Don’t think you guys get enough credit for all you do leading up to and during race weekend, love your POV to see what a weekend is like for you! Drive safe, have a great year thanks for content!!
I just wanna say this is an amazing channel, you're able to give us insight's we'd never see with super raw takes. (my first video was you going out of bristol, you having enough balls to keep in the struggle to get it in fourth in that stressful situation, much respect man, all us truckers know that feeling.) Safe travel's!
Great video of what a truck driver experiences when entering the smaller tracks. It looks to be stressful and nerve wracking at the same time! Im retired from UPS after 28years as a tractor and trailer driver. I did the overnight logistics run to Richmond, Va and loved my job. I also had 1million miles of safe driving. I always thought I'd like to have a job like yours. After seeing the entry into Bristol and Dover I'll pass lol. Im enjoying my retirement. Props to you and those puckering moments. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Only live car race I ever went to was on a small dirt track in the Sydney, BC area in 1970 with my Canadian cousin. This is the total other end of the scale!
I think eliminating races at some of the older, smaller tracks and then building huge and very expensive tracks to replace them in the schedule took a lot of fun out of the races. IMO, it made the ticket prices out of reach for a lot of us.
You mean have we forgotten equipment at the shop or track? I don't think I've ever left anything at the shop that I couldn't get at the track, but I have left tools and things like that at the track accidentally before.
@MotorRacingNGravy let's do this me drive that big truck and we will talk. I almost forgot. I have been to Rockingham, Darlington a few times and Charlotte some.
Just curious. Is one of the biggest issues not having all 3 series at North Wilkesboro All Star weekend is getting the haulers staged and in and out of the facility over the weekend? Bc I feel if they’re wanting to push 3 day packages there should be trucks on Friday, Xfinity Saturday, and Cup Sunday like they did with Texas. What’s your thoughts?
The Xfinity series doesn't run North Wilkesboro, and the smaller tracks where we do all run (like Martinsville) we either stagger the series to allow one to be gone before the last one parks, OR the first series in will unload their haulers and park outside the track until the event is over
@@MotorRacingNGravyjust remember you can do something that your drive can’t do and would possibly would scratch the paint job on that beautiful hauler.
Ok ! ya i didn t know they were rentals I driven long term rental Cascadia trucks for a big transport and all the trucks were Rider and a few pensky Also our reefers were Riders ! i m retired now ! trucking Canada coast to Coast for 35 years !Hey ! thanks for responding ! be safe !🤠@@7viewerlogic670

Those are NASCAR officials, and it's almost always the same guys. The only exception being when the three series are racing at different tracks on a given weekend
If you check out the channel, I've done a few videos on this topic. Short answer is just start handing in resumes. Teams occasionally need back up drivers and that's how most drivers get started
If you check out the channel, I've made a couple videos about this, but the short answer is to make up a good looking resume and cover letter and start handing them out to teams
@@MotorRacingNGravy I've been driving commercialy for almost 15 years and currently I'm in a specialized division called saddleback piggyback I deliver brand new semi trucks from the manufacturer to the dealerships around the US and Canada. I have 2.3 million miles under my belt. Thank you for reading my message
So, you think I should throw in a song and dance? Maybe a clown costume? It's a guy driving a truck. Probably shouldn't expect to spend much time on the edge of your seat 🤷
