I've been wondering how you were coping with not being behind the wheel? Probably not the greatest question to ask on a public forum, but in my case it got in my blood. So now I watch a couple of YouTuber truckers going down the road to get my fix now days.I'm a little surprised to see that hauler has the generator for the trailer mounted on the truck. Most of the teams have gotten away from that and have opted to have them on the trailer. The weather looks a little damp in at their shop also. It sucks when you pull out of the shop with a nice clean rig and you know it will be dirty before you hit the interstate.
Yesterday was the test when I went to the shop and went over some things with the new driver and then watched the hauler pull out of the shop and head out of site heading to Phoenix. But I kind of feel like I was still in the truck because I knew everything that was going on during his trip. I got a call from one of the other teams hauler driver that I use to run with and he said that he just got passed in western AZ by our hauler and then my replacement called me at the truck wash in Phoenix to ask me some questions and then again when he fueled and then twice at the track last night and then again this morning. I'm sure there will be a few more calls and texts before the week is over. I really haven't had the time yet to know how I'm going to cope not being out there... but it helps knowing that I have the option to pick any races I want to do and do them if I want.I've been wondering how you were coping with not being behind the wheel?

That’s the way I felt in the Army whenever we left the motor pool.
If you see a pic of someone standing around with tears in his eyes at the hauler parade next week in Fontana...that's probably me.

yeah that's pretty telling right there. The yoders aren't getting off to a good start so far #wingsclipped
I dunno how long they've been doing it, but you'd think they'd try something dodgy on one car first. Maybe they figured if they all looked the same, NASCAR would just assume that's what a '20 Toyota was supposed to look like?
Too bad the #96 didn't get the word.
they said Nascar warned the teams at the end of last year they were going to start cracking down on it.

Magnets work really well to tell the difference
Yeah I think it is there, couldn't happen to a better bunch IMO.
I don't have a lot of faith in Almirola. I think this style of elbows up racing isn't his cup of tea.
How about anybody expecting Jimmie Johnson to be fastest in the final practice
It’s a pleasant surprise.
Eh, lets not read into that too much right now. Give these guys some time to get adjusted.
You won't be calling anyone a liar my friend.
