When asked, “What is the most exciting event you have ever produced?” without hesitation (and at quite a loud volume) I exclaim, “NASCAR”.  

As part of the TV production crew, I managed pre-race interviews with drivers Jeff Gordon, Dale Ernheart Jr., Jimmie Johnson, and Kyle Busch. I ensured all waivers were signed while film crews captured fans and winners of the “Track Walk” were properly managed. One does not truly understand how large a NASCAR track is until they have stood at the checkered finish-line and stared down the straightaway.

B roll shot lists were executed. Live footage of champagne-drenched Jimmie Johnson at Victory Lane was the highlight of the day. Post-race driver interviews continued along with footage of fans celebrating their win in the parking lot.

I couldn’t believe I was there.
