How Race Car Drivers See Their Blind Spots | Behind the Scenes with Spotters at The Rolex 24

In endurance racing, the driver isn’t alone. High above the track, the spotter is the driver’s second set of eyes — protecting the car, managing chaos, and filtering information at 180+ mph. This is the unseen role that shapes every result. Pack racing 30 cars deep. Fog that erases visibility. Prototype traffic closing on GTD and GTD PRO. Editing radio calls in real time so drivers can stay locked in. Spotters don’t just call “clear.” They predict battles half a lap ahead, identify platinum vs. bronze drivers in traffic, manage tire pace in crunch time, and operate on instinct after 20 straight hours on the stand. Special thanks to spotters, Steve Welk and Barry Waddell of Acura Meyer Shank Racing, and Chris Long of Ford Racing. #IMSA #autoracing #motorsport #sportscars FOLLOW IMSA: International Motor Sports Association YouTube: @imsaofficial Facebook: @IMSA Instagram: @imsa_racing TikTok: @imsa_racing X/Twitter: @IMSA Download the Official IMSA App for real-time results, timing & scoring.
