you think it is just driving but it's not at all. it is tough work. >> amy: look at the numbers, a racecar driver is indeed an athlete. a typical race is comparable to a three hour workout and, wired.com looked at danica patrick and she focuses on upper body strength and neck muscles and stays up right during the hard turns and controlling the steering wheel is like holding a medicine ball for two hours. straight. can you imagine? a medicine ball two hours straight. and, 150 degrees inside the cars and many add a body suit and drivers can sweat off 7 pounds in one race. did you see danica doing the yoga class the other day? that is how they stay physically fit and the pit crew works out hard. >> john: andrea jackson talked with one ucf professor who helped one race team go all the way. >> nascar pit crews change huge tires and gas up cars in a

you have to have fast -- be fast and lean and have endurance, mental and physical endurance. >> reporter: mind and body must be at peak performance to endure long hours at the track and focus on the precision of the sport. >> and i have never been a nascar fan but i am now! >> reporter: andrea jackson, fox 35 news. >> john: it is hard work and you don't think about it. >> amy: it is. and the other thing, it is not easy. >> still ahead the cars in the daytona 500 will have something a little different than what they've had in the past. they had digital -- have digital dash boards, a look at the new additions and what it means for the drivers. it is 8:39. live at daytona international speedway on your friday morning, watching good day on the road on

place they lagged behind. a lot of the cars we drive and our farce were fancier and now that changed. tom johnson shows you nascar's brand new digital dashboard. >> nascar is changing the way drivers monitor pretty much everything on board their cars. this is what the dash boards used to look like before the season. but these dash boards have taken a technological leap forward. it is a leap that catches up with the text a ch you have in your cars. casey mears, number 13 chevy, and the fancy ltv video screen, the leap. >> the avenue for drivers and cars. >> and, pat works for casey mears racing competition ford performance and says the digital dash boards are about making sure the drivers and teams have quick and easy access to info. >> you want a fuel saving mode

flag mode. it lets them customize and switch between screens to keep track of what is going on. >> and eventually, it will feed some of that info to you, the fans. in the future it will allow the fans to engage more with the data. as the data becomes available. >> now, it gives drivers an easier, more tech-current way to do their jobs. >> this is the next step of nascar. cool. i want one of those. how much do they cost? i can't afford them. >> thank you. >> i can't afford it, either. >> amy: in the front know of eliott. >> john: a young guy. 20-year-old, and, in college, maybe starting the guy and this guy is on top of the world, at just 20 becomes the youngest
