Dipti Sood is a NASCAR writer at EssentiallySports. What began as an interest in Formula 1 gradually expanded into a wider motorsports world for her. A B.A. graduate and current law student, Dipti has spent over four years in content writing, working across niches before directing that range toward sports journalism. Her introduction to NASCAR came through Ross Chastain's Hail Melon move, a moment that has stayed with her and sharpened her curiosity for the sport. With over a year of dedicated sports journalism experience, she follows Kyle Larson and Hendrick Motorsports closely, bringing an informed perspective to her Cup Series coverage.
