RFK Racing crew chief and veteran of the industry Derrick Finley joins Davey Segal (2:40) to discuss working with Ryan Preece, why the Northeast racer stands out as one of the best Finley has ever worked with, the current push for the playoffs and battling a teammate for a postseason spot and how it is racing against and working for your boss in Brad Keselowski.

Finley dives into his upbringing in New Mexico, the racing scene out West, playing football at UNM, why he chose mechanical engineering and motorsports after college, working for Dale Earnhardt Inc. fresh out of school (and some stories to boot), the mentorship he received from Travis Carter, getting the call to crew chief in Cup for the first time in 2003, stops at multiple organizations along the way, what brought him over to RFK Racing and why he got back atop the pit box for 2025 despite not really wanting to.

Plus, the intricacies of working on a Gen 7 car in today's NASCAR, whether they're trying to win or point their way into the playoffs, the story behind his famous skull flame pants, his taste in rap music, interesting animal analogies and more. Davey also recaps another dominant road course performance from SVG and looks ahead to Richmond.
