to spend the day with a nascar driver. >> 9:30 a.m., casey starts his day. no stroll through the hollers would be complete out autographs. that would be a theme today and every day, really, for casey. >> the fans are great. the fans are what make our sport. >> 10:18 a.m., first time in the garage for the day, first chat with crew chief, followed not long after by first time climbing into the car for the day. 10:27, out of the garage and onto pistol road and on the track for the first time. casey takes his first laps in sprint cup qualifying practice for the daytona 500. 10:52 a.m., back into the garage, but casey never got out of the car. still time on the phone and take a selfie. say cheese. back onto the track to make just one more lap in the first of two practice sessions. 11:31 a.m., the car's back in the garage for adjustments and

autographs through daytona's unique glass window. for the next half hour, it was track, garage, autographs on repeat. 12:19 p.m., finally time for lunch. casey makes a healthy choice. >> after lunch, casey sat down with us for a 20 -minute interview. the guy has racing in his blood. >> i was raised in a race shop and spent a lot of time in the shop and at the race track. it came natural because that's what my family did. >> 1:07:00 p.m., much needed downtime, a little relaxing, watching tv, checking social media on his phone. 1:30, back to work. time for a chat again and these two have a special relationship. hey, stop being yourself. >> no. >> that's a high class rednic right there. >> if you didn't have a good relationship with the crew chief fire and the crew chief would be fired.

garage where you gotta stay hydrated. 2:06 p.m., quick interview with the guys from fox doing the race broadcast and another half hour worth of signing autographs while the crew works on the car. 2:35, a chat with richard on the way back to the rv. casey's headed for a nap, but first a little mtv crib style tour of his home away from home. >> we're here 38 weekends out of the year. back is bathroom. the middle part is pretty much the kitchen. really compacket way of living, but it's great, really feels like home. >> from 3:20 to 6:00 p.m., casey took tashower, nap, and relaxed by himself in the rv. his wife didn't want us airing any shower video. that's understandable. 6:16 p.m., casey and booty sit in for the prerace driver's meeting and then back to the rv for an hour's worth of alone time. seven scampi m: we're approaching go time.

the back of a pick-up truck, get into the car and then. 8:36, finally, the green drag drops on the sprint unlimited. 9:00, casey runs up front and clean early on until 9:58 p.m., the 13 cars involved in one of four major crashes in the race. however, casey's team works like crazy through three separate pit stops to fix the car, which they do. 10:08, casey narrowly avoids a final lap crash in overtism to finish a very solid 5th place. he's off to his rv for sleep. his crew cleans up the pit box, the day is done.

the thunderboards >> we need great weather. >> it was freezing cold last year. and this year, it is picture perfect. thanks, buddy, we appreciate it. >> you're very welcome. and again, we spoke on the live show for gdo on friday morning, we were confident of that high pressure being top of the season. we'll pepper enmore scattered chowd cover, partly cloudy as we pawned that. temperatures delightful. slowly coming up through the upper 50s at daytona beach. 61 at melbourne. you see the clouds amy's talking altitude at this time. clouds north of this now, leak into lore lower on down. we'll see that he numbers. by 667 m: with come on down.
