What happens here

The host moves to the garages, where he encounters Chris, a NASCAR official. Chris explains his role in inspecting cars and ensuring no 'cheating' occurs. The host is then given an exclusive look at driver Joey Gase's car, which is covered. He emphasizes the confidentiality surrounding the cars' configurations, especially the engine, which is considered proprietary information and not allowed to be filmed during official inspections.

But everything happens so fast, you don't even think about it. And we try not to think about it, FYI. So, we love questions like that. All right, you guys, we're going to take the first peek at Joey's car. He hasn't even been able to see this thing because he's been He's not allowed in. Excuse me, excuse me. Right before the race starts, the official comes in, and no one is allowed to film as they lift up the hood. This is the first looks at this, and the reason no one is allowed to film is because it's proprietary information, and every racer does certain things to their engine that they just don't want out there to the rest of the racers out there, and it's their own special tweaks and things like that. And the official has to watch as this hood is opened up and unveiled to make sure that everything is copacetic, but no one had told me any of this. So, let's go film the official and film the engine. Completely by accident. This could have gotten me immediately kicked out of the race right then and there, and I had no clue. No clue. And we're going to be in the pit here in a minute, you guys. So, we're going behind behind the scenes with NASCAR. How's it look, Mr. Official? So far, so good. You got to keep an eye out when they unveil these things? >> Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, no cheating. All right, very cool. We're going to go around and check it out some more.
