Experience race day like never before—through the eyes of my mechanic, Danny. With a DJI Action 5 Pro strapped on, Danny takes you inside the pits, onto the grid, and into the heart of the chaos and celebration as we captured the win in Sunday’s Superbike race at Road America. This is raw, unfiltered access to what it really looks like behind a victory.
Zach was supposed to do it, he forgot already.
Of course.
Mitch?
His memory is the second shortest thing he has.
It matters, it depends.
Yes, his memory is the second shortest thing he has.
Two-brake beat.
She's a little flexy this morning.
If I slipped at all, I was sticking my hand up his ass.
He won't mind.
Okay.
That's okay.
He'll probably just turn around and wink at you, it's fine.
I mean with his eyeball.
Do that a second time.
Good job, Hong!
Good job!
I see a 188.
Yeah.
Is he in somebody else's wing?
No, he's not.
189.
He's a little bit behind Gagne.
Maybe got a little help there.
What the **** was Simone waiting for?
Wait for Sunday?
Yeah, wait for Sunday.
Who?
Gagne.
32.
About time, what are you waiting for?
You remember we were racing yesterday too.
Yeah, this ******* TV is on best.
I need to see if we can change that.
Oh, ****.
I don't understand.
------- Simo.
We probably went from 80 degrees to 83 or 84 degrees on the ******* throttle blade finally.
And that was my girl.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you look at that and you get excited.
You're like, ah ****, red, purple, whatever.
No.
Josh doesn't touch his rear brake.
Interesting.
Ever.
Doesn't even know it's there.
So just because the wheel's spinning so fast, that's when it starts stepping out?
Well, it's the engine braking that's kind of making, trying to slow the motorcycle.
Yeah.
Wow, that's crazy.
It's got a mind of its own.
They all have a little different technique and, you know, and then you have to set up the motorcycle a little bit different.
You know, like I've had two riders, same motorcycle.
One likes it like this, the other one likes it like this.
Interesting.
Same lap time.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Yeah, that was, ah, never mind.
I thought you were Hong.
What?
I thought you were Hong.
Oh.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Then I saw all this white and I'm like, that's not Hong.
Danny, let me turn this on for you.
On?
It's not on?
Yeah, it's still on actually.
Like it didn't ******* get all that?
I got to talk about buttholes and ******* winking again?
Oh wow.
Great.
Nice work.
Good job, Hong.
Good job.
Jesus Christ.
Dirty bitch.
Oh, sorry.
Cheese and rice for the kids.
Scotty Patchett.
What's up?
How the **** are you doing?
I'm good.
We get to stay another 45 minutes today.
You're part of the fun.
You're going to pay us the big bucks, right?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, that means something different than you think.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
Tire sticker?
Good?
Should I make sure it's on the right tire?
How you doing, Mr. Faraci?
Doing great.
I tell you when it's over, I do maybe better.
Yes, me too.
Thank you.
What are you thinking about?
You don't want to know.
I do, actually.
In that order?
Unfortunately.
Oh, ****.
Well, we've all had those days.
What is that?
You know as soon as you get ready, it's going to blow over here.
I don't know.
It looked heavy, though.
Like, it looked like solid.
I think it was paper.
Or were you looking at my dick?
Huh?
I said, or were you looking at my dick?
Yeah, solid.
What?
I was thinking about it.
Oh.
Okay.
Viking dick.
With the horns coming up?
No.
Somebody came together and ---- in the air.
Oh, really?
It wasn't us, though.
One off in the grass.
Walker!
Just get all this ---- in the pile here.
Just in case we've got a red flag or something fucked up coming.
If he does, if you hear a red flag, just plug your tire warmer in.
Looks like P1 plus zero.
Whoa!
Oh!
I think Pogge just went down.
No, it's for him.
Show.
Five seconds.
Show P1 five seconds.
Come on.
I'm sorry for him.
No, I'm really for the rider because he's not...
Yeah, I know.
I mean, the crash is too...
The feet.
He has a problem with the feet.
With the ankles.
Yeah, for sure.
Come on, Josh.
He's okay?
Yeah, he's up.
Yeah!
We were not running out of gas.
I thought it was us.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely good.
Good job.
**** yeah.
Nice work, Kyle.
Good job.
Double.
All right, buddy.
Double, baby.
Great job.
Thank you.
Great job, man.
Thank you for your help.
Mr. Ferracci.
Thank you.
No, thank you for everything.
Double, double, double.
That was good.
**** yes.
I like that one.
I love it.
------- 9.4.
Yeah.
Smackdown.
Good job, buddy.
Good job.
No, here.
Stand here.
Huh?
Stand right there.
Give me a number one.
Give me the number one, he said.
Hey, number one, two.
I couldn't...
Do it.
Two for one.
Good job, buddy.
Good job.
Thanks.
That was a good weekend.
Yes.
And then when he fucked up, you were immediately past him.
There was a tail on him on the road.
Yeah?
And he moved, and then I had to move because I almost went over it.
Wow.
But he flew right into our line.
Oh, yeah.
He was going to run it over, yeah.
I just saw the front end wash up.
I thought, aw.
He didn't hit it.
He just was avoiding it.
Watch out.
9.23.
Oh!
Let's go get that ******* motorcycle out of there.
Ah!
Simon from Dunmore.
Here.
One second.
Turn this around.
Danny, Danny, come on.
Oh, come close.
Danny.
Here, get in here.
Brian, get in here.
Yes, Hong.
Get in here.
Come on.
Yeah, he just wants the alcohol.
Where we go for dinner?
No.
Never.
The last time I stepped foot in a McDonald's was 2019.
The Westby's.
We went there, and I did not eat food that day.
