After playing football all his life, first at Eastern Kentucky University, then with the Giants and Patriots, Guyton's body simply couldn't handle any more punishment. It's rough when you can wake up in the morning and know if it's raining just by how your body feels. So Guyton has found a new outlet for his energy. Guyton also spends a significant amount of time at his three DeKalb County Burger Kings. But then Thursday night rolls around, and Guyton is strapped into his Legends car, screeching around the quarter-mile track, trying to find speed.
Legends racing certainly fits that bill.
In fact, Guyton enjoyed racing so much that he bought a second car, which is usually driven by his nephew, Corey Guyton. That's why I let other guys drive my car. At least I won't be last. In his five Thursday Thunder races at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Guyton's best finish is 11th. He doesn't bother so much with his own results, though, because he sees Legends racing as his link to the future, when he would like to become a car owner in an even larger racing series.
