Racing is Supposed to be Fun

Motorsports has always thrived off of the personalities of its competitors. On this episode of the Gluckcast, motorsports journalist Jeff Gluck takes a peek under the helmet and helps paint a picture of some of the most compelling driver-related stories in the sport today. On the heels of a grueling afternoon at COTA that saw him pass out from heat exhaustion, AJ Allmendinger chats with Jeff about his grit and fortitude, and not wanting to give up despite a cool shirt failure during the race. Ty Dillon joins the show to help listeners understand why Richard Childress Racing is taking a chance on the unproven talent of Cleetus McFarland. IndyCar driver and personality Conor Daly calls in to chat about the star power of Pato O'Ward and how it's helping the series rise to new popularity on an international scale. Finally, legendary film director John Dahl joins the show to talk about the importance of the NASCAR Full Speed series and how it helps to humanize drivers to race fans and viewers.
