Lolo Jones suggests that bobsledding provided her with a necessary physical and mental break from the rigorous demands of track and field.

“bobsled gave me a break because I actually had to gain weight for bobsled so I was able to live a little bit more I was able to eat you know cheeseburgers when I wanted to and pizza not feel guilty about it”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finds bobsledding similar to car racing and appreciates the intensity of the sport.

“Well, the bobsled's cool because to me that's kind of close to racing a car.”
