Ep. 153 | Cliff Daniels

The Racing Writer's Podcast

Cliff Daniels and his group haven’t changed anything regarding a seat in their race cars in over 15 years, but with Jimmie Johnson retired and Kyle Larson entering it has made for an even busier offseason. Daniels, the crew chief of the No. 5 team, chats about how things are going getting prepared for Daytona; how he’s been adjusting to the role with so much change the last few seasons; memories of coming from a racing family and being a former driver; having to channel his competitive fire in a different way as a crew chief and leading a team; if he had to get comfortable with the idea of working with Larson; if Daniels has been able to do any team-building exercises given the pandemic; if he will treat Larson different than Johnson; if Larson has told Daniels what he can to lead him; what he will require or want to see from Larson this season. Music created by Tony Monge.
