from Victory Lane Hosted by Davey Segal
Davey welcomes on NASCAR Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion, Brandon Thompson (31:10), for an insightful and honest conversation. From getting started as an intern in Nashville 17 years ago to becoming the first diversity intern graduate to join NASCAR’s executive ranks as an officer, BT has done it all. How his time as the managing director of the touring series furthered his love and passion for racing, his time at Rev Racing and how it all came full circle, the significance of Bubba Wallace in today's climate and how the progressive stances NASCAR has taken and continues to take makes him feel as a Black man in the position of leadership at the company. Plus, some fun tales of his family sneaking into Nashville Fairgrounds as a kid, his collection of vinyl records and his favorite race tracks/destinations over the years. In addition, Davey recaps an extremely busy weekend of racing from the Monster Mile, as Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick continue to rack up playoff points.
