Episode 190: Ryan Bergenty
from Victory Lane Hosted by Davey Segal
Rookie crew chief Ryan Bergenty joins Davey Segal this week (6:10) to discuss his inaugural foray into full-time crew chiefing in the Cup Series. Coming off the first and only off weekend of the year, Bergenty explains what lies ahead for the No. 38 team at Front Row, how his adjustment to being the shot caller of an entire team has been, his comfort level, leaning on teammates like Travis Peterson and Chris Lawson and how him landing the position actually wound up starting as a joke between he and General Manager Jerry Freeze. Bergenty also explains why he famously (literally) cut down the walls int he shop, what “Lion Mode” means to him, his racing background beginning in the Northeast that saw stops at Chip Ganassi Racing and Furniture Row Racing, among others, the tricky situation of Todd Gilliland and Zane Smith sharing the No. 38 ride this season and more, including a preview of Nashville Superspeedway this weekend. Papa Segal pays homage to the No. 90 and Davey briefly previews NASCAR’s trip to the Music City.
