Ep. 270 | Bernard Pollard

The Racing Writer's Podcast

Bernard Pollard is hooked on NASCAR, and for the last three years, he’s lived the best of both worlds, learning the sport and getting to engage through a partnership with Ally. Pollard opens up about he didn’t expect to be this invested in NASCAR; recalls what initially drew him into wanting to watch a race for the first time; being intrigued by a different kind of athletic competition as a former athlete; becoming a defender of the sport to critics; being on his third iRacing sim rig; being intrigued and amused at how competitive drivers are; wanting to learn everything about the sport through research and video clips; getting other football players interested in racing; what Pollard has seen from the diversity side and NASCAR’s inclusion efforts; what his hope for the future of NASCAR is and his role.
