Summary
Jeff's Daytona 2026 Pit-Wall RECAP: With special guest—and Jeff Braun co-worker—Andrew Wojteczko, of AWA Racing and IMSA Corvette team 13 Autosport! January 2025: Against towering odds, Andrew, INTC's Jeff, and the rest of the AWA gang win the 24 Hours of Daytona. January ’26: The same team hits Daytona again. They do everything right, they feel great about all of it, and then everything goes wrong. Parts break that shouldn’t. The car handles all spooky and no one can suss why. There is a fire big enough to land the team on TV. (And not in the fun way, like, with Joy and Whoopi.) Andrew has won Daytona twice. Jeff has won it three times. They each tend to be brutally honest about their own mistakes. And you know what? That makes for one great ep of a podshow. This show changes format weekly, because squirrel. We call this format, “RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES.” This episode was produced by Sam Smith.
