Episode 07 - Jill Gregory

Author: Steve Letarte July 10, 2019 Duration: 46:32
Steve goes on location from NASCAR headquarters in Daytona Beach, FL for a conversation with NASCAR EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Jill Gregory. As one of NASCAR’s highest ranking executives, Gregory has spearheaded the ongoing project to refresh and modernize the NASCAR brand. One of the topics discussed are the many different ways NASCAR offer to engage with the sport’s consumers.

Steve Letarte has logged thousands of miles, not just on the track but on the highways and backroads that connect the racing world. In Letarte on Location, he uses that unique perspective from his decades as a NASCAR crew chief and television analyst to pull over for conversations you won't hear anywhere else. This isn't a standard interview podcast recorded in a studio; it's built on the relationships and chance encounters forged over a lifetime in motorsports. Each episode feels like joining a casual, insightful talk in a garage or a roadside diner, far from the formal press box. You'll hear from the diverse personalities-drivers, mechanics, artists, local legends-who populate the circuit's expansive landscape, all through Steve's grounded and experienced lens. The conversations naturally drift between competitive strategy, automotive passion, and the sheer love of the journey itself, capturing the spirit of life on the move. Tune in for a series of authentic, meandering discussions that are as much about the people and places behind the sport as the races themselves.
