AS: Other than Barber Dodge which you've been in, and go-karting, and now you're in Toyota Atlantic, are there any other racing series that you would like to pursue?
DP: My line has kind of been to become successful open-wheel race car driver whatever that may be. Whether that's Cart, whether that's IRL, whether that's Formula 1, I don't know. That's my goal.
AS: I read somewhere that you do a 26-pose, 90 minute in extreme heat type of yoga in preparation for racing.

DP: It's called Bikram, it's pretty popular and it's a lot of fun. I don't do it as much as I used to because I moved back home to Illinois. I used to do it everyday in Ohio.
AS: So what's hotter, the race car or the yoga?
DP: The yoga!
AS: What's the hottest you have ever been in a race car?
DP: I was in a race car that had a closed top. It was a Ferrari 550 Marinello that I raced in Road Atlanta and I think it got up to 160 or 180 (degrees Fahrenheit).
