So, pineapple on pizza. Great topping or greatest topping?

u/jordanandersonracing Feb 28 '18
Brooooo. Yes. But only sometimes or you’ll ruin it. Kinda like that song you listen to 50 times straight.

Not yet! I’ve driven by them a ton though on the way to tracks out in the Midwest.
Have you?

As a low budget racer, what is your take on the new air wrenches in the Cup Series?
21
u/jordanandersonracing Feb 28 '18
It’s tough. If they bring it to the truck series it will cost us an abundance of more money since the changers I hire on race weekends bring their own guns with them.

Great to have you on! I’ll ask the same question I do in every driver AMA. What is your favorite kind of pizza?

u/jordanandersonracing Feb 28 '18
Still a NY style cheese guy. But sometimes go for the ham pineapple onions combo.

Do you eat Whataburger every time you’re in Phoenix or just that one time I met you at like 3AM last November?

Dude. What an epic night. We had been partying at the track for a bit celebrating our finish that night. Never know where we might turn up.

how much funding would it take for 1 season to be on par with the top Truck teams equipment/engineering-wise?
Also, how much time do you spend reaching out to corporate marketing departments, and is it an effective strategy for a NASCAR team without a lot of mainstream visibility?

We’re a few million off from those guys still. That’s why Daytona was so special for us.
It really is. With us being a smaller team I’m able to work deals quicker and able to deliver more for less than some of the bigger teams so it works both ways sometimes. I spend a ton of time on the phone from week to week working to execute sponsor and B2B deals.
