Description

Do you know why racers come to your track? Do you understand their challenges? Are you tired of getting bashed on social media? In this episode of The Inside Racing Podcast, John talks with late model racer Josh Timmerman. Josh self-funds his team and shares the challenges of financing his racing operation and competing and winning at the race track. He discusses the good and bad when it comes to shocks and tires in racing. Business expert and motorsports professional John Robbins asks Josh to share what decisions go into deciding where to race, the importance of purses and how recognition goes a long way in making racers happy. Finally, Josh reveals what drivers and promoters complain about most and identifies how detrimental social media can be for a healthy promoter-racer relationship. You'll hear firsthand a vision for the future of short track racing from a driver's perspective.
