Swan is a friend of the show and we all know he always brings the energy. The boys get right into Austin and Paul’s friendship and how their bromance began. The two actually had a reality tv show, “Austin Dillon’s Life in the Fast Lane” with Paul and his wife.
Austin dives into how started his racing career and what it is like being the grandson of the legendary Richard Childress. Austin also tells the hilarious story of what it was like meeting his wife and how their relationship, along with Paul and his wife, began. Paul and Austin’s wife, Whitney, are much more alike while Austin and Paul’s wife, Mariel, match each others energy.
Austin and Paul talk about how much athleticism is required in the sport of NASCAR. The majority of the pit crews are made up of former D1 football players and are legit athletes. Austin is an athlete himself but doesn’t want to say that all NASCAR drivers are athletic because there is some evidence out there that points to the contrary.
Finally, Austin gets into who his biggest rivalries are in the sport and how one of the rivals actually went at his family. This is a fun pod where you can really see Austin and Paul’s personalities shine. Enjoy fellas.
