Rise up early on Race Day

What happens on race day? Race days were always tense, never time to do anything but pay total attention to the goal for the day, which was to win the race. Up at 6:00AM, meet for team breakfast at the local café for about an hour or so until the track opens, then off to the track. Once we arrive at the track everybody just sort of rambles around in the garage and looks for loose ends that need to be taken care of. Once everything is sorted out then the work assignments are handed out by the Crew Chief.
