“I Sounded Like an Idiot”- Bubba Wallace’s Spotter Publicly Confesses Guilt Behind Dismal Gateway Showing
NASCAR drivers always keep their heads in the game—literally, there’s no room to turn around! If you ever take a close look at drivers when they are inside the cars, you’d know. They have tunnel vision and can only see what’s ahead of them the best. But what about the rest of the directions? That’s when spotters come in. They act as a driver’s eye, offering them real-time information during the race.
From upcoming turns to hazards and information on the cars around them, spotters are essential for safety and strategy on track. They are perched up on a high stand where they get an eagle-eye view and convey to drivers. But what if that view is constricted or all the cars look the same? This is what happened on the Gateway track with Bubba Wallace and his spotter.
