Jesse Vaughan became a spotter by pure chance. Ten years later, he was atop a tower in Turn 3 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, guiding James Hinchcliffe through the Indy 500. Vaughan (13:56) who hails from Chesterfield, VA, explains how he was randomly asked by his father to spot for Shayne Lockhart at Martinsville Speedway ten years ago, how he made the most of that chance and continues to spot to this day. We dive in-depth with him on what it takes to be a good spotter, what he's learned, and what really goes on atop the tower on race days. Co-host Dave Seay reflects on Cathy Rice’s career after the news she’ll step down as South Boston Speedway’s GM following this season.
