Jerel said that Matt told him where he grew up, they had a lot of dirt tracks and he was always interested in the cars, but never had the chance to try it. This was his big chance, and Jerel gave him a ride he would never forget.

I'm trying to imagine Matt Stell, who is 6 foot 7 inches tall, trying to squeeze into the car. After the ride, Matt gave Jerel a shoutout from the big stage thanking him for the experience.
