A sponsor re up so former teammate returns a new card number and landed council was found a comfort level. With front row motor sports. But that's not all taken due probably to have firemen and this year I'm were detained in this is contracts. On the motor racing network. Off season what offseason about what I do so are doing every cover they enjoy teams don't just shut down for two months over the winner in NASCAR today we'll keep you up to speed racing this is just part of our life the new season is just around the corner just out there for the cures the fact that we love it.

Chris butcher got structural motor sports plenty of attention last year by winning at pocono and making the chase. The second year driver will be a teammate to AJ all the victory JPG majority racing and when he seventeenth. While David Reagan rejoins front row and earn the organization's first when at Talladega back in 2013. Landed Cassel returned to the team shifting from the number 38. The number 34. I chatted with a recently justice sponsor loves announced that they were returning for the fifth straight year. They'll be council's primary sponsor for eighteen races this season. Yeah I'm really excited about less traveled south. Can't seem to to know them a little bit last year and you know they they've just it's a little over its from revelers Fortson and have grown their program over the years that I. I feel like they're giving even more this year than they've ever done. And I'd like to think this because I'm so special but it's it's really just. It's just part of the program churning in and and their belief in NASCAR. There's this thing this morning program. Now I hear every now and again they make their drivers pumped gas and clean windshields have you been through that program yet. Not yet. Particularly in my agreements do and complicated. That's got to be a good sense of security with all the swirl in the off season this seemed like this is a big time of change for everybody but that's got to be a good security feeling right. For sure I'm. You know it's just it's just a pleasure to have a sponsor on the car for many races. You know loves travel south of me on. At the season with a so. The they're they're like instant a great partner and and they're really excited about monster energy. Being the title sponsor an cup series that you know they they sell below that there's at their source so. There's there's definitely good partnership going on. The other big change the format now we're gonna have stages where you get points through the way instead of just at the end what do you think about that from a strategy stamp. Point. I think you I think it'll make the race is pretty interesting I think you're gonna see some very unique situations over the courses season. Where at the cautions fall at just the right time that is blitzed the field in half. And the field flip flop after this the first stage in and flip flops again after the second stage and and I think that there's a guillotine scene ago. Heard three quarters of the race and not really having a clue the dominant car is there's a really good chance of that so. It it'll it'll be interesting I think it was a good move the sport and I'm glad the drivers behind it I'm glad they're part of the announcement because I think that that really. Sets it. It's a threat. Of. That to me is a big part of it because it's not just like some exacts coming in saying okay here's what you guys are gonna do its real old school racers who grow up and coming up with this right. Yeah after surely. Nine and a Jeff Burton was was one of the original architects of this of this idea and and I guess I don't know if he wants to take a credit you know maybe I shouldn't speak for him too much but. Out of the way have a Kozlowski right grade but but it but honestly I mean it just shows that. That. That is a collaborative effort between NASCAR in the driver's end and the broadcast partners. And it shows that that that we all wanted something like this to happen not just. Not just one party. Next castle plans to go Iron Man again in 2017. I'm Steve both cohost of MRI and we mission.

Back to business with front row who your comfort levels got to be way up here I mean we talked a minute ago about changes. The musical tears Tommy you're settled down now but how is the comfort level with you guys now on how. Good is it from your perspective to work with guys that you already know instead of having to start over. That's that's key I mean that's a huge thing to do in return to the team I've ever seen crew chief with Donnie window pretty much the same teams last year so. That that does help an awful lot in Dayton and I expect a lot out of it nuts and they expect a lot out of me too and as violently and is it just worked my tail off this year and give them everything that guy. A cycle a bit of offseason amused air quotes if there is actually such a thing anymore. What's the most fun thing you got to do over the holidays. Man I just two weeks enjoyed spending time with him over the holidays we did go to Colorado for a week I really had fun with that they've thing a lot of snow while we're there and not much of this year but it's a great place to go work out and enjoy the the cold weather in the wintertime and and we we did some traveling up and up until new years really and and then that was it we shut it down and us and as much time it's on the spot at home it's possible continuing.
