Video Transcript

"In this episode, we're just going to talk about feedback between the driver and the crew. Feedback, I think, is the most important thing in racing. You know, being able to communicate with your crew chief. In this case my crew chief is Bill Ginns and Bill Goodrich and they are awesome to me. So, you know you have to feel the motor, if the motor is pulling off the corners right, or if it's just kind of lagging, that's gear. If the car is going into the corners right and coming out of it funny you know, then that, you know the height of your car, your frame rail up or down. You know, if your sliding through the corners and you just can't get any grip, your car is too loose. But if your sticking to the car and you just feel like you can't go anywhere, you know you may have too tight a car, you need to just come in and tell them exactly what the car is doing so that they can fix the problem and they, you know, they're watching your car and trying to figure it out too. But you know you are the only one that can tell them what is really happening out there. You're the driver you should be able to feel it in your butt."
