True/False is a feature on NASCAR.COM, where one driver, owner or crew chief share three unique stories about themselves that go beyond their lives on the track. Two are true, one is false. When you've finished reading all three, scroll down past the photo to learn which story is false.

1. One of the coolest things I have gotten to do since being a Cup driver was a chance to fly with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds outside Las Vegas. Despite my love to drive fast, I am afraid of heights.

2. I lived in three different places growing up before I became a Cup driver. I started racing quarter-midgets when I was 6 years old in Connecticut, then we moved to Atlanta so my sister could pursue her career in ballroom dancing. I raced around Atlanta Motor Speedway in Legends cars and eventually moved to Charlotte.

3. I learned to drive a stick shift when I was under 10 years old in a beat up old car around my father's garbage company. He put wooden blocks on the pedals and I would use the dumpsters as my own road course.
