In my area dot com. Spencer Gallagher joins us now movie driving in the NASCAR it's going to be serious four GMS racing next season. Spencer housing offseason go on free man. How it goes and pray. Different back toward the code that try to get data cars built and it beat you guys had a great year fast cars of course your teammate Johnny Sauter won the championship. Talking about of course in the NASCAR Camping World truck series Spencer about halfway through the season mid point what changed with their team to give you guys so much speed that towards the end of the year. You know I think at the end of the year at all for PMS struck EU really just saw. The the fruits of the labour is that we were undergoing for the first half of the year you know we all year long we were really trying to adopt them. Mine are are out and the platform get our handling right I think you saw that hard work pay off at the back accurately. Week we showed up to these places what the chase started and we are fortunate to be reckoned with at every single track can be able to pull off. Two wins in the chase between Martinsville Texas says that you do especially the first cable trucks pastries. And to win the first cable trucks they chased him bring that home perky and that's racing and that's. That's an accomplishment and I'm gonna carry out what these investment like it's it's a bit and so amazing to. Two walks displaced grew up at announcement and go from here to champion thirty suspense that's pretty cool me. You guys just had an outstanding year and I'm speaking at Glenn Jarrett. You know before one of our broadcast to get he said the guys made some changes internally somewhere towards the top what what kind of things as you change as far as crew chiefs and stuff like that. They gave you guys the success. You know about the middle of the year we had the opportunity to bring Duchscherer on from the double zero. And you and Johnny if you guys that won lots of races together in the past they they grew up knowing NATO and they're they're just too old friends so we thought we had the opportunity to put great synergy between driver and a crew chief in this year Johnny Sauter and that's exactly who we got out of every since he come on Joe's been great creative and performance. Force I'm down in the shop and every single week and that that's what one truck shut to the racetrack but the test. One of the more unique things is that you're actually a driver in the in the truck series you have actually had a good year as well some great finishes couple top fives looking back on the season as far as a driver what was or highlight the season. And I think down I think it's it's very good top that between the day. That GM Matt had at at Talladega haven't all worked trucks run up front all day long been so dominant to the end of that race. That was that the outlook or bad state is an organization ever if not our best we. We pretty much set the tone of that race I'd feel from beginning to end and we become aware of the victory. Would be better or Texas we are in the meeting Allegiant Travel related taxes. We heard led led the most laps had been added incredibly fast. Had fairly fast truck and residents are in the racial or we just kept getting hurt on pit stops so. You know the ones who get relief from either they're always the ones that are united. Paul back at the it is backing of mine and and are all excellent they're gonna echo around they're saying what it what it you know. Yet and I remember both of those races this year and specifically this Halladay go on the grant wanted. I don't think I've ever seen a driver got the car more happy that he lost in that situation with you because you are just so happy for her head Talladega or if. It's funny I help people. Couple years ago there are finished third I was happy that they're round. And that this year finished second in the I could have instead now that was so bad but you know that the thing that made me. Happy about that I had to leave that up so glad it goes to a guy like red and pick you know he's been around you administrate super a couple of years now we try to get into Iraq whatever we have. They can get the credit to get it do it and grant is create spent one of them most. Assistant. Great players that we can't around here mysteries of these he's just took a a five tool player he's a major in the shop he's great for the team and he's actually anxious drivers so. If I couldn't get it done that day I am so glad it geometric dead denigrated figured it. And as their plans to have grant and the truck or car at some point this year. We're continuing to talk about grant every different training is truck schedule the altogether formed so hopefully most of them that. Your guys this team you know your truck team is all of course we just mentioned as on the rise but now you're moving to the acidity series full time you have stuff going on in the truck series at a just and Haley. Task Raila. But what you'd think this year will be the biggest challenge for you moving to infinity series full time. Would it'll and everybody knows when you're going to leave for any serious it's it's not that shallow end of the pool anymore you're you're not take up against the trucks and guys. You know Blake Blake record last year eight cal which marks where you you're you're driving against Brad Kozlowski. In days that the Penske forward and Kyle Busch in the in did the a joke it can't recently it's it's very real what do you get to that in the pool and you have to be prepared spoke out it's going to be a very big step up from trucks but I think as a driver I'm ready as an organization we're ready you know with the hill to successfully been seen in the truck series. There's no reason to believe that we can't go out compete with these guys you know they do it somehow and so complete. And one of the things about the steady series this year not only is the cup drivers. You know getting a certain and our races and an ex Kennedy series which makes a competitive. But now I mean we've seen an influx of teams move into the series including yours. There's new teams new drivers this might be one of the most competitive as steady series. Seasons we've seen in a long time are you excited be a part of that. I'm very excited to partner have been taken that exact thing there's a lot of my truck bodies they're going to be coming up with media get me ready input and creating next year between that Adler Redick William Byron. Did you ever get all those guys so brutal look at for the idea that the competition this year things can be great scenes. Somebody fresh and fees to expand it think it'll be exactly that the Syrian needs. All right and because your character have to fund questions for you. What Christmas plans do you have this year you know what what things you unity around christmastime holiday is. I am very dedicated spending my Christmas somewhere to beat right now I haven't figured out exactly where they're going to be. But the rest picture when it applied over all all it might. All right and then after that what's the best Christmas give a gift you ever given someone. That's Christmas gift I ever get it that when I. I give my brother it's our third traditional Christmas gift I I keep it rolling it's Spotify for years that every year is as good as yet. I by him and all other years where the Spotify itself where I think they would get a Baghdad into the attack. That would every day that I'd I'd like to think that's a pretty good.
