Do you ever wonder what it’s like to drive race cars 200+ miles per hour, for a living? I recently had the opportunity to spend the day at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600. Before the race kicked off, I was granted some amazing behind-the-pit access and had the chance to meet a couple of professional drivers: 21-year old rookie William Byron and league veteran, Aric Almirola, a.k.a The Cuban Missile.
Did you know that NASCAR drivers spend nearly 40 weeks a year on the road each year, mostly living out of decked-out motor homes? I chatted with these drivers about more than just racing on the track. We also dive deep into what life is really like as a professional NASCAR driver.
Tune in to hear about Will and Arics’s come-up stories, their favorite non-driving hobbies and travel destinations, family histories, crazy pre-race routines, and what it’s like to be fearless for a living. For them both, hesitation can mean serious danger. Take a listen and prepare to get closer to the track than you’ve ever been before. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines… and keep an eye on your heart rate.
