'Now is the moment when I regret everything.' NASCAR champion Joey Logano taught ABC News' Morgan Korn how to drive stick. The results were hysterical:
I was about to get a lesson in driving stick from Joey Logano, the reigning NASCAR champion.
As a journalist who writes about cars, it was imperative to learn all the tricks of the trade. But who was going to be my coach, my patient guide? I asked Joey before our lesson if he had taught others to drive stick. His wife, Brittany, was a former student. But, he cautioned, “I kind of run out of patience sometimes."I laughed out loud. Oh boy, this was going to be an adventure.
“Just go a little slower on the clutch,” he said. “So when you were letting the clutch out, you were going really, really slow and then you went fast. So you kinda want to ease it out slowly, the same speed all the way out.” “And then you’re running out of range on your ankle,” he continued. “You’re moving your leg and you’ve got no control. Try letting the clutch out the whole time with your foot, with your heel not on the ground.”
I burst out laughing. Even Joey Logano – race car driver, NASCAR trophy winner, driving god – has made mistakes.A smoother start. We switched seats and showed me how to rev the engine in first gear. He released the clutch and the car took off like a rocket.“This is the moment I regret everything,” he said as we exchanged laughs.“You’re just going to push the clutch in, hold it all the way down, just dump the clutch,” he instructed. “No finesse.”
