Ep. 229 | Luke Lambert




The Down & Dirty Radio Show show

Summary: How did the JR Motorsports 9 team finish in the top five at Charlotte down a cylinder? Luke Lambert explains that and much more this week while also praising his driver, Noah Gragson. Lambert breaks down how a driver has to adjust to less power; what impresses Lambert about Gragson; getting to know Noah the person; if Lambert expected the team to gel so quickly; why he joined JRM; the grind of the Cup Series; where his passion for racing began; being a former driver and why it didn’t pan out; Richard Childress Racing being his first NASCAR job and how engineering started to evolve; if Lambert felt he had to become a crew chief; nearly winning the 2014 Cup Series championship; if crew chiefs keep track of their statistics; getting his first ice bath at JRM; if the goals for the team have changed since his first day.
