A Minute with Brett Moffitt - April 14
I was able to test at South Boston last week with Zach Germain, and the test went great. The car was perfect and the lap times were fast, so I am confident that we have a good chance to repeat our performance. Our biggest competition may be Mother Nature, as it appears the weather may give us some difficulty heading into the weekend. For everyone’s sake, I hope we can have some luck and be able to run the race on schedule.
Winning the race the way we did brought lots of extra benefits. I was able to be a guest on SPEED TV’s NASCAR Race Hub. For me, that was a big deal. I love watching that show, and to be on it and meet everyone there was an amazing experience. I was also able to call into numerous radio stations. Hopefully, the excitement and buzz will continue, and we can pick up sponsorship and some additional funding for the rest of the season.One of the funniest perks of sitting on the pole and winning the race was winning a bet I made with the team. The bet was that if I sat on the pole and won the race, I got to dunk a crewmember’s head in the toilet. On the other hand, if I were involved in the first caution, they got to do it to me instead. Thankfully, I did not lose that bet, and we had a pretty entertaining day at work this week. AJ, who works in the parts department, had a great attitude about it. If you go onto my Facebook or Twitter, you can see some photos.
I also got to practice pit stops with Travis Pastrana this week at the shop. After we practiced pitting the car, each of us had some fun actually changing the tires. Let me put it this way - I don’t think I would ever make it in a career as a tire changer.On the off weekend after Greenville, my girlfriend and I went to Ashville to tour the Biltmore House. The weather was great, and it was nice to get out and enjoy the weekend off. It wasn’t something I would normally do, but thought she would love it, and it turned out that both of us had a pretty good day.
Well that’s it for now. Until next time, take care -Brett
