I watched my first NASCAR race when I was three years-old. Dale Earnhardt drove the No. 3 and from that day on, Dale was my guy. That was 32 years ago.

I earned my bachelor’s degree at Western Kentucky University (Go Tops!) in broadcast news and spent ten years in local television as a sports anchor. I covered the NFL, bowl games, the NCAA Tournament, and even the Ryder Cup, but nothing compared to working a NASCAR race.
