Concluding Thoughts on Kenny Bernstein's Leadership and Crew Chief Role

sure nothing's leaking. But yeah, that was pretty common. It's a pretty good place to do that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you don't have to worry about traffic. Like I say, whoever would was conveniently get in it, that's who was going to get in it and and go up it uh and drive it. Cuz again, we wasn't trying for speed. We were just trying to make sure everything was good and right. Pit stop practice back then. Pit stop practice comprised of let's try to see if we can get out there for a few stops before we start the new season and go to Daytona. Let's go out there and practice for Watkins Glenn because they're backwards. you know, the stops backwards, not reverse, but just the way you come in. And then before the pit crew competition at Rockingham, that was the extent of pit crew practice as far as doing it every week because all of our pit crew were our guys. They were the fabricators. They were the mechanics. We didn't have time to do a lot of pit stop practicing. Huh. But yeah, we would do it right out there on that concrete pad uh where the tractor and trailer would park.

So there were like four different offices along this wall and in my office where you saw it earlier. It's before the age of having gift shops and stuff in your race shop. We didn't allow anybody in our race shop. You take time. We didn't have time to deal with visitors. Yeah. I even I even at one time questioned Kenny about, you know, do we really want to put King Racing on? do we want to even advertise that we're a race team here? But yeah, you know, that was his he was proud of that. So I, you know, he said, "Yeah, I really do." I said, "Okay." I'll always value working for that man because he taught me a lot about working with people and communication and business, but he had to be a good communicator because he had this race team here in the Carolinas. His drag team was on the West Coast. He had an entertainment company in Richardson or Dallas,…
