It had been over a year since Regan Smith last sat in a Cup Series car when he got the call from Leavine Family Racing to fill in for Kasey Kahne at Indianapolis. Now Smith is amid a four-race run with the 95 team and is here to talk about the adjustment period for a driver getting back behind the wheel. Also hear him explain the feeling of being a race car driver again, if he ever questions why teams pick him to be their substitute driver, whether he considers himself retired, and the period when it felt like he was just getting started. Then before Smith goes and climbs into the car, he opens up about working in television and getting comfortable behind the camera. Music: www.bensound.com
