She further when on to explain that by saying, “With racing, I drove the car, but I couldn’t set it up. None of that other stuff was part of me. I had people who planned all my schedules for everything, so there very few details that I had to worry about.”

“I just had to be sharp. I had to be present, and I had to deliver when the time came. So my switch was very on-off for the jobs that I had to do.”
