Ep. 264 | J.J. Yeley

JJ Yeley, the NASCAR driver, not the incorrectly labeled Formula 1 champion, visits the podcast to discuss his role with Rick Ware Racing; what he still gets out of racing; not wanting to get a real job; how his perspective and appreciation of racing has changed over the years and through teams; his career not being as imagined after starting with Joe Gibbs; if there are any regrets coming to NASCAR; the IndyCar experience; getting confidence back in USAC; memories of his 2003 triple crown season and the ribbing with Tony Stewart about it; becoming Stewart’s NASCAR teammate; not having things come easy in NASCAR as Yeley was used to in dirt racing; any lessons from his father; still going back dirt racing when it makes sense; explaining why injuries are more prone to happen in dirt racing; how fulfilled he feels with racing today.
