I write for Edmunds.com (the car buying/car enthusiast Web site) on a variety of automotive topics, including a series from the ACDelco Gatornationals drag races in Gainesville, Florida, for their blog The Driving Woman.
Highlights include personal interviews with NHRA Hall of Famer Shirley Muldowney and Top Fuel (now Funny Car) driver Melanie Troxel, plus "you-are-there" impressions of the sights and sounds in Nitro Alley.
"One of the fastest-rising women in motorsports, the 24-year-old Force....was chosen on November 11, 2007 for the Automobile Club of Southern California's "Road to the Future" NHRA Rookie of the Year award in her current Funny Car division....Her standard day at the track includes ESPN interviews and mobbed autograph sessions. 'I think a lot of people don't realize how big a role the fans and the media play,' Force told us. 'You think you're just a racecar driver, and that's such a small portion of what we do.'"
For the award-winning online magazine "Automotive Traveler," I wrote a feature article (and took a lot of the photographs) about NASCAR and North Carolina travel in the Charlotte area and Blue Ridge Parkway.
"The Country Crock Campground, near Turn Three at Lowe's Motor Speedway, has plenty of examples of why you should listen to your Mama when she says, "Don't judge a stock car by how it's wrapped." This is today's NASCAR in microcosm; humble pop-up trailers proudly parked next to half-milliondollar land yachts."
You'll need to register (at no cost) to read the magazine, but I hope you enjoy my piece, "Southern Comfort."
My work for Motorsport.com covers NASCAR and stock car racing; here are a couple of recent posts:
