About this episode
Adam Wall discusses his recent victory at Talladega with Corey Day and shares insights on his journey in racing and team leadership.
Fresh off his Talladega Superspeedway victory with Corey Day, Hendrick Motorsports O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Crew Chief Adam Wall joins Davey Segal (1:55) to discuss and debrief their first win together of 2026. Wall explains why he was a bit surprised to see win No. 1 come at a superspeedway, the ups and downs so far for Day in his rookie campaign, reflects on working with 7 different drivers last season, how preparation differs from the Cup Series to NOAPS these days, how much an engineer can really tweak on a Gen 7 car and more. Plus, how he got hooked on racing with no real background in it, how he rose from sweeping floors (literally) at Hendrick to become an engineer and eventual crew chief, what he's learned from working under Cliff Daniels, how he's grown as a leader of the team, how much raw talent Day has, working with current (and future) Hall of Fame drivers, lofty goals for the rest of the season and more.
