We’re back atop the spotter’s stand this week with Tim Fedewa of Stewart-Haas Racing, who works with Chase Briscoe in the Xfinity Series and Kevin Harvick in the Cup Series. In this episode Fedewa opens up about the loss of interacting with his team with no access to the shop or the infield; adjusting to spotting in unfamiliar places; what goes into Fedewa picking his normal spotting position; seeing and being a part of Briscoe’s great season; keeping Briscoe focused; being in awe of Harvick; how he’s seen Harvick changed as a fellow competitor and now teammate; if he had any reservations working with Harvick, who had a reputation of being rough on teams; what goes into a spotter and driver relationship; what makes a good spotter; drivers who have impressed Fedewa from the spotter’s stand; the hardest part of the job; why he stuck with spotting as his second career; what makes a former driver a good spotter; still getting a competitive kick from the job; the most interesting thing he’s seen or been a part of on the spotter’s stand (involving a Jimmy John’s sandwich); who is allowed on the spotter’s stand and changes NASCAR has made through the years; if the second round of the playoffs will be as stressful on Fedewa as the drivers; how fulfilling it’s been to make a name for himself as a spotter.
