A major focus of Swan’s USA Network reality TV show, “Life In The Fast Lane,” was on just what he has to do to ensure his body is a pique physical condition to show up on race day for RCR. He’s also shared countless videos on social media of himself getting ripped to deliver those tires as fast and with as much control as humanly possible. 

He previously spoke with USAInsider about being able to finally show the lifestyle of a NASCAR pit crew member on TV after years of doing this hard work outside of the spotlight. 

“I think it’s awesome because NASCAR is such a unique sport where people just see the cars going around the track and they just see the drivers and crew chief and all that stuff,” Paul said. “There’s so much more to the sport on so many different fronts. From a business aspect, bringing in a lot of cool people, the engineering part of it and all that stuff.” 

He added at the time: “I’m really excited for people to see what goes into a weekly, daily basis of each person in this sport and really, myself being a pit crew member, getting the pit crew guys into the spotlight. Because up and down Pit Row, there are tremendous athletes, guys who played collegiately, professionally and now are doing an amazing job on Pit Row. It’s really cool to see all that come to life and to see what the drivers do in their weekly training and all that stuff. Those guys are athletes too and it’s really amazing and awesome that we got a lot of that and it’s a big part of the show.”
