NASCAR Editor
Somin Bhattacharjee is a NASCAR Editor at EssentiallySports with over four years of experience. His early years in sports journalism were shaped by Formula 1, but it was stock car racing that piqued his interest. Having covered a bunch of other sports like basketball, NFL, and Tennis, his multi-sports lens informs the structured and broader approach to his coverage. What further separates Somin's editorial perspective is the time he's spent on the other side of the scoreboard - leading teams on the ground and serving as a Sports Representative during his graduation years.
