I haven't gone away! "Behind the Exploratory Lenses" is still active, just been doing other things I love to share someday. In the meantime, after two months since my last episode, I had the pleasure interviewing NASCAR Xfinity Series winner Josh Berry. We discussed about his Martinsville win, his relationship with his JR Motorsports crew and expectations for Talladega. It was part of my latest feature for The Podium Finish that you can read right now. Hope you enjoy this brief episode as next month should be a life changing month. At least I hope so, but I'll save that talk for now.

In this episode, I bring you my interview with Rev Racing's Rajah Caruth prior to making his ARCA Menards Series East debut at New Smyrna earlier this month. Also, I discuss about Ben Rhodes' interest in running the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Ty Gibbs' keeping himself composed thanks to spotter Hal Martin and crew chief Chris Gayle, and TRD President David Wilson's importance of keeping young drivers in the Toyota brand. Finally, Cole Custer describes the significant changes on how the car adapts at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Hope you enjoy this jammed pack episode of "Behind the Exploratory Lenses."

Back from a grueling 2.5 week media getaway in Florida to ramble about some of the memorable points from Daytona and New Smyrna.

In this episode, I focus on Michael McDowell's 2021 Daytona 500 triumph, Derek Griffith winning the World Series of Asphalt Super Late Model title and Pitbull's importance of providing Latin/Hispanics an opportunity to pursue their dreams. I also bring up why this season is sporadic than weekly episodes because I want it to be more guest driven than just be about my life. Enjoy!
