“Millions of NASCAR fans turn on their televisions or file into racetrack stands each year to take in all the action of a good race. What those fans don’t see is the preparation that goes into making a race successful.” – According to the article in the  freightwaves.com and its author Ashley Coker

“I came down to be a mechanic, then I just slid into the truck driving part of it because it is more of what I know,” Robbins said. “I know trucks. I know how they work and how to get them down the road.”

For many truck drivers, moving NASCAR cars around the country sounds like a dream come true. Making sure the car makes it to the track on time is only one aspect of Robbins’ job, though.
