HUMPHREYS HAS HEARD THE CRITICS AND LAUGHS AT THEM

Humpreys, against the odds, bet on his team’s focus on winning.

Let the record reflect the “unofficial” betting pool focused on Justin Humphreys, Richard Maskin and Bob Glidden came and went with no winner. Well, maybe one – Justin Humphreys.

Humphreys is the only one that put his cash down on the alliance surviving a mixture of colorful personalities.

“There was some that said our association with Richard wouldn’t last more than two races,” said Humphreys, smiling as he spoke. “Then Glidden came on board and those same people were putting money that Glidden wouldn’t stay past one race. Then it was Indy. Here we are in our second year. Hopefully we have a few more to go.” HUMPHREYS HAS HEARD THE CRITICS AND LAUGHS AT THEM

Humpreys, against the odds, bet on his team’s focus on winning. The desire to win all trumps all the negativity.

“I knew we'd make it,” Humphreys said. “We're easy to get along with, us and all our guys.  All it takes is team work and you act like a big family.”

Glidden hasn’t been shy of his praise of Humphreys. Such a thing has been a bit more than Humpreys feels he's worthy of at this time, but he’s not reading the press releases. Instead he’s listening to the gospel that Glidden preaches in the pits.
 
“He's a legend and he's been there and done everything,” Humphreys said. “He's been great to me, he's taught me a lot and he's teaching me new stuff everyday.  He's got our car working the best it's ever been.”

Humphreys pointed out that a Glidden tip is immediately accepted and he refuses to make a mistake the second time.

“If he tells me to do something I just get out there and do it,” Humpreys admitted.  “Just do what he wants to see and hope it works.”

Then there’s the trademark Glidden smile. What's it like to see him smile?

“Oh it's great,” Humpreys said. “When he's smiling you know it's a good thing.”
