368 - A JGR trucker takes us to the San Diego race

from Five to Go Podcast · host Doug Turnbull

Doug, Devin, and Dan welcome Steve Tidmore, one of the hauler drivers for Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 54 NOAPS team. Tidmore shares how he got the gig, the challenge of trying to sleep during races, the logistics of rotating drivers on the long drive out west, and how truckers had to drive on the bumpy San Diego course to get parked. Then the gang discusses Hamlin's triumph at Pocono, what they expect at Michigan, Jesse Love's move to the Wood Brothers, and the question Jenna Fryer raised about modern media. They also remember legendary NASCAR reporter Steve Waid, Doug's old friend Mark Sims, and share a Gordon Pirkle update.
