You need a whole lot of concentration to do what Vic does. After the race he is about as worn out as I am. It's mentally tiring work. When he isn't helping me with traffic sometimes he's talking to other spotters, trying to work out deals for drafting partners and telling me which lane is moving the best. No real partners I always laugh whenever people start talking about drafting partners at Daytona.
Nobody has a real drafting partner.
The only partners you really have are the guy in front of you and the guy behind you, and that changes throughout the race. I don't care what anyone promises you before the race or on the team radios during the race. If they think they can help themselves, they are going to forget about any agreement just as fast as they can. You hear all the time that racing is a team sport. Once the race begins there are few people on the team who are as critical as my spotter.
