Episode 221: Carson Kvapil

JR Motorsports driver Carson Kvapil joins Davey Segal (8:20) on the heels of his impressive 4th-place finish in his Xfinity Series debut. The two discuss what the lead up to the race was like, leaning on Bubba Pollard, Josh Berry and Dale Earnhardt Jr. among others, how tire conservation came into play, why his CARS Tour background helped and his relationship with crew chief Andrew Overstreet. He also dives into his CARS Tour success, defending his Late Model Stock title this year, missing Hickory this past weekend and what it's going to take to make up the lost ground, how competitive the series is and how Xfinity compared, why he had two different firesuits at Martinsville, what it was like winning at North Wilkesboro Speedway last year and more, including where he sees himself in 5 years and the influence his father, Travis, has had on him. Davey also discusses the current short track product in the Cup Series, what could potentially be done to fix it and looks ahead to Texas Motor Speedway. Plus, Papa Segal pays homage to one of the greatest racers of all time.
