“I absolutely have to start with this. The town I grew up in had a population of 1,500 people. It had one stoplight. So to be standing where I am today is absolutely mind-boggling. I say that because people have asked me if this is a dream come true, and I’m telling you, I couldn’t even think about dreaming such a thing where I came from.”

Fans also sent their congratulations, with one fan making it clear he “deserves to be there, but it seems like they shouldn’t get in until they are done.”
