About 45 minutes after David Comings held the Bendix NTDC Grand Championship trophy for the first time while his entire family celebrated the realization of a career dream on the NTDC 2025 stage in Minneapolis, PodWheels Executive Producer Greg Thompson was able to catch up with David and all of “Team Comings.” As we continue our NTDC 2025 Rewinds, this episode brings you a very fun, in-the-moment interview that features David, his wife, Judy, and their six children, who range in age from teenagers to young adults.

At this point on Championship Saturday, Team Comings was still processing the events of NTDC 2025 Week. You’ll hear the pride and joy that comes with this milestone accomplishment, which was announced on the eve of David and Judy’s 23rd wedding anniversary. You’ll also hear the admiration the entire family has for David’s dedication to safety in his mile-by-mile work as a professional driver as well as the additional time he takes to prepare for state and national competitions.
