Drew Herring is getting interviewed once again! It’s been a while since Herring was the topic of discussion but a few years into his new role as a spotter, he’s here to share how it’s been going. Herring explains how he landed the job at Martin Truex Jr.’s team; still getting the adrenaline rush and fast-paced feel for the sport; what his prior relationship with Truex was; not taking heated moments on the radio personally; the adjustment of being proactive instead of reactive; being able to think like a driver; if a driver-to-driver pairing makes things easier; whether Herring feels he’s found a place on the roof amongst the spotter brotherhood; finding his physical place on the roof; being the Toyota simulator driver; explaining the wheel force test car; how being a test driver scratches the itch to be a race car driver; keeping the door open to driving competitively again one day; being the Toyota test driver for Next Gen development and feedback to NASCAR; how far the car has come over time; Herring’s outlook for the 19 team’s rest of the season.
