were horsing around.
