Turner Motorsport's garage: 24 hours before the haulers leave for Daytona |
![]() |
Ready to go on the hauler! |
The team makes sure the right number of spare wheels with tire pressure monitoring sensors are available. The cars are fine-tuned to factor in all driver feedback from the test weekend. One of the main overall objectives is to make sure the car has all needed spare parts and that the team is ready to deal with whatever the race throws at it.
According to Turner Motorsport, "Extra time and effort is put into making sure there are NO weaknesses in the cars. It’s the weak link that will bite you. Everything must be checked and checked again." And they mean everything: hoses, fittings, clips, nuts, bolts, wires, etc.

Two 18-wheeler haulers with two cars in each make the 2-day trip from Turner’s shop in Amesbury, MA to Daytona. Each trailer has all the spares, parts, equipment, and consumables to support the cars. The logistics to support 4 cars, all drivers and crews are mind-boggling. We will cover the specific item quantities that go into the race prep shortly: everything from the number of scrambled eggs and trail mix bars, clothing, supplies, pit setup, electronics, and marketing materials, down to the number of Red Bulls per driver. Stay tuned!
