NASCAR’s new podcast takes you inside the sport like never before. Mike Forde, Managing Director Racing Communication, Amanda Ellis, Sr. Director Racing Communications & Nate Ryan, NASCAR.com Journalist offer fans a closer look at what happens behind the scenes, from rule changes to officiating decisions, logistics, and broadcasting. The goal is to provide fans with insights into the organizational side of sport and highlight the often unseen but crucial aspects that make race weekends possible. We also will have interviews with insiders, executives, journalists, and more.
Mike, Amanda, and Nate wrap up the 2025 season after returning from Phoenix, kicking off by talking about the championship celebrations by Corey Heim, Jesse Love and Kyle Larson. Amanda explains what the champion goes through after they win and how winning multiple championships have different experiences. The group then talked about the Awards Ceremony moving two days after the Cup Series Championship instead of waiting a few weeks to celebrate. After Mike and Nate discuss the caution that sent us to Overtime in Phoenix where William Byron blew a tire as Denny Hamlin was three laps away from his first championship. The group wraps up this episode talking about the Riedel system that NASCAR has been using to communicate among race control during the race season.
