Behind scenes of Austin Dillon, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. teams at Daytona Cup race | Motorsports on NBC

as you've seen in our coverage this year we go embedded with a couple of teams and let's join Kim and which team are you with this week Kim I am with the three of Austin Dyan Lee and gasman Tyler Raider has been a part of Austin Dylan success winning the Infinity Series championship in 2013 and a Daytona 500 victory in 2018 but a chance visit to RCR in 2018 by a special forces member would put Tyler's NASCAR career on hold that special force member told the pit crew they wouldn't be able to handle the military training so Tyler said that litty fire under his butt he felt like everyone should serve in some capacity and needed to answer the call in 2019 Tyler left the team to serve as a fire team leader in the 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Army after finishing his service the three team welcomed him back with open arms this year's Daytona 500 marked his return to Pit Road for the first time in 5 years and Marty now a copy of the Ranger Creed stays permanent in Tyler's wallet Jim tab Boyd is the spotter for Ricky senhouse Jr they won a Daytona 500 together but tab Boyd is not the star in the Boyd house household no that belongs to young 10-year-old Bentley Boyd who is get this ranked third in the country in American Ninja Warrior Competition and seventh in the world tab told me his biggest contribution to all this is building their obstacle course in their backyard which takes up pretty much the entire backyard there you can see that all handbuilt by Tab and yes he does plan on being an American Ninja Warrior once he turns 15 when you can be on television right here on NBC diff I'm not sure there are many 10-year-olds in the world that are more in shape than adults but I bet Bentley Boyd is Lee well Matt eisan one of the hosts of American Ninja Warriors a good mate of mine so I'll tell Matt about that keep an eye out for tab and the family good stuff let's catch up with another crew member of the three team Ray wght is the long time pick crew coach for RCR in the number three but College Baseball fans of the early 2000s know him for a different reason the catch you're seeing it right there in 2000 LSU captured its fifth College World Series title as an outfielder for the Tigers in that finale right had a game altering out that saved three runs that catch helped LSU get to a 65 victory over Stanford the gamechanging catch was captured by a photographer making the moment live on forever today that photo is framed hanging in rights office at the shop he told me he looks at it every day as a reminder of hard work and speaking of catching he's actually catching the hose during pit stops for Austin's teammate this weekend the eight team of Kyle bus tell we're a big 10ed Network I'm not sure if we can promote the go LSU that threw it up there but I can appreciate it you see the smile yeah he saw the picture of the picture and he got that smile came back that's pretty cool right was at RCR when I was there such a hard worker put everything into it all right let's get an update on Ricky Stenhouse Jr with Marty what you got yeah we've been embedded with a 47 team a lot of cars pitted with one to go including s House's crew chief Mike Kelly so walk me through that decision process to come with one to go yeah we're just trying to put as much fuel in our car as we can knowing this will be the last run here he who has the most amount of fuel with the shortest amount of stop will put themselves in good position here at the end and that that's been our game plan all night is just kind of ride take care of our car stay out of Harm's Way and uh we'll get ready to go race here and turn him loose yeah he mentioned it Lee Ricky inous has kind of ridden all night long but Mike Kelly told him a moment ago it's time to go RAC in stage three when you heard it just how important the fuel is right he made an extra trip to Pit Road car shut off here in coasting and when we go back to green we are going to take a listen to the three we're going to go take you inside the world of Austin Austin Dylan and have a listen to that call lights are out on the Toyota Camry pace car let's go and have a listen stage three let's do it still us thanks to Brandon VES and RC for letting us inside their world as Michael McDow leads the field down the back backstretch into three it's amazing the work they do with those binoculars right it's one thing to say it works good down the backstretch but then here off from turn four coming below the grand stance they have to move the binoculars refocus find their car and then pick them back up as they go away remember from the Star Finish Line into turn one if we look they're driving away from the spotters so depth perception very very difficult into turn one to try to decide they could be clear left or right but just a few inches we started this stage taking you inside the world of Austin Dylan at Richard CH racing let's take you back there now and have a listen a little bit detached now they shooked him now he's going have to get down to the bottom all two by two now that's here that broke up the 22 and the 12 3/4 3/4 33 12 54 43 behind with us this one mine inside 34 34 front 31 14 on the Gap 3 to two more qu quter again thanks to Brandon and RCR for letting us inside that world of spotter driver communication and relationship and that trust is the biggest word Clarity and Trust for the spotter to help the driver with 47 laps to go in this Coca-Cola zero sugar 400 Michael mcdal is in command at the front of this race want to take a look at the exfinity fastest lap and it is owned by that man there on your screen Ricky Stenhouse junor he did it on lap 28 of this 160 lap race well let's ride along with him got a foot cam watch what he's doing using the brake and the gas see a little bit of break right there just modulating his Gap from the 43 see he's not wide open he's just trying to save a little bit of fuel and really no where to go anyway right now see there's times he'll go wide open just trying to make sure he doesn't let the car in front of him get too far away now you're doing your you're doing your legendary analysis but you were you were remissed to do your TV job you were meant to say something go on I'm eating it I'm eating it I'm eating it the little bites biggy muffins got a whole carton of them behind me they're great I like I think this is fascinating because people who have watched Speedway racing I think just all the drivers R around here wide open right like they do in qualifying but this is a perfect example of even in the pack where you want to carry as much speed I know he's out of the gas some to save gas Jeff but even if he wasn't trying to save gas a little bit of break a little bit of you have to control these runs it's still pretty artistic with the feet yeah that's right if you and if we've seen what happens when it doesn't get timed right we've seen the wrecks we've seen guys get spun around there will be a moment in this this race where he is no longer on the brakes hi I'm Parker cigman for more access like this from Pit Road be sure to click and subscribe to the Motorsports at
