Reporters managed to catch up with, and get an interview from GTP Series Driver/Owner BKGlover today. It's a landmark achievement as he was rumored to not truly exist, managing to escape the confines of the tracks run so far this season without drawing any attention even from his own team. This was also his first interview pertaining to the series, his only previous public record being a brief, prepared statement after the team was forced to move just after preseason testing. Reporter Michelangelo Babbaganooshe caught up with him outside of a local fast-food restaurant as he was preparing to leave......
Reporter: Mr. Glover! Can we ask you some questions?
BKG: *sigh* *muttering* OK, but you have to tell me how you knew I'd be here?
R: We got a tip saying you get lunch here constantly.
G: Uh huh. Time to change the routine then. (Opens truck door) Well, (Climbs into seat, turn toward reporter) what do you want to know?
R: The season is underway, and while you have been competitive, you have had two engine failures govern your start. Given that you could have easily been in the middle of the big one at Daytona, and the close call coming off of the final turn early at Watkins Glen, what is your feeling on these failures?
G: Cali was a good rebound, but yes the Yates engines have let us down. That's not to say that operator abuse wasn't an issue though. I tend to be hard on whatever I'm using, and generally I will not hesitate to wear anything smooth out before replacing or repairing it. Happy? Not on your life, but talking with Mr. Yates gave some insight.
R: First top 10 of the season last race at Auto Club Speedway. Can you make it two at Talladega?
G: Assume the worst, work for the best. We can, but we can also end up doing a 1080 triple-axel front flip.
R: Why 'The Y', and the use of the old logo?
G: It seems to be a worth-while organization that doesn't get much outward support. Camp Grady Spruce is one of my best childhood memories, even if it was only for a week. As for the logo, it's distinctive, the new one is a bland bubbled-letter with no distinction. If you see the old 'Y', you know what's up. One more before I head out.
R: Any other 'sponsors' for the season?
G: (devious smile emerges) I've got some things organized. You'll have to wait and see though.
