If you’re a racing fan and aren’t listening to , I’m going to need you to rectify that immediately. The podcast, hosted by racer and PR guru Sean Heckman, is free to listen to, and a whole host of episodes just dropped as a little early holiday gift to all of us.
I’ll be honest — I’m not big on the whole podcast thing. I feel like I have precious little available brain space most days, and I would rather not fill it with people nattering about something. But Dinner With Racers gets a pass for me. Eversley and Heckman do a great job researching their guests, and they ask more interesting questions than your standard interviewer. Yeah, sure, everyone knows about Derek Bell’s success at Le Mans — but what about IROC? That’s what makes this podcast such a hit for race fans.
And we have a whole slate of new episodes coming.
Right now, you can hop over the DWR’s website and listen to the following guests:
Kevin Schwantz, motorcycle racerJereon Bleekemolen, IMSA driverTommy Milner, IMSA driverButch Leitzinger, former ALMS driverMichael Printup, head of Watkins GlenFelipe Nasr, IMSA driver, former F1 driverEric Foss, IMSA driverJon Ikeda, brand officer at AcuraTim Keene, IMSA team engineerScott McLaughlin, IndyCar driver, former Australian Supercars driver
And in December, well be getting:
Daniel Suarez, NASCAR driverWill Power, IndyCar driverA. J. Allmendinger, NASCAR driverCorey LaJoie, NASCAR driverDeb Williams, journalist and writerJustin Marks, NASCAR team ownerAlex Palou, IndyCar driver and 2021 ChampionMichael Cannon, Chip Ganassi Racing engineerChris Simmons, former racer and engineerKen Schrader, NASCAR, ARCA, late model, and modified racerHelio Castroneves, IndyCar driver and four-time Indy 500 championJack Hewitt, former racer and two-time USAC Silver Crown championScott Sharp, IMSA racer
I can’t vouch for the quality of the Tommy Milner interview just yet, but I did see it being recorded live at the Seneca Lodge in Watkins Glen earlier this year. Do with that what you will.
