Dirt Hub: Do you have a Pre-Race Playlist you listen too, and if so name a couple of tracks that are on it?
Josh: Don’t usually listen to music on race day, but on the drive down I have some old school Sum 41, Linkin Park, Reel Big Fish, sometimes go the other direction with some UB40 as it reminds me of going racing with my Dad.
DH: When was the last time you cried?
Josh: When my dog died last year
DH: What is your favourite inspirational quote?
Josh: Don’t wait for opportunity. Create it.
DH: Do you have any weird suspicions or pre-race rituals?
Josh: I just make sure my bladder is empty before heading down to the gate
