5 regrets of an ex pro racer: 1. Half assing weekly prep 2. Not pushing to max every lap in a race car 3. Finding things to blame other than myself 4. Believing the lie that I’m limited by “natural ability” 5. Not surrounding myself with people who challenged me

This is such a great example for young racers. I fell prey to the victim “our sport is broken” mindset when I was driving. It’s incorrect. We all get an opportunity at some point in time. Focus, be positive, put in the work, and bet on yourself. Congrats, Matt!

For those saying it’s too much wear- yes because for 10 years everyone has blasted into the tire without concern. Watch them adapt as this race goes on- it will become very tactical on leveraging pace vs duration of run.

Winners do things that losers don’t want to do. They pay a price others are not willing to. There is no such thing as balance when you want to be the best at something. Obsessive pursuit of perfection is all there is.

Conditions for @CLTMotorSpdwy are harsh today. 120+ degree car temps will take their toll physically and mentally on the field. Drivers will lose between ~9-11% (gross) of their body weight in fluids and if we do a good job, we will keep the net loss to ~2% #nascar

Two things I love about @TonyStewart comments today. 1. Rarely are drivers developed. We’ve always lined them up and pushed them into the deep end. Last one swimming is “developed”. 2. You don’t know how good someone’s going to be in the long haul until they have crashed HARD.

3 life lessons I learned from racing cars for 25 years: 1. Look where you want to go. 2. Maximize your own vehicles potential, and don’t get caught in other people’s race. 3. Grip is always changing and you need to adjust your inputs to match potential outputs.

Peak reaction and processing around age 19, peak short term memory around age 25. As drivers and teams optimize preparation and development for athletes, we will see this trend continue. Drivers will have to work harder to maintain skills as younger drivers develop more rapidly.
