Daniels is notoriously intense, as close as a clone as one can be to seven-time championship-winning crew chief Chad Knaus. But after clinching his first Cup Series title as crew chief with Larson’s win last month at Phoenix Raceway, Daniels revealed he struggled to sleep before every race this season.
