      “Starring Alanis King, with Tommy Joe Martins, and featuring Kligerman.”

    I absolutely love how this video turned out, and I'm so appreciative of everyone who took the time to be in it. I also appreciate y'all watching! Thank you!
    I'm trying to tag Parker Kligerman in this comment, but the option won't pop up. Parker isn't just a NASCAR driver, he also makes great RUclips videos! I watched his new Supra review yesterday, and it's a great way to spend your time after this. Here's his channel if you want to subscribe and support him:

      We also have a brand-new parter in this video, as y'all probably saw! Apex Coffee Roasters rocks - they support my friend Brad Perez in NASCAR, and they wanted to extend to my channels as well.
      Apex's founder, Brett Jameson, got into coffee through F1. He took a camera to the USGP in the mid-2000s, and he ended up really loving photography. He wound up in a lot of coffee shops editing, so he got a taste for it and decided to make his own! Brett rocks, and the Apex branding is so cool. Gulf colors!
      Anyway, thank y'all again for watching. It's because of you that we're able to have any partners at all

    As an Aussie, some great insight to the world of NASCAR. A great video Alanis & editing & music integration. Well worthy of getting to 100k subs very, very soon.
    If you get a chance at the next race & Shane Van Gisbergen is racing. Try to catch up with his partner Jessica Dane. She is a part owner of Triple Eight Race Engineering who run Red Bull Ampol Racing here in Supercars, to whom Shane drove for. She has been a Team Manager for a car at the Bathurst 1000. And has done TV for the Australian Rally Championship. I think she would make an awesome interview given the interest in Shane joining NASCAR & Infinity series.

    So learning as much as I can. Theres so much more to it than I thought. So much strategy on those ovals and every oval is different.

    As a 50 year old Scottish guy, I fell into the trap that Nascar was just turning left. It was only after trying it on iRacing last year that I suddenly realised, hell this is fun!
    Now I spend my Sundays looking for dodgy streams on Twitch to watch the races!
    As a newbie I love watching content like this (though it is hard to find) to help my understanding of the sport, especially when it is presented in a fun but educational manner from someone as knowledgeable as yourself.
    Oh and I never realised the banking on these tracks was so steep - it's only when you see people on it that you appreciate this!
    Btw big shout out to you and your husband for the quality videos you produce! I really appreciate the content. Thanks!

I took 3 people that have never been to a race and they never realized how much there is to do before a race. Would be cool to see the different things each track has going on in the fan zone.

So if you ran a race today in a similar situation you would be spending $400,000 just on tires alone. It was a little over $25,000 for the 16 sets back in 2004.
