I think his opening lines really some up how Hoyt makes you feel... "I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck."

But after watching the video, and learning that the kid was actually quite aware, communicating, and the one who came up with the idea of racing - well, I have to agree that it's a very neat thing.
