DeSantis 24 Owens Make America Florida Shirt, hoodie, tank top
He gets after it. Only now, when his boys call to see if he wants to throw down, he has to check his online calendar. If the next morning is free, and if it’s before Wednesday, look out. He’s got a boxing ring in his house, and, at his 30th birthday party got into it with Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down, boxer Arturo Gatti and bull rider Ross Coleman. It was, like, 5 a.M. Arnold kept losing a contact, and Junior got laid out by Coleman. He had a black eye at that week’s race.
“I still do s— now that I would do when I was 25,” he says, “and I’m like, ‘Why the f— did I do that?’ You know, when I go raise hell until 9 o’clock in the morning, party all night. That damn Red Bull will get your ass.”
There are all sorts of stories about his dad running rental cars ragged, wrecking four-wheelers and acting like an adolescent. One man burning up an engine is another man guzzling Red Bull. One man’s Sunday Money is another man’s Sheezahooker. Junior is the way he is for a reason. Rebellion flows through his veins. The crowd at the Long Island Irish bar loves that about him; everyone screams until he walks off the stage, down the stairs, into the night.
The show’s finished. Everybody piles into a rental car. A fan runs out into the street, yelling incoherently. The trip to the Atlantic FBO at the Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y., is short. His jet sits ready on the tarmac. Junior goes through the terminal and boards the plane. It screams down the runway, lifting off, headed toward Watkins Glen. He leans back and opens a book about shipwrecks and castaways. His day is almost over.
Tomorrow, he’ll do it again.
