Ep. 316 | Wayne Auton

Wayne Auton, the NASCAR Xfinity Series managing director, returns to the podcast as he wraps up his tenure in the garage. Auton shares what it’s been like to go through this year and how folks have treated him; plans for 2025; going through the adjustment of what comes next and a changing lifestyle; how he views being a resource in the future; drivers wanting to share their success with him; what he wanted to get out of the final season; the drivers who stand out having seen them grow and get to where they are now; memorable moments from inside the hauler; the hauler being a place for teams as much as NASCAR; the chances of still being surprised this long on the job; staying aware of everything involved with the series; dealing with the coming and going of drivers on a frequent basis; what he is most proud of from his tenure in the role as it comes to an end.  Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall
