I want to know who made those valves, the fact that you were floating a valve at 7500 rpm for half the race and it didn't break is impressive

I was working the pits for Brad Smith and the 48 team. I heard you pass when the spring broke . You could hear the pitch change in the engine. You did good staying in the draft. It’s all about learning at this point. I know you will never see this comment but if you do , thanks for bringing eyes back to arca!

The in car view with the spotter being heard makes the experience infinitely better. In car views are good but can get a little boring after a minute with no context but listening to him talking about things you can’t see and moving accordingly just added so so much more to it. I’m really hoping the next race you can post more in car with spotter because that was just top notch. Awesome

Garret owes a big shoutout to his spotter Kevin Hamlin! He drove Garret just like Garret drove the car and the two did it flawlessly never losing the draft, going high, going low, Garret performed. DO IT FOR DALE!!!

Bro, if they actually broadcast nascar like this with the spotter and driver talking with in cam camera all race id watch every damn once. I'm not even a nascar fan but this gives you a whole different perspective. Please keep doing these.
