Racing communications for @NASCAR. #Fordham grad. Probably too big a fan of boxing, the Giants, Yankees and The Simpsons.
I missed another episode of Hauler Talk this week like a slacker, but @amandamellis again carried the load with an interesting interview with NASCAR San Diego President Amy Lupo. Check it out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hau…
Project: Race the Base. We're bringing a different kind of speed to @USNavy Base Coronado in 2026.
#NASCAR YouTube trying something cool this morning. Ride shotgun as one of the NASCAR haulers drives cross-country from Sonoma to Dover. Download and listen to every episode of Hauler Talk during the drive, too, for the full experience of awesomeness. youtube.com/watch?v=8u6333…
Comin for ya mate @shanevg97 😀
Another @shanevg97 and @ConnorZilisch road course showdown tomorrow? The @JRMotorsports teammates will start on the front row together at @RaceSonoma!
1) Really interesting comments from SVG. 2) Follow and read @JohnNewby_ , if you aren't already. He's been writing a ton of interesting stories and perspectives.
Sometimes, perspective is the difference between joy and misery. This is the case for Shane van Gisbergen, who is having the most fun of his career after getting away from a "terrible" car in Australia. "Sometimes, it's just (the) grass is greener." altdriver.com/racing/shane-v…
Chicago. 51. Wreck. Caution. But too long? Here's what actually happened. #HaulerTalk podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/let…
At a place that remembers everything, we're writing history you can't forget. The @nascarclash returns to The Madhouse in 2026!
Race control needed to call a caution here on lap 59. A spectator medical emergency necessitated the field to be under caution so an ambulance could exit the facility.
This story is tremendous.
"F1 The Movie" filmed an important opening scene at Daytona International Speedway — but not without some compromise. My latest for @TheAthletic is on what went into filming at Daytona and the one request filmmakers had that couldn't be approved. nytimes.com/athletic/64550…
Congrats @chaseelliott! Nothing beats winning at home. 🏁
Give @Blaney an Oscar or Emmy or Webby. Outstanding performance.
The task was simple. Design something big and bold for TNT. Sworn to secrecy in an undisclosed location, @Blaney and some of NASCAR's brightest minds went to work.
32 drivers. Five rounds. $1,000,000 to the winner. Introducing the bracket for the NASCAR In-Season Challenge presented by @DKSportsbook.
New episode of Hauler Talk has dropped! Hear the behind the scenes info from all things Mexico City. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nas…
#NASCAR Race Control for Mexico City. Xfinity Series goes green on @TheCW!

NASCAR's running the classic course ... no chicanes.
I just saw on the iRacing schedule that Trucks at Lime Rock is scheduled for the layout with the chicane (left)? Is that correct for real life too? If so that's a very disappointing decision as the chicane completely kills the flow of the track for stock cars imo.
Xfinity haulers are beginning to arrive in Mexico. We’ll be on track in just a few short days!
Lots of stories coming out this week on what it takes to put on a race in Mexico City. For a taste, last week's episode of Hauler Talk features an interview with #NASCAR VP of Racing Ops Tom Bryant, who's spearheading the efforts... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/roc…
