What happens here

Mitchell arrives at the garage area and meets Willie Mullins, the owner/driver of the ARCA car, and Dinah Mullins, Willie's wife and team owner. He learns about the day's schedule, including gear checks, weighing, and receiving a transponder. Willie informs Mitchell that he will be sharing his car for the test laps, as the backup Chevy car is too small for Mitchell, which was discovered after smaller drivers had tested it.

Goal: Understand the day's procedures and meet the racing team.

They're all There's a line sitting right down there. Good morning. Morning. Hi. This is Logan. Hi, Logan. Welcome to the 224, miss. 224? Uh, when you're all wrapped up for the weekend, you'll keep this if you're doing it multiple days, but whenever you're done testing, you just want to bring it back here and check it in for you. Okay. Thank you. Yep, you're welcome. So, I just got out of the drivers meeting for all the people who have never been here before. They're going to take us around in a van with a veteran driver to show us what the surface looks like and explain things. So, that's what I'm waiting for now. A truck in the back says Michigan on it. That's a long way from home. Just whatever you're doing, be consistent and that'll help your guys for to know what kind of speed you got in your car. Um and try to shift at the same place, get up to speed the same way.
