In NASCAR, it’s the racecars and drivers that are in the constant spotlight. Constantly in the shadows, is a team of fiercely dedicated service men and women that make every race possible. A successful NASCAR team requires a top-level transportation fleet to get cars to the track, and those fleets demand the best possible equipment on the market to make that happen.
Chris Bryant is the Director of Transportation for Michael Waltrip Racing, and he knows the importance of keeping his trucks up and running. “It’s very important that we put our hands on good equipment and good support behind that equipment, even with our fluids… because we have no room, no tolerance for breakdowns” says Bryant “because a race will go on without us.”
“We’re not like racecar drivers. We don’t get a microphone poked at us every week,” explains Bryant. Although the cameras may not be pointed at them, everyone in NASCAR understands that without a committed fleet crew, the cars don’t hit the track.
Hear everything Chris and the rest of Team Waltrip had to say here.
