During the interview, the NBC Sports analyst spoke about his world outside of Motorsports. Junior revealed his regular night routine with his wife, Amy. They relax by watching TV before going to bed. He acknowledged being lured by sloth at such times. He was tempted to pick something hygiene-related but ruled it out, not wanting to become a laughingstock among the public.

However, he confessed, “You know what? I’m just going to close my eyes and go to sleep. But I need to get up and brush my teeth. So it’d be nice not to have to do that ever again if your teeth are just magically clean.” 

What an unexpected yet honest answer! After all, it’s human to feel lethargic at times. Well, with the way the veteran drives, some might question it. Eventually, Junior made his pick.
