JUSTIN ALLGAIER, NO. 51 BRANDT PROFESSIONAL AGRICULTURE CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Media Day at Daytona International Speedway. Partial transcript:

WHAT ARE SOME KEY TRAITS THAT MAKE A GOOD RACE CAR DRIVER? “You can boil it down to attitude, patience and feel. I would say patience is probably my weakest point. I struggle just because we go to the limit of what the car gives us. I would say a lot of us would say we can drive a lot harder than what the car can hold. My patience issue is that when I don’t feel where I want to be, I tend to over-drive the car which ultimately slows me down.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–Daytona Media Day–Justin Allgaier →

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Media Day at Daytona International Speedway. Full Transcript:

JIMMIE JOHNSON: You definitely have a plan. You want to be the last car in a big group, so whenever that group rolls, you want to be towards the end, and everybody knows that, so it’s going to be very interesting, and I think we saw that at Talladega, where people were playing the waiting game and left pit road without enough time to even come back and take the green.

JAMIE MCMURRAY, NO. 1 MCDONALD’S CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Media Day at Daytona International Speedway. Full Transcript:

HOW DO YOU CONSERVE FUEL?
“I think everyone kind of has their own way of going about it. Since fuel injection has come along and you have some data you can try to do a better job at that and actually see how you are doing. When we go to a test they typically will put the miles per gallon or the laps per gallon on the dash. If you are making a 50 lap run you can try different techniques. I think each track it’s maybe a little bit different at. For me normally what I do is try it three or four different ways, take notes and then when you go back for the race and you need to try to save gas then you kind of have a plan.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–Daytona Media Day–Jamie McMurray →

CASEY MEARS, NO. 13 GEICO CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Media Day at Daytona International Speedway. Full Transcript:

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE?
“I think that really people are everything in our sport. I mean obviously budge and having a strong organization that puts a good group of people together is very important, but at the same time as a small group we have kind of had the same group of guys for quite a while. I think we have a good group of people and it’s important to have people that work well together. In the past I have been with some teams where they kind of put an all-star line-up in for a team and it’s a lot of really good individual people that area really good at their job, but if they don’t work well together it’s not a good team. I think that over the course of time we have put together a good team, a good program, guys that know their place and enjoy what they do and aren’t trying to do the other guys job. Having a good team and a good moral and good people that work well together is important.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–Daytona Media Day–Casey Mears →

CAN TESTING TURN A TEAM’S PERFORMANCE AROUND, OR IS IT OVERRATED?

Q. Talk about your full‑time chief for this year, and what are your thoughts about it?
DANICA PATRICK: Not necessarily, but, you know, I trust the team that they’ll make good decisions for me and do the best thing for me and for the team overall. They know that I worked with Daniel back in 2012 when I did 10 races with Zipadelli. He was the engineer, and they knew that I got along with him and liked him. It’s all a big balancing act in the team, especially a big team. Continue reading Chevy Racing–Daytona Media Day–Danica Patrick →
