this whole road tripping halfway across the country thing was mostly just a ploy to get here this is Notre Dame Stadium we are in South Bend Indiana and this is on my bucket list to come and see where the Irish play so I don't with the South Bend we showed you how to fill up your car using marketplace which is the in - payment system in the connected car on the second leg of our trip we're gonna show you how to pay and save with the show app I'm probably gonna go just geek out a little bit over the stadium time hit the road by Notre Dame a Notre Dame turn right onto Joy's Drive we're gonna turn right onto Joy's drive in way to Toledo hello Toledo Ohio we just pulled in and we legit need some gas I'm going to use the shell app and I'm gonna use mobile pay and I'm gonna buy gas from my phone and have it all set up before I ever get out of the car so back in March shell announced that 10,000 shell branded retail locations we've actually let you pay for the app for your gas using Chase pay so I use chase to bank I've got the shell app and I need gas so I'm gonna go ahead and do it this would be really nice though if you live in an area where it snows like Toledo Ohio we don't want to get out of the car deal with the elements while you put your card in maybe it doesn't work maybe the card reader is not working have it all done and just get out and pump the gas so we show you how it works all right so I'm just going to open up the shell app and it's integrated too with a fuel reward so you can earn money back while you pump so I'm gonna use pay and save use my face or you have a PIN number that you set up so I've got my Chase pay already done and ready took about five minutes to set up and more payment partners are gonna be added soon you can choose to pay at the pump or in the shop if you want to buy some snacks so I found it we were at pump number three so you can see it's set up with fuel rewards I'm earning five cents back per gallon even get a paper receipt if you want I don't need a paper receipt we're living in the future so now that's preserving the pump for me and all without ever having to leave your car and your code and start feeling so I've got a code all I got to do is go up and put in that code if I'm three and I'm good to go it's almost set the app gave me a code it says enter code at the pump proved says my name there it also tells me that I'm earning five pence back four gallon and I'm ready to start pumping cuz we actually need gas it's another big question it comes to conveniences how much snacks do we want a lot of snacks snacks alright so because we have another hour and a half forget to Cleveland and Matt's stuck driving I'm gonna try to make Matt laugh with dad jokes hey you want to hear a joke about construction Matt I can't tell you I'm still working on it what do you what do you call cheese that's not yours nacho cheese alright so we just got to write outside of Cleveland I was gonna go in to the shell store and see if maybe they can get it LeBron Jersey on the cheap alright all fueled up we're headed to Pennsylvania now next up Pocono Raceway three days of driving led us here to Pocono Raceway and I am almost on the track this is my very first IndyCar race experience I cannot I cannot wait for this I I hope you guys can just see the excitement in my eyes I'm hoping the Team Penske let us get a chance to talk to some the drivers I'm hoping we'll see some of the pre-race tune ups hoping to get like the most comprehensive experience I can get because I'm never gonna get this chance again and I don't know if you guys will either so let's do it together come along with me and let's go the race day and as we're walking around when the shell rips grabbed me and asked I want to the interview to the driver of the Indy car they sponsor Simon Padgett Oh so obviously I'm jumping at that opportunity I wanted to ask the question that was top in my mind I got asked so you're in 2016 champion which is incredible but do you still get nervous it like to sit in the car right before I start thinking what is that what's that feeling well you always get nervous there if you don't get nervous do you probably know need to know right so but I have to say to out the years you tend to it tends to be more bearable when I started racing it was really hard to not puke before race because of anxiety but now the Malakal cam and I know I know what I'm doing better yeah so I have more in control so what's what's your routine before before a race well my routine is you just saw it I just come out of strategy meeting we usually have two hours before the race strategy meeting then we do a meet and greet with with our partners and friends then after that I go in my motor home and I have a massage session and I do a lot of meditation I don't know more as a kid I was all over the place so I had to learn how to control my emotions I was I was learning about she working your parents a mom grocery store and I did that at one point yes you know that in life you don't know where you gonna have to go at some point and racing is a very difficult business because it's only only a very few that can make it to the top yeah and I was at a transition where you know I need a back-up plan if it doesn't work in racing so I started working bursaries to learn the business and II went to business school I don't move the most educated words but yeah Business School I've always been interested in financial the business in general always loved the interaction with people in relationships so for me business you know probably working with that in it's a big it's not just an inner grocery store it's a supermarket we rent cars we would send dishwashers TVs we have a gas station you know mechanical Santa's so there's a lot of things there and that's incredible night what you want to ask about a paying for in your car so what do you think about about being able to pay for gas before getting out of the car well I think it's phenomenal I think you know obviously this society has changed so much we are we're becoming so in touch with our phones becoming so in touch with the technology that we have we've become so much smarter in the way that we go about life we try to optimize everything that we do so optimizing time and you go to the gas station yeah it is important and that's a way to make you feel like you know losses much time and you get more time for yourself so after 10 hours of driving and like 600 miles going halfway across the country our road trip was coming to the end and it was a daunting thing to think about driving that far but we had a ton of fun I got to see sights I never a chance to see in my life I got to interview people that are the best at their craft I got to experience a new race it was an incredible experience we got to see some new conveniences that you can use in your life we got to use the shell app to pay for our gas and get hooked up with the fuel rewards it was a really awesome experience and is one that I'm not gonna forget daren't that many times you get to drive that far and it was really fun so again thank you to shell for giving us the opportunity it's a really cool experience I hope you guys enjoyed coming along with this for the ride
