Just a wonderful guy.

I'm pretty sure it was 2022 at - I'm guessing here - Leogang, when Danny came 2nd behind Matt Walker and he was interviewed while holding one of their little kids, and Danny said the best part of the whole week was that he had his family with him.

Fast forward to Snowshoe: Danny was interviewed and said during the interview that his wife was having a baby and there were some complications. He was clearly distraught, and the interviewer was tone deaf. Danny was in 4th overall at that point (6th race of 8) and his family came first. He would end up 9th overall that season after missing the last race of the season to be with his family.

I love this guy, not just for his racing but for what a quality man he is.

Hurray, the return of 17 Questions! Something I really like about Mr. Hart is the way he hides an amazing personality behind the lazy Northern drawl. I’ll never forget the post-race interview he gave after his Snowshoe win in ‘19, one of the best ever.

What a lad. Pretty sick to hear his confidence going into the season. I feel like people tend to write him off since he's been racing for so long. Would love to see Danny back up there!
