Maybe he hasn't raced in almost a year because he's not allowed too, after all he bragged about drinking lots of koma unwind just before he crashed his car
When people say hobby, they don't really mean driving (he's a terrible driver) as the hobby. They just mean being around racing, at races, sponsoring, buying racing trucks, buying transport semis, etc. That type of thing is the hobby. I'm surprised no one mentioned the Dayton 500 sponsorship. I watched the race after the rain delay and can honestly say I didn't see the car nor the sponsorship nor was it mentioned ever on air. I'm sure the 2 shareholders in the stands will say they saw it.
