Personal Life
Easley is a huge fan of NASCAR, despite personally being involved in a crash at Lowe's Motor Speedway near Concord, North Carolina, in 2003. He was behind the wheel of Jimmie Johnson's #48 Lowe's Chevrolet Monte Carlo, when it hit a retaining wall going 120 mph. He was not seriously hurt, since he was wearing a head-and-neck restraint at the time.
Easley is also an avid amateur woodworker, and appeared on an episode of The Woodwright's Shop where he made a walnut table.

I waited,
I was circumspect;
O never, never, never write that I
missed life or loving.”
