Podcast appearances and mentions of Crew chief

In the latest installment of “Dinner Bites,” we talk with the legendary Cole Pearn, one of NASCAR's greatest Crew Chief's in the modern era. A NASCAR Cup Series champion in 2017, Cole walked away from the sport at the end of 2019, opting to focus on home and family life in his native home of […]

Rico Abreu only wins because of Ricky Warner, Kyle Cummins leads USAC into a busy week around Indy, and where do we draw the line between track prep and the fan experience?

In this episode, listeners are confronted with the raw, unvarnished reality of what it means to face a sudden, non-negotiable change in role-right on the eve of a major team event. Peter Consalvi, originally slated to run in Team RWB's Old Glory Ultra Relay, is forced by injury to relinquish his runner position and step up as crew chief. This isn't a gentle pivot; it's a high-stakes, high-pressure transition that demands immediate acceptance and a complete mental reset. Pete lays bare the emotional turmoil, the self-doubt, and the honest grief that comes with letting go of a role you've trained for, dreamed about, and been honored to fill. But he doesn't wallow-he attacks the new challenge, channeling his energy, experience, and leadership into ensuring the team's success from a new vantage point. This is not just about personal sacrifice; it's about recognizing when stubbornness becomes a liability to the mission and having the guts to make the hard call for the greater good. Listeners are challenged -- directly and unequivocally -- to examine how they respond when the ground shifts beneath their feet. Are you ready to drop your ego, recalibrate, and throw yourself into a new role at a moment's notice? Peter's journey is a masterclass in rapid mindset adjustment: he processes the loss, trusts his gut, and then gets to work, leveraging his strengths to support the team in a way that's just as critical as running. The episode pulls no punches about the discomfort and drama inherent in these transitions, demanding that you ask yourself: can you adapt fast enough when your plans explode? Can you communicate, lead, and execute without missing a beat? This is a call to action for anyone who wants to be indispensable-not just when things go according to plan, but especially when they don't.

In the second installment of our interview, Frank Stoddard gives us an unfiltered, no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners, damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead, INSIDE look at how his time as Jeff Burton's Roush Racing crew chief came to an inglorious end. We then take a look inside the March 7, 1996 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Jeff Gordon wins on a COLD weekend in Richmond, while Jack Roush isn't satisfied with his organization's results … and just wait until you hear WHERE his teams' drivers finished. It's SO cold … heck freezes over and NASCAR doesn't penalize three of the top-five finishers. AND … there's SOME reaction to an incident the previous week between Dale Earnhardt and Bobby Hamilton at Rockingham.

A late model chassis change has one driver humming, teams make their final series selections, David Gravel possibly headed for historic territory, the championship battle that could end up being the best in the country, and a lot more from the weekend.

This episode of Veteran Made dives deep into the transformative power of purpose and the dangers of misdirected effort, featuring Roel Gonzalez, an Army veteran and crew chief for Team RWB's Old Glory Ultra Relay. Gonzalez shares his journey from military service to ultra running, revealing how even good things—like physical endurance or community service—can become harmful when pursued for the wrong reasons. He recounts his early experiences running marathons during deployment and how they shifted from a means of distraction to a source of purpose. The episode challenges listeners to reflect on their own actions and motivations, emphasizing that how we do things matters more than what we do. This is not just about physical feats but about aligning mindset and heartset to create meaningful impact. The conversation explores the unique dynamics of the Old Glory Ultra Relay, where runners carry the American flag across the country in a mission that transcends athleticism. Gonzalez highlights the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and shared purpose over individual achievement. He describes how his role as a crew chief involves balancing the physical and emotional needs of the runners while preparing for unforeseen challenges. The episode underscores that enduring hardship for a greater cause—what Gonzalez calls “elective suffering”—is a powerful way to grow and contribute meaningfully. It also critiques superficial approaches to failure, urging listeners to embrace setbacks as opportunities for deeper learning and growth. Listeners are left with a powerful takeaway: good intentions alone are not enough; actions must be rooted in genuine purpose and community connection. Gonzalez's raw honesty about his struggles with transitioning out of the military and rediscovering his sense of belonging through Team RWB is both inspiring and convicting. This episode pushes you to reevaluate your own motivations, challenging you to turn good deeds into great ones by aligning them with the right purpose. Whether you're a runner, a veteran, or someone seeking clarity in your life's mission, this episode will leave you motivated to rethink how you approach challenges and opportunities alike.

Air Cavalry was a new tactic employed during the Vietnam War. Jack List participated in those early days of air assault, including seeing action in the Ia Drang Valley, made famous in the movie “We Were Soldiers”. Jack served 30 years, 11 months and 25 days in the Army, retiring at the rank of Command Sergeant Major.   Jack was born in Germany and his father served in the German Army during World War II.  During his first tour in Vietnam he was notified by his grandmother that he had been drafted into the German Army! Jack was assigned to the 11th Air Assault “Test” Division that was evaluating the Air Assault concept. Jack would eventually serve as a Crew Chief with the newly minted 1st Air Cavalry. He became responsible for a UH-1 “Huey”.  Jack flew as a door gunner on missions and then had to patch up the aircraft upon return to base. The 1st Air Cavalry was based at Camp Radcliff, An Khe'. At the time it was the largest helicopter base in the world with more than 400 helicopters. On his first mission they launched 110 helicopters to support a Special Forces camp. “The thing that scared me the most was not the enemy shooting at us, it was potential for midair collisions.” The scenes at LZ X-Ray depicted in “We Were Soldiers” were just a small part of the larger Pleiku campaign. At LZ-Albany, further north in the Ia Drang valley, our troops suffered a 50% casualty rate. Jack described one of his missions where 5 of the 10 persons on board were wounded upon approach to the landing zone. He says he has no idea how he completed two tours without being wounded himself. His pilot trained other crew members so they would know the basics in case they had to fly the helicopter. Jack says that Sergeant Major Basil Plumley was an excellent leader and always had his troops well squared away. Col. Hal Moore went back into both LZ X-Ray and LZ Albany to retrieve remains.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by winning Top Fuel Crew Chief Mike Green and top 10 Funny Car racer Blake Alexander. The conversations are entertaining and enlightening on several aspects of the sport.    Green talks about one of the most challenging race-winning weekends of his decorated career. Justin Ashley was available to make a single qualifying run Friday and then left the track for religious observance. Returning Sunday, Ashley and the entire team put on a furious performance that garnered them the Top Fuel points lead and dropped jaws along the way. He takes us all inside the winning approach.   Blake Alexander is in the best running funny car of his career right now and the performance continues to impress. Running 3.831 and then 3.87 at Dallas showed that Jim Head, Dave Leahy, and the whole team have their program in good order and he's driving to match. Lohnes and Alexander talk about the car, the preparation, and all the behind the scenes business work Blake does to sustain and grow his career.    That and more on this show!

GHiT 0614:  Robertson Racing Recap with Becky and Scott In part one of our review from GridLife's festival event at Lime Rock, we catch up with Scott and Becky from Robertson Racing.  In addition to racing in his Miata with Becky as Crew Chief and Lead Mechanic, they were also working with two of their coaching clients and they produced amazing results.  The Miata was still being dialed in, as this was the first race of the season after significant work and upgrades that started last season.  It is always great to catch up with them and we can't wait to see them in person at PittRace in October.  Link:  https://robertson-racing.com/ A link to the episode is: https://tinyurl.com/RobertsonRacingLimeRock24 If you would like to help grow high-performance driving and racing and maybe even our podcast, lol: You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, YouTube, etc. Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating, that we would appreciate very much.  Even better, a podcast review would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving and we would appreciate it.

Beth King joined the military to provide for her son and became the first female in her company to fully progress to the role of crew chief. One fateful night in Afghanistan, her Chinook was hit by an RPG, throwing her from the helicopter. Her harness caught her, saving her life, but the incident left her with serious injuries that were not immediately apparent to others.   She went 18 months without treatment, only to later discover that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). As her symptoms worsened, she was eventually medically discharged from the military.   Her injury, compounded by PTSD, anxiety, and depression, led King to isolate herself. Eventually, the Wounded Warrior Project helped renew her sense of community, reigniting her love of sports and, ultimately, her zest for life. Now, it is King's turn to give back, helping other veterans find a sense of purpose as they return to civilian life.   Find out more about Wounded Warrior Project: https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-clubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
