Victory Lane

Happy Daytona race week! 2021 winner of the Great American Race Michael McDowell joins Davey Segal (7:00) to discuss his mindset heading into the 2024 season, coming off a career-best year that saw him make the playoffs, his relationship with crew chief Travis Peterson and things staying the same on the No. 34 team. McDowell also chats about the process to get to the closing laps on Sunday, starting weeks (and months) before cars hit the track in Daytona, how the Next Gen car has helped teams like Front Row Motorsports, what his expectations are for the upcoming year and why he feels like he has a lot ahead of him despite being a series veteran who's experienced the highest highs and lowest lows. Papa Segal also pays homage to Perfect Peter Grigg and Davey previews the opening points-paying weekend of the 2024 season.
