He worked at WRG in some capacity which may have been in part the Open Red podcast’s. I believe I’ve heard him say that he was a crew member on one of the nascar teams as well.
I’d agree that the majority of what he says can be found on social media. But he does a nice job of presenting it and since it’s a short broadcast it doesn’t exceed my attention span. What I’d like to know is how much these “content creators “ make. He mentioned a year or so ago when his subscribers < 15-18K that his income from it was in the low 5 figures, not a fortune but not a bad gig either and is the reason these creators are always trying to get more likes & subscribers.
Another guy I enjoy watching & has nothing to do with racing is “Pan the Organizer”. He covers all aspects of car detailing and from all appearances has done quite well for himself with over a million subscribers
