The magic of the No. 3 team was found in the driver and not in illegal mechanical tricks.

“See that seat right there? That's where all our magic is. The guy sits in that seat. We don't have no nitrous. We don't have no movable this. We don't have no We weren't doing any of that stuff.”

Marques appreciates the new horizontal screen and the minimalist interior aesthetic but acknowledges that the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls can be frustrating to use while driving.

“and that part sucks because now that i'm doing this new like hand over hand motion because i can't just pass it through like a wheel normally would i i'm constantly at least in the first couple days brushing buttons brushing the blinkers brushing the headlights”

NASCAR should reduce the drag on race cars to allow drivers to break away from packs.

“I need to know exactly what NASCAR I think what I propose to NASCAR is find out how much drag to pull off the car so that if I'm in a pack of cars that are running 60 70% throttle and I mash the gas 100%, I drive away from them. I break the draft and pull away.”

Bob believes that he should have been more cautious with his car's engine performance modifications.

“I put a cob access port on my car which is the thing that allows you to flash a new tune onto the ECU”

Mark expresses skepticism about the quality and engineering of German automobiles, specifically Audi.

“those are cheap cheap German crap that's that's what I've heard they don't have good engineering over there or anything”

Electric vehicles are a legitimate threat to the performance parts industry due to lower valuation.

“electric vehicles are a threat to the performance industry performance parts industry gets significantly less valuation now than what we do”

Modernizing race car components for performance advantages, such as implementing adjustable spoiler angles, requires meticulous mechanical engineering and concealment.

“I thought if I could figure out a way to get that spoiler to lay down and get it back up because they're going to check it post race. And so I had in my mind before I even landed I had in my mind how we could make the hinge, you know, and conceal it and how all that would work.”

Chris Harris believes that cars should prioritize comfort as a main factor in engineering and design.

“It's one of the craziest things about motorcars is that one of the most obvious things is comfort. It should be the priority.”
