In many sports, we hear from the coaches on a regular basis. In NASCAR, not so much, but that doesn't mean they're not working constantly and feverishly behind the scenes training drivers and strategizing how to win races.
In a rare interview, this "Coach" explains to
The Onion, that the key to winning in NASCAR is a simple one: Drive Fast. Legendary NASCAR coach Dan Amon goes on to reveal the importance of his training regimen with pedals. He says one of the biggest mistakes rookies make in racing is not pushing the pedal down far enough. Amon also gives a bit of sage advice to drivers on how to avoid accidents on the track: if you see a car out your windshield, don't drive your car to where that car is.
Very enlightening interview. Fans won't want to miss this inside glimpse into the world of NASCAR.
Now, if you're a fan who gets your panties all in a bunch every time someone makes fun of our sport that consists of nothing more than driving left in circles for miles and haven't learned to laugh along yet, keep it moving. This video is not for you.
