Guthrie Details Hands-on Experience as The Lone Full-Time Member Of His Indy Pro Series Team’s Crew



QUESTION: Sean, I’m looking at, I guess you call it, a blog that you have on the Indy Pro Series Web site about how you have just taken over as parts manager at Car Crafters and before that you were a body tech for a while. Obviously you have people on your team that know Indy cars inside out. But as a driver, has it helped you to know the nuts and bolts, so to speak, as well as you do from your work at Car Crafters?

SEAN GUTHRIE: Not only do I do a lot of work at Car Crafters but really in the last couple of months I’ve been the only quote, unquote full-time employee at Guthrie Racing. A lot of our crew guys are out of Colorado. Some are here, have other jobs. Weekend-warrior crew. Every nut and bolt on my Indy Pro Series car I’ve touched. I’ve done everything from changing gears to rebuilding steering racks. Only thing I haven’t done is take shocks apart.
