Hey guys black daughter had to back off. We certainly are as well Sam when you win the championship that's great okay. But when you have an off season and your dolls for a little while how low I hope comforting is good for you do know that you can come right out of the box and sweep the season opener. How how rewarding I competent does that make you feel knowledgeable under title defense mode. Well you know I'm all season and we didn't make a lot of additions thirteen America. We we had our motor program quite a bit better. You know our our cars and everything we. We've we've made little black pieces they're cute and you know equipment that got a little wiser. And a little bit darker one of the better all around them. You know we we really did expect to come out of the gate. Really good and strong route and you know. In that would resolve our equipment like that. You know the pressure on me your performance. It could come out of the person I like that came out first you're not like essence and that dominate like we did. CN NIC can that be my question for you had to start off he mentioning Nazis and and changing things you guys won the championship last year. But the sports always evolving zantop you got to continue work on things Lowber some areas you mentioned a little bit what you really focus on you said your engine package. Was it aerodynamics is it chassis what are some there is you guys really focused. You don't put the main main focal point was fine program that we had it was stuck it was built back of the doubt the latter group. Yeah it's great student and Orkut but there are some places like some of the bigger track shortly arm. And Betty is because we are now we're more power in our main focal point was eating eating a little more power would be created and you know what it will Qatar to Fisher. You do that luckiest you don't. Can you get this up over the hump that we were at before in your article we're gonna quit this you know before we do we have a lot of it. We can't bank at Connecticut. Uncheck it cars or really well and distant at. You know all the equipment order and that that was the main thing you know that we we have no current this year and then our fresh credit bureau. You know semis I understand make him this far better and this part better and make in this part batter at massaging that part of that sounds a lot like what you dead. But we all know it's a combination. Deal was there any concern that it's like yeah we're a fast horse Barbara that's gonna do this to the chassis you're very. We're very concerned and obviously I look at those are gone away when when you improve areas to keep that called for only you had as well. Well credentialed news you know there's a lot of little little eat it up and when you move them up saying yeah. You know protect her paternity issue and I think in issues. And made the transition of the nights where the voter. You know obviously it's a lot of power in order it the voters that they developed or where you know Danish. You don't spend the arsenal at this staying retired and then Hillary same time that. You know the only thing or they just have a nice package that area and you know we don't like in Campbell that the arm. Counting helping out their Q so between between all the people don't see it in package you know we we really get some red. And we believe is really good in India although more about it the more more rate throughout the year. See I am looking forward to this season we know you're gonna try to defend DA at CS championship. What else you up on your schedule and you like the balance of sport and races here. Yeah I really like to race four that much off or that we can't. But my main focal or who knows definitely. They have seen a few unique learns. It's like Brett uttered it's what yet so you know what what we. You were or where I came to their second championship going back to back and and then you know right now where we're limited on how can comment on our tech guy we complete our program. As soon we can pretty much as I want to know what and when we do you have all we can that they are seeing that. What we do unindicted pitching as well it ain't. You know we will be able. To go in recent it's very important races where we have an opportunity. Sam that's a great question and you know I'm kind of part of a team with a motor racing network but we fly in and fly Al Erin has obviously been part of a sprint car team. Finding that guy seems like it might be an easy task look at the resolution what is dogs see what you need and everything. But the reality of sprint car racing when is finding that crew guys. You're almost happened to look for. For for a for a room married for a bus rug for four out because of the Whittle thought. How tough is it and what all these what nobles are finding that guy to work on your team because you you become with that guy I'd want to force other teams. Yea if we have to be able to get along let's look at the first thing you know any day. You know we. Being mean that other one other guy our go to all the time you know yet. It it got a lot of work load it and be prepared you work really really alert and yeah a lot of guys didn't come out on the road to glory and that only only an hour we're gonna go race. Inherently deceitful the amount of time we actually racing you know mark compared to the time we put in the shop at the we traveled down the road. You know it'd be great some are now maybe four hours a night although we can't soon. You know it's it's really harper and many younger got to leave home of Ireland and now there's just a lot of thank you look guys. They think they can do it and move. You know they get a couple months randomly called eating. And in the don't know declining guys in early Europe format it do something like this and game like that somebody it's that it all really well you don't find the perfect item you'll have to inclusion. Teaching golf to get a guy that he earned them while they're the earth is getting ready for the. Will wish you luck finding that guy. You're not headed off to raise enough county raceway for the spring fling at your next event what are your thoughts on attracts its track that you like. What do you think and. Well back then they're.

There's got to be a major just bring your a lot of times even with her husband would rain but that's got to be a major challenge to find that person does to adopt to the. Oh absolutely I'm like just like Sam did not mean you're you're asking some to basically spent eleven pirates they have a wife and kids very cleanly it's it's challenging. But also notes that finds some really knowledgeable about the sport about the cars and Nazis is hard because it's a small industry.

With regard to order. Robert Downey shots to these stories and joining us on the line now is Ricky Warner the crew chief hello Ricky welcome back to the shell. Carried aren't we are doing well written if you could script the beginning of the things I know there's through the got a way. But how satisfied are you with the start of the world of all losses are reviewing your wheel man there. We're very happy with what's going on right now we've got a new sponsor new colors. And now I'm nervous. Teams are working good together adapt. He Sorensen were at the end Brad mask Scotty they're darn good job and arms aren't good governor Iron Man in dark side. There's departed best start we've had a long car. Rick you just talk in this and if for T junior and we're talking about. Other sports every ball and you know they were champions last year at CES and what they do in the offseason. To stay on top of it. What are some things you guys focused on this offseason I mean here RD on top your game what do you do to keep evolving. Are you tired just. Lay everything out at the end of the year look at this stuff he had trouble west and try to get that straightened out try to not. You know our try to you know rarely have there reinvent the wheel every leaks are nearly took out this subset. You know we were struggling north and just kind of start to the basics and it's been it's been a lot better start source. Ricky I wanna follow up and and and you obviously are busy and in here approximately two weeks but he's looking for looking for a crew guy and and here you shouldn't your guys. How tough it aside the mechanical under the bridge that would tires with good shots have good motors was good at all that's. How tough is that to find that right chemistry that Geiger gonna travel up and down the road with how difficult is battle over across the board to find that person. I think it's huge I mean. Like com. Next he's front and we've been together for a long time most guys know Imus gearbox is probably the best I have ever worked with on the record. Drive that struck doesn't hurt tells about. Number you have. Not deliberate person every day every week all the time or. You know I got to be able to get along when he got to build like come and and you gotta give each other's space can hear when you Wear a let out along every little thing. They do you are not getting on your nerves after erupted again married somebody so it. It's its top and it stopped buying those guys. Ricky speaking of of team. And getting along with people in human and Donny are likely Jimmie and Chad have sprint car racing. How do you maintain that that relationship a working relationship and you know what are some of the dynamics that go on between new Donnie. Are just pretty open I mean are keen to open. You know we got a problem we get it worked out I mean some you know people might see that I think we fight a lot or whatever Earl started. Honestly don't beat around the bush and I think. It's better to be that lake has not been testers. And it ain't like in three weeks you know you're so mad at each other you can't talker as it is are we just get it. Get it out it's probably passed out it's over it whether. It's with the guys are between me and hammer whatever. You know we just didn't work down on we all get along good target. You know stay on each other. Took ground each other whatever. We gotta do to make it all work you know so it you there's times you got us. Trying to keep everybody up listed a little bit in. I'll let him get down her you know point fingers at each other stuff like that we don't do it Egypt he just responsible Troy you do. And we back each other on whatever. Stops going on and you just got to meet outlet. It doesn't work so good for you guys across the border Rick this is kind of a sprint car wanna one question okay. We look at racing we look at the racetrack you guys go to the Big Apple while pollution. And you win the race you go to the little quarter mile bull ring to Larry on Saturday night you win the race. I'm not asking for specific to your aunt and assures us of the what does that mean Albert. In general terms how different are the cause is between a little quarter mile bull ring. And a big help knowledge pollution rematch just looks different are the cars up. It's set up the way they are between those two type of offer some tracks. Armed the first night it's Larry weren't directed my second night we got to go on and I'm. Just tires. And your package around me you know your bars and your shock and more ear guy likes to drive you in Paris just learning. He donated develop a better playbook after time aegis you discard hadn't heard this stuff it is considered you might replace some batter he just keeps selling them. Keep selling and the bad stuff where the good stuff. And then you just increasing you come up with this playbook for all these racetracks we might not it's in the terror produce evidence is there right. There's not much we haven't seen later there's a lot of stress or not get that. And we're getting better out there is hardly can bring all that out and keep the rest of the start run and at the level it is. That's all you can do. You mentioned a few times now stuff that you're not good at I'm fed seems crazy guys rally went in every night so. Us a little hand as to what areas you think you guys need to work on. We set the bar pretty hard for herself there's. For me just makes very good set up for what attractive remained stuck changes guys work on the track are here. Gone through your night that. They're promoters and the like that the guys at work on the cars they are. You know you got all your slick stuff out you're tired right now are your tires ready slick yeah they're not you know and all hot water I'll I guess seeing arts. It's rather tires out you know it. It's just like you'd chase and head all right so. VoIP can do is stay positive and make the best decisions you can that as anything it's just getting better. Quicker aren't getting getting caught up in attracting. That's for sure that's for sure final question for Ricky one of the things that you guys are looking at now on the road is a change in your engine manufacturers are the engine goes I know you're not area. And I and all when we talked Donnie pre season you guys really were still working on a timeline. Is there any plan in place what can you share and I know a lot of my. Might not be able to shortlist but other new Ford engine were worth the process going on that that's where we got on that at this point. I'm articulate their dawn and that they recognize you know that. The level or race and that's pretty pretty high and we put a lot of pressure on each other. And around this sort of make sure they have some really competitive when we start run and are you know the biggest thing like to manage him and above us and Ford guys. And the people involved in another program they're natus wanna make sure they got all their ducks in the row and they get a secure product to be real competitive. When we come out so there's there's going to be. Testing and it's growing pains on that whole thing but I think a lot of people just you know don't wanna. Don't wanna jump the gun and just get some announcer they wanna make source competitors and now they make a good effort or Nader. I can imagine I can imagine Ricky has always a pleasure chatting with a let's talk about who bought us the fortune as we could stock the amount for all the season that's been done. Thank you guys are good bet. Yes indeed as Ricky Warner chief general where. Can you imagine the pressure of putting the new engine and shots are hit you have to win that's it and if you don't win your point yes okay so there's the challenge he talked about that seven inch thick playbook you can get for you today. Priceless that would be priceless no doubt about it but I'm sure that is on her block he. He gets yet I would appreciate Ricky joining us that I know that will be talking to him and shots and I want along the way because.
