2023 NASCAR Chicago
NASCAR history was made in Chicago in 2023, with the first street race in the 75-year history of the sport. I anchored the pre-race coverage for NBC Chicago and NBC Sports Chicago, providing my expertise in racing to produce a variety of stories. My goal, in many instances, was to introduce NASCAR to an audience with limited exposure to it. Here’s everything that I wrote for the outlets:
