Sam Hunt Racing has gone from a very small K&N operation to competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and what a journey it’s been. Hunt shares his first conversation with Toyota and earning their support; his connection to the late J.D. Gibbs and how influential their meeting was in more ways than one; how surreal it’s been for the team to come so far in a short amount of time; time spent in the Netherlands and why he chose a career in racing; finding NASCAR racing when back in the States; the business of going from K&N to Xfinity; why Hunt is not driving his own car and if that’s helped in the transition of being an owner; relating to the drivers in his car; measuring where the performance should be when it’s multiple drivers in the seat; if expectations change throughout the year and if Hunt feels like they are defying the odds; if he’d like to see practice next year and any inventory coming from the Cup Series; the team outlook for 2022.
