Mike ‘Rocky’ Rockenfeller believes the buzz from NASCAR’s entry in Le Mans is still going strong, and he’s still relishing having the opportunity to be a part of it. Rockenfeller compares the dynamic of the experience to his past trips to compete in Le Mans; the adjustment as a driver of not racing for an overall victory; if he believes the entry did just as much for sports cars as it did NASCAR; how much it means to be full-time again; the eye-opening experience of looking for a ride after 15 years with Audi; the tall task of getting a new program competitive in IMSA; where the team is after only having two races against GTP competition; how he got into karting and then his path to being a factory driver; the surprise of early and consistent success; the thrill of sports car racing for Rockenfeller; experiencing his first baseball game in the U.S.; the story behind his nickname.
