Russ Goodall

As a veteran sports journalist, I have been privileged enough to attend some of the biggest sporting events—including some of the more sizable motorsport events—in this country. That calling was fed by my childhood, when die-cast cars set the stage for a lifelong passion for both cars and racing. Along my journalistic journey, I developed as much love for the travel to and from an event as I have for the event itself. I have spent many hours rolling down the highways and backroads of America, simply enjoying the wind in my hair and power at my feet. Today, that journey is what fuels me.
