Apparently he didn't know. His wife made the decision not to tell him until after his start. (eom) StevieM Oct 2015 #1

I said above that he wasn't told because that is what the announcers said on Fox. I am not sure which one is true.

Was praising him for doing so well under the circumstances. But, the interview with Yost made it seem like he didn't know. So, both stories are being told.
