[@stuartlowes4972]

What a smart guy Jesse is. I love his confidence. I think with all the team that I have seen so far, you are going to win a lot in 2024. Thanks Clay for doing this for all your fans.

[@kenadams2799]

Wow. Jesse is a phenomenal guy. He may be quiet and shy but dang. He knows what he wants and he gets it done.

[@tripprogers4814]

Dear Mr Millican, there is one major difference between this past season and all or the other seasons that came before, and you know what it is. His name is Jesse. What a keeper.

[@ultraspinacle]

WOW! This is so great, I’ve watched all these. But this vid was super special. I have an enormous amount of respect for Jesse, even more than I already did. He’s a superstar. Looks like a dynamite team this year Clay, I am a super fan.

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@murmac7856]

Best interview to date, no wonder your kids work so hard it would be so disappointing to let Jesse or Jim O down. Just from his words you can tell he knows what it takes to build a team, very impressive person. 🇨🇦

[@dave_n8pu]

Hey Jesse, why stop at six, shoot for the sky, win them all. You can always 'settle' for less. Clay, I'm enjoying these 'meet the crew' videos. I was hatched and raised in Pontiac, so it almost like Jesse is a 'home town boy' to me. I'm over 70 but I have always enjoyed the quarter mile racing, whether it is 'pure stock' to what you race with the nitro, I love the smell and the feel of those eight cylinders thumping on my chest from the stands.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Jesse sure got a difficult test as car chief in this first year at the position. There's not much as intense as the weekly complete car changes. I was very impressed by how Mister Snyder handled that effort. Thanks again Clay, Best Wishes to everyone at Rick Ware Racing..... What a fantastic picture that thumbnail is, Last Wally ever at Bandimere, my home track..

[@Mark_Spivey]

I love this series! It takes me back in time to the late 60’s early 70’s when the guys two houses away from where I grew up had a front engine rail they ran at the “local” strip. Many nights spent down there watching and learning as a kid. They were awesome in allowing and encouraging me to be there and learn.

[@dksaevs]

Clay, what a story... again don't give up... Jesse followed his dream from 14yo, so cool! As always thanks for taking us along.

[@strykerentllc]

Jesse is the epitome of the American dream come true. At 14 years old, he knew what he wanted to do in life and thanks to Mrs. O, he got that chance and has proven to everyone that he has what it takes to earn the title of being your Car Chief. Thanks for another great video, Clay. No other TF team does what you do and a special thanks to Rick Ware for keeping the dream alive for everyone on the Part Plus Top Fuel dragster's team. Light those candles and let's GO for 22 Wally's in '24! Cheers!

[@jerryarmand]

Meeting with Jesse brought a lot of life to meeting the entire team that works on the Top Fuel Dragster. He is the go to guy that at times has to make a split decision on what to do to get the car down the track successfully. That job takes a lot of dedication and know how. Hats off to you Jesse. Now let's go get those wins predicted for this year.

[@henryg683]

I’m liking the way Jesse is thinking about winning INDY and sweeping the rest of the races is an amazing thought!!! If dreams were to come true!!! See you in the next one Clay!!!

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Still rivers run deep. Who would have thought that Jesse would be so passionate under that quiet outer demeanor.

[@mrrangemaster]

You didn't ask Jesse what he has messed up on 🤣 Hope you get Jim O in there, although he was here in Sydney, Australia this weekend with the Read Top fuel team. And most importantly, Donna is the biggest part of your team. Great videos, thanks for sharing.🦘

[@johnchamberlain5435]

I met Jesse at Maple Grove last year. A real gentleman -- he took the time to hear me yak yak yak about how KZbin videos on Clay's channel brought me back to drag racing. Thanks, Jesse!

[@outragousbob4367]

Thanks for doing this “series”. I can see how much you appreciate these “kids”. Being a blue collar guy who lives in the trenches, I for one appreciate your down to earth demeanor. It’s not an act, you’re one of us!

[@shawnpugh6052]

Jesse I’m with you on my favorite part. The anxiety and rush of “ok here we go” when you light the motor. Be it priming it or running the starter and the ground wire. Gives me goosebumps every time. And as stressful as they are the mad thrash to get to the next round. What a feeling when you nail it

[@TraceyMillican]

Well, I’ve always said Clay’s the only person I’ve ever known that knew what he wanted to do as a little kid and he went and did it. Guess I can’t say that anymore. Sooo glad you’ve come into our family, Jesse!!! 💙Love you! #bluehats #Wallys

[@BrickNewton]

Clay, once you have finished the individual videos can you make one with all of these in one video too. Loving watching these in the morning over here in New Zealand with my first coffee of the day.

[@jerry36852]

And another honest member of the crew, Jessie is full of honesty absolutely driven to make sure that that the everyone is happy,he has got a lot of experience and that they can ask questions if they’re unsure and get advice from Jessie. I hope that this new season can follow up from the last season and you can all achieve your dreams. 👍👍👍👍😎

[@Timbo428CJ]

Wow, that's cool, Jesse's a Michigander 👍👍 When we first saw him with your team, his face said he was all business ! He's softened up a little, but still is all business and just wants to WIN ! St. Clair Shores is about an hour from me, you're a great fit to the team Jessie 👍👌

[@vicferrarisgarage]

Jesse is great leader. Hope to see him as crew chief someday. 7 wins starting Gator nationals then sweep the last 6.

[@wolfman3295]

One of the things I really liked about this interview is how fortunate Jesse was the be where he is now (which is awesome)!! I also love how members from other teams will step in to help when things get tough. I I also agree that team Millican can win more than 5 races this year. I remember how crazy into nitro drag racing I was as a teenager and had a very brief opportunity to get into nitro drag racing doing anything through a friend but it didn't turn out. Thanks for this interview Clay and Jesse!

[@frankdragottasfranktv7675]

Another great Video! My one word description of Jesse is that he has Heart! Great Season ahead No Doubt!

[@No-bu3hg]

I will always cheer for the quite guy that does more than he talks. And when he talks. people really listen to him and he truly lives what he does his heart is all inn and that's what really matters

[@murrayadam8576]

I cut a piece of galvanized pipe with a dull hacksaw once so if you need a fabricator I am your guy. LoL. Another interesting video], great effort. Thanks Clay.

[@Hogman72]

Awesome guy to talk to at Brainerd especially with all the electrical problems. A real asset to your team Clay

[@MiscRocketVideos]

Indy + 5 in the count down is the correct answer!!!! STOMP ON THAT LOUD PEDAL!!!!

[@chrismay6302]

Definitely a dedicated team member. Got to say also Jim O Is a great crew chief.

[@alkennedy1124]

Thanks for🎉the team interested views , good job Clay, thanks BigAl California.

[@michaelupchurch166]

Aside from winning Bristol, that may be the coolest thing you’ve done! Only 6 seconds off a single unstacked car lap 😂. You still ‘da man Champ!

[@fordhipo]

Another good ole' Michigan Boy

[@craigsouthern5089]

Very informative video. Thanks for taking us subscriber's along for the ride. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. 👍✌️🤙🤙😎😁🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@swedenfrommycam]

[@DwyneoutBack]

Yeah, we're still here. That was a good one.

[@BenjySparky]

Clay and Jesse, y'all rock! Love the getting to know your team. Peace

[@pathewes1313]

😊 What a great kid.🎉

[@rbrpulling]

Thank you!

[@RINEYMOTORSPORTS]

Wow that's crazy he's from St Clair Shores I live in Eastpointe right next door to St Clair Shores

[@davewoodmancy5124]

I'm back home in Central Illinois now and we have three tracks within a couple of hours. I will be at Indy or Chicago or St. Louis God willing.

[@vehdynam]

That was great , and quite interesting ! Imagine getting a job at Kalitta's out of school. I am sure Jesse will be a crew chief one day. Many thanks.

[@larrrs3]

Six wins would be great. 🤠

[@davidgass8456]

Love this video, it’s always nice to know a little about the crew and their stories.

[@rprice7670]

Let's go Jesse your the man with the wins he'll yeah. We all want to see the championship at the end of year with all you guys holding up the trophy 🏆 thanks for sharing. Be safe guys

[@JCx3excelmad]

❤All of you guys Sending love from Sydney and wishing you all the best for the season ahead 😃🙏❤️ Waiting for you all to come to Sydney Dragway to excite us 💯😃🙏❤️

[@Derf1313]

Very much enjoying this whole series, great insight to how impressive this team is! & also great to see another "Michigan boy dun good!", lol. Tho I'm from the west side of the mitten (any closer I'd be swimming toward Wisconsin, lol!). This series is quite gratifying, to see youth (lol) that have chosen to follow dreams & have been working so hard to attain those goals! For the benefit of everyone involved, not just themselves. Certainly looking forward to the coming season, lots of "SOTLP", & win lights throughout! Thanx !

[@michaelwynne4346]

Another good one Clay.

[@sergioaldana1853]

Clay your my favorite TF driver I got your autograph and got a picture with you last year in sonoma I hope to see you again in sonoma this year!!!!

[@shaneswayze6228]

He's smart guy..well all of them are or they wouldn't be there.good luck this season clay.

[@murrayadam8576]

All dedicated to the sport of "winning". Best of luck in 24, think it is going to be a special season.

[@RacerChasers]

love the "Night Under Fire" weekend. I popped my nitro methane cherry there as well.

[@SandersAviation]

What’s up Clay! I love this series

[@paulmartin8212]

If all goes well I, hoping to take a road trip from Ohio to Bradenton in a couple of weeks. I'm anxious to get this season started.

[@georgedreisch2662]

Y’all gonna do a episode on Rick Ware I ‘spect. Thinkin’, team owner probably qualifies him as part of it… Way kewl of JimO to turn him onto T/F as a young one.

[@genelappe]

I love this getting to know the guys series!

[@ToolFan68]

these interviews are gold. I’ve always loved NHRA, but this gives an insight that we don’t get from the television or from print interviews even. Wishing you guys all the best. I’ll see you in Phoenix in April. Can’t wait!

[@stanleymartin1613]

Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@brianc2197]

Thanks again Clay.🙂

[@bradley-eblesisor]

I agree with Jesse, 6 wins!

[@bobroberts2371]

Hiring managers / recruiters / HR people in non racing industries need to watch this vid and realize that a person can be driven, intelligent and successful in their field WITHOUT a 4 year degree. Too many only look to see if someone drank their way through school and have a piece of paper rather than actual ability.

[@yattaran1484]

Thank Clay for another awesome Meet the Team interview !. Now I'm very curious about how many Wins would Jim-O predicts ! 😁

[@ernierundall1336]

I love the videos

[@carlhiland870]

Cool video Clay. Did you know Charlie Peppers from IHRA prostock driver? If so he pass away.

[@Mac-td7lt]

Frikin Awesome!

[@Calvin-xp4qp]

Hey Clay, really enjoy the interviews with you team, thank you! Question for you or Jesse, is there a lifespan on parachutes like seatbelts have? Or, do you just replace them if damaged? Thanks and good luck this year!!

[@billgoodman2794]

Very confident person. Great crew. BY the way is NHRA coming to Cayuga Ontario. I heard they might be. Toronto Int. Motorsports Track. I also have alot of questions. Can't wait for season to start.

[@hjc5458]

Clay, got a question. Is the plan this year to have the spare car in the trailer?

[@brianboys9015]

BOOM

[@krogersucks45]

Jesse lives within a 1/2 hr of me. I'm in Columbus, MI

[@chrisgibson6960]

Jesse seems like the right man for the job. Probably has nitro running through his veins. 👍

[@rickrobertadewitt1981]

So who is gonna interview YOU, Mr. Millican? Jim-O , I suppose. Oh, and please include Donna in the team interview sequence. Maybe Mr. Ware also?

[@scottcorbin4605]

Clay, after last year and the 3 cars in 3 race deal, will you be able to have a back up car with you this season?

[@CliffHubbard]

🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@alvintarrer6914]

👍☕️☕️✌️

[@Rdo_ss]

Wish I could grow such a great beard........
