Whenever you hear someone in NASCAR described as "laid-back," there are two things you need to know: 1) It's a high compliment. 2) It's part baloney. Those who work for Busch Series crew chief Lance McGrew say he's laid-back. And he is -- most of the time.
"He's got a tone," says Kyle Busch, McGrew's driver. At a race in March at Bristol, Busch was racing too aggressively too early, so McGrew put his foot down to force Busch to lift his.
"It's like you just took the family car out around the block when you're 8 years old, and you're getting your butt reamed," Busch says. "He's letting you know that ain't the time to be doing that stuff. But later in the race, he'll be like, 'OK, now you can go do that stuff.'
"He can have his problem, kind of bust on you, but five minutes later it's forgotten about."
