“Since the race we had a lot of stress on us because one, just not being able to talk about it [winning $1 million] or anything, it has put a lot of stress on both of us and we have had some relationship troubles that we’ve been constantly working on. Chip and I love each other very much and we’ve always been committed to making sure the other person is happy. Nothing like that is going to change.

Would you please put married [in the supers]?’ They took it all the way up to the executives, and it got approved, and we were thrilled.”
