Ok tonight I listened to ryans radio during the sprint unlimited. Ryan had to race part of it with no power steering, but when they came in to tighten lines & diagnose I was happy to hear Luke seemed very organized. telling who was doing what & everything else. He was in charge of his crew. So that was refreshing. Then later Ryan would set up the 9 car & go to the inside Marcos would block him causing Ryan to get out of gas. Then Ryan set him up again & went to the inside & the 9 blocked him again causing Ryan to have to slow down. Ryan got on the radio & said if he does it again he is going for a ride. Spotter said 10-4.
Then something that would never happen on his old team. His owner RC got on the radio & told the spotter to the the 9 car what would happen if he did that again. (RC telling the spotter to tell the 9 car he would get dumped) That gave me the warm & fuzzies tonight seeing a team & the owner caring what happens to Ryan in the race. Very excited to see what happens over the course of this season. RC would pipe in from time to time to Ryan during the whole race. The 9 car got the message.
Nice to see Ryan on a team that cares. This year is gonna be awesome!

A couple funny things on radio between Ryan & Luke.
Ryan came on the radio during yellow about fixing the power steering. He said I passed 4 cars without it but it was a handful Luke replied well you got the shoulders for it Ryan laughed yeah I may have the shoulders for it but I would rather have the correction factor.
then later Ryan got on the radio & said I think the Pace Car is blowing up. Luke replied is it the power steering? tell them to come down & we will take care of it for them.
I think Ryan is getting along with his new team just fine.

When Jeffy first came into the sport, Richard Petty was asked his impression of him. He said Jeff wouldn't have lasted long in his (Richard's) day cuz there was no power steering. He was referencing Jeff's small size & non muscular frame.

This is very encouraging to say the least Schmoop. Rio
