ABOUT

“The Suave” was born and raised in Arizona. Yup, that’s 30+ years of pain as a Phoenix sports fan. Now slightly less painful talking about motorsports.

How long have you been a race fan?

When I had the lyrics to Magic Carpet Ride stuck in my head from playing NASCAR Thunder 2003.

Ever had a career before motorsports?

Covering Phoenix sports on Fox Sports 910 and propping up the Kenny & Crash show. Hell yea!

Where'd you go to college?

Well known hockey school, THE Arizona State University!

Hometown?

Where the cactus flourish and sunsets are freakin’ spectacular. Phoenix baby!

When?

We’ve already covered that.

So how old are you?

220+ in dog years and aka “The Residential Millennial.”

Until I get an answer...

I’ll keep my old AF Arizona Coyote’s gear boxed up and sport my Lewis Hamilton Ferrari swag like I MEAN it!

Who's your favorite sports team?

My favorite team left me for Utah. Thye went for milk and never returned. So I guess it’s the Diamondbacks & Suns for now.

Favorite film?

Follow me on Letterboxd for mad movie insight @ reflores.

Recurring dream?

I can’t tie my hockey skate laces.

Favorite dream?

Carrying Lewis Hamilton’s backpack.

Favorite actress?

Florence Pugh

Favorite friends?

Oh, THEY know who they are.

Favorite personal moment?

When I got a hug from Kenny Sargent. Why? The Flores’ don’t hug. Ever.

Favorite political moment?

Not this one.

Favorite motorsports moment?

Dale Jr’s 2004 Daytona 500 win  and my first NHRA race where I shart in my kakis.

Favorite music group?

Twenty One Pilots and Taylor Swift. Deal.

Favorite song?

Love Song by Ramsey Lewis backed by Earth Wind & Fire. If I was put to music, that’s what I’d sound like.

What's on your playlist?

Half the ***t you wouldn’t know and the other half I’m too lazy to insert in the space. Remember, I am the “residential millennial.”

Can you be more specific?

Yes. But I won’t.

Like?

Go away already!

Yes, and I'm asking the questions...

Your arrogance is becoming a nuisance. You annoy me…

Why?

Right now just because it’s you. Normally it’s just because I’m arrogant enough for several people.
