🏁 Race Weekend Ready at Mid-Ohio! 🏁
Sunday, June 7 at 11:15 PM Central Time

This weekend, the team is at Mid-Ohio for the O'Reilly Auto Parts 4 Hours of Mid-Ohio, where Denis Dupont and Preston Brown will be chasing their fourth four-hour endurance race victory in the last two seasons in the No. 76 Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TCR.

While the drivers get the spotlight, endurance racing is truly a team sport. I'm incredibly proud to be part of the pit crew and support team that helps keep this car competitive from green flag to checkered flag. Every setup adjustment, pit stop, and late-night preparation contributes to what happens on track.

Being part of a championship-caliber program takes dedication from everyone involved, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented drivers, engineers, mechanics, and crew members.

Good luck to the entire Bryan Herta Autosport team this weekend. Let's bring home another strong result! 💪🏁

After our last performance, we’re chasing back-to-back victories. Now it’s all about keeping the tires aired up, the grip locked in, and pushing for the top step once again. 🏁🔥

We’ll roll off from P8 this afternoon, with the green flag dropping at 2:45 PM local / 3:45 PM Eastern.

I’ve been told I don’t post enough photos… and honestly, when you’re in race mode, updating Facebook takes a backseat. 😅

But I did manage to save a couple from the team. Here are some action shots of what I love to do most. 🏁

This image does a great job showing how your car’s suspension, steering, and braking components all work together. If you’re someone who needs a visual to really “get it,” this is a perfect example. Here’s what you’re looking at:

🔧 Strut Assembly – Combines the spring and shock into one unit, supporting the vehicle’s weight while absorbing bumps and impacts from the road.

🔧 Shock Absorber – Controls spring movement and minimizes bouncing, keeping your ride smooth and your tires firmly on the road.

🔧 Ball Joint – A critical pivot point that allows the suspension to move up and down while letting the wheels turn left and right.

🔧 Steering Rack (Rack & Pinion) – Translates your steering wheel input into side-to-side wheel movement so the car turns where you want it to go.

🔧 Control Arm – Connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle frame, allowing controlled movement and helping maintain proper alignment.

🔧 Tie Rod End – Links the steering rack to the wheels, making smooth and precise steering possible.

🔧 Master Cylinder – A key braking component that converts brake pedal pressure into hydraulic force to safely stop the vehicle.

🔧 Wheel Hub Bearing – Allows the wheel to spin smoothly while supporting the vehicle’s weight.

🔧 Stabilizer (Sway Bar) Link – Reduces body roll when cornering, improving stability and handling.

✨ All of these parts work together to give you a smooth, controlled, and safe driving experience. When one part wears out, it can affect the performance of several others, which is why understanding the system matters!
