Summary

Cliff Daniels returns to the podcast now as a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, and a lot has happened, and growth has occurred in the process. Daniels first explains why he wanted the timing to be right for the conversation; looking back now on what the story of 2025 was for the team; what it means for the 2026 team and how steady they are going forward; explaining how a team doesn’t become complacent through consistent success; a crew chief’s continued work to remain on top of the sport and job; details on the team book club and it translating to performance; the need to give dissertations to Larson over the radio during a race; where Daniels finds fulfillment and what makes him happy. Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall
