Jason Jason's Journey NASCAR

JasonJourneylogo400x300As I aspire to work in the NASCAR media world someday, I’m spending time working on skills that could come in handy at the track someday. What could be most important at a race track every weekend? The race, interviews? How about knowing my way around the facility? I classify that as a very important skill and one that I can practice now. Continue reading →
