I don't necessarily think being successful means you have to be a role model. I think, you do what you want to do, and what you have to do, and that is that. If you have an interest in helping kids, then help kids. If you have an interest in bringing drunk, hot chicks back to your bus, then that's all well and good too.
If this guy can party it up the night before a race, and still kick ass, good for him, who is anyone to tell him that's wrong. Who knows, maybe gettin laid while piss ass drunk before a race somehow puts his body in better shape, and who can say otherwise while he's winning. I'm kind of intrigued by his attitude, and want to see what happens. I like that he doesn't want to be governed, and wants to do his thing.
Who knows... all I know is one way or another he gets down faster than everyone else.
(keep in mind I am a young single guy with no kids... the role model thing may change )
