    Great racing podcast
    Kelly does a great job on varying interviews. She has eclectic guests throughout motorsports. Most interest me (some don’t necessarily)

    Do a good job, enjoy your pod!
  • Cheeezitz
    Want to increase your NASCAR IQ? Listen to this podcast
    Kelly Crandall has so many interesting interviews across so many areas of NASCAR, it’s mind-blowing. Anything you could want to know about NASCAR and the people involved… you’ll learn it eventually, if you listen regularly.
  • Chullie Support
    Daniels
    Episode with Cliff Daniels was great. Really good questions were asked and Cliff really seemed forthcoming with information. I was really struck by how similar Cliff sounds to Chad. The phrasing and tone were amazingly similar. Another great episode.

    5 ⭐️ Racing Podcast
    I’ve recently stumbled upon this podcast and cannot stop listening to it. It’s been fun to go back and listen to podcasts from even a year ago when things were so different. Kelly’s interviews to all my favorites are second to none! Can’t wait to continue listening to this podcast weekly!
  • Almostgood07
    Good!!!
    Good!!!
  • PartayPants
    Danielle Trotta - the best interview
    I’ve listened to this podcast most of the season, but the interview with Danielle Trotta was fantastic! I’ve been a fan of hers from the beginning and have missed her on tv, but this interview with her and Kelly is the best of the season. Keep up the great work and hope y’all have plenty to talk about during the off-season!
  • WhatchaDrankin
    Excellent, Always
    Always enjoy this podcast, especially when it drops on a Sunday night after a rained out race!
  • Great Outlook mail app
    Great podcast
    Wow was just made aware of this Podcast. Listened to Tyler Reddick’s interview. Huge Tyler Reddick fan and it was a great interview. I am going back and listening to other interviews now.
  • Eungervt
    A great insight into the sport
    Kelly, I have been listening to your podcast since the end of last season. This year I have introduced it to my 9 year old son and he is a fan. We both love hearing the interviews with people that are not always front and center. It is increasing his love for NASCAR. I personally wish the episodes were longer. I go for long runs each morning and listen to podcasts during them. I would love to have your content along for the full run on your day in the rotation. Ps love the new graphic.

    Great guests and interviews.
    This show has great guests and Kelly is an excellent interviewer, but she uses the word “like” way too often for a professional writer. I wouldn’t expect someone with a degree in journalism (or English) to do that.
  • jshurt11
    New Fan
    New listener. Loved the Brendan Gaughan interview. Excited to listen to more episodes.
  • packersfanski
    Great interviews
    Kelly is awesome. Really loved the Steve Letarte one. He’s a great guy and it really comes through in that interview. (If he reads this I hope his show comes back, too!)
  • BigEinNC
    Great Conversational interview style
    Kelly does a great job interviewing her guests in an easy, conversational manner.
  • frolfngolf24
    Lots of variety!
    Great podcast with a wide assortment of interviews. I really like the personal approach and really enjoyed the Wilson and Keselowski interviews.
  • BJones23199
    Hooked
    Entertaining and informative show. Kelly asks really good questions that you won’t hear asked of people in the sport everyday. Definitely a must listen for race fans.
  • TJ31024
    Kelly Crandall
    What a great podcast. It’s fresh and just fun to listen to Kelly as she talks to all of her interviewees. She just goes with the flow and is very interesting as she doesn’t ask the excepted questions. Thanks, Kelly. Keep up the great work.
  • Skansonia
    Worth a listen
    Binge worthy 🤙
  • Tarheel881952
    Manners
    I enjoy hearing the guests’ stories. Host should stop talking over/interrupting so much.
  • racingintothefuture
    S/B about the guest
    Host talks over guest and talks way too much about herself.
  • Ironman 80
    Spotter Bret
    This was great. Truly worth the time and very informative.
  • Andyb27
    Great racing podcast !
    Kelly was kind enough the direct me to her podcast via twitter and was not disappointed! She works hard to bring the best racing info the the consumer!
  • NtGiL29
    Great Setting
    Binged a few on a car ride today. The one-on-one conversations are among the best offered today.
  • bowl858

    Great show with kaz grala
  • sajojo23
    Killing it!
    I love it! Kelly you’re so knowledgeable, so much to learn from you! Favorite podcast by far!!
  • SuperDaveMc
    Kelly Rocks!
    Kelly is one of the newer podcasts I’ve found, and is a breath of fresh air. She asks different questions that the standard “canned interview”, which is a great addition to my racing podcasts.
  • Delkogirl
    Be a fly in the interview. Kelly does it right.
    If you want to feel like your a fly in in interview, then go ahead and listen. This podcast is one of my top 2
  • Deer Eating Your Tomatoes
    Good Stuff
    Listened to the Tony Jr podcast. Very good stuff. Nice interview. I'm going to check out your previous podcasts now...and also the new ones when they appear.
  • M3&vettedriver
    Perfect
    She asks the perfect questions, while making people feel at ease. There is no agenda on her part and it is extremely entertaining to listen to! Definitely a great listen. I like it when I feel that I know somebody a little better afterwards and she absolutely nails it in that department.
  • Hmk79
    Always interesting
    I love these podcasts, I’m always learning something new.
  • skylan 9
    Great podcast
    I really like the one-one interviews.
  • SpartyParty4
    Me Likey
    Been waiting for one of these types of podcasts for awhile. When I originally saw the name, I thought it'd be a behind the scenes look at the life of a NASCAR beat writer (as an aspiring one, I was excited for that). But this is still great. Like the NASCAR on NBC podcast, but still tremendous. Keep killin' it, Kelly! NMPA B2B journo for a reason. 💯💯💯💯
  • thejoshclt
    Fresh perspective
    Love the honesty of the pod as well as wrasslin talk
  • Youngster72
    Breath of Fresh Air
    Thanks Kelly your interview style is so genuine it’s refreshing, I think your personality brings out new tid bits out of the drivers I’ve never heard before, keep up the good work and hope it does not stop maybe include other personalities in the sport and maybe a view of the state of the sport from a fans perspective, I hope other fans find this podcast as enjoyable as I did. did not hear about it till I heard you on Press Pass on Saturday 10-21-2017
