   Episode 296: Adam Wall

   Fresh off his Talladega Superspeedway victory with Corey Day, Hendrick Motorsports O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Crew Chief Adam Wall joins Davey Segal (1:55) to discuss and debrief their first win together of 2026. Wall explains why he was a bit surprised to see win No. 1 come at a superspeedway, the ups and downs so far for Day in his rookie campaign, reflects on working with 7 different drivers last season, how preparation differs from the Cup Series to NOAPS these days, how much an engineer can really tweak on a Gen 7 car and more. Plus, how he got hooked on racing with no real background in it, how he rose from sweeping floors (literally) at Hendrick to become an engineer and eventual crew chief, what he's learned from working under Cliff Daniels, how he's grown as a leader of the team, how much raw talent Day has, working with current (and future) Hall of Fame drivers, lofty goals for the rest of the season and more.

   Episode 295: Frank Kerr

   Longtime crew chief Frank Kerr joins Davey Segal (1:45) to dive into his extensive career in motorsports, both behind the wheel and atop the pit box. Kerr details what it's like working with Brennan Poole and for Alpha Prime Racing, the unique relationship he has with both his driver and team owner, working with other drivers in the past, his two wins in the then Nationwide Series with Marcos Ambrose and more. Kerr explains why he still to this day misses the feeling of being behind the wheel of a sprint car, why he opted to walk away as a winner with some still left in the tank and how the transition to becoming a crew chief and working in NASCAR happened. Plus, some of his gnarliest injuries, a Cup car falling on him (yes, really) at Bristol, what else he'd like to accomplish in his career, at APR and more.

I think that they've done a really good job in the past year of kind of like showcasing parts of their life like an influencer would. And I think that really helps with new audiences because they are seeing what these guys are interested in and what their lives are like outside of the track. And also they're seeing their faces. I think so often not trying to hate on anybody that drives or runs the social media pages of these guys, but you might go scroll on a driver's page and you see them with the helmet on or just pics of a car.
