Growing up as a Formula One fan, I was always vaguely aware that there was a sport called NASCAR. But when I actually got to know more about it, it didn't take me long to get hooked. My closest encounter with NASCAR was back in 2009 when my family took a picture of me next to one of Dale Earnhardt Jr?s cars. Since then, I?ve only grown to appreciate the sport a lot better. Aside from motorsports, I have always been fond of writing. So a marriage between the two made perfect sense before it led me to pursue a degree in literature and a PG Diploma in journalism. At EssentiallySports, I discovered my passion for researching. I can just lose myself in one of the infinite rabbit holes and accrue lots of knowledge about NASCAR. To date, I have written over 14,000 articles, but I?m not really a numbers person. What I consider my greatest achievement is getting some of my articles listed as sources on Wikipedia.

I began my motorsport journey in the European lanes of Formula 1, but after years of predictability, I ventured into the road courses and oval tracks of the United States. Upon discovering NASCAR, I was fascinated by the anecdotal gems waiting to be uncovered. Since I am a storyteller by heart, NASCAR gave me the perfect canvas with its cherished camaraderie and ancient rivalries. For me, the sport is built as much on passion, joy, and heartbreak as it is on their state-of-the-art racecars. Enamored by Kyle Larson?s dedication, Kevin Harvick?s humor, Denny Hamlin?s ambition, and Dale Earnhardt Jr?s passion, I strongly believe NASCAR is more than just a sport. The time I am not obsessing about Stock Car Racing, one can find me watching past races with a tub of ice cream alongside my two adorable pet dogs. Feel free to reach out to me to share your stories of the racing world.

Had you asked an individual from the yesteryears, they would have easily asserted that motorsport is surely not a women?s forte. However, times have changed. And changing the narrative, here I am writing and analyzing the world of NASCAR, with over a corpus of 500 articles to my name. Although it was the world of Formula 1 and Ferrari that ignited my love for motorsports, eventually the unapologetic nature of NASCAR tantalized my motorsports fanaticism. Ever since I became a NASCAR fan, it is the golden boy of the sport, Chase Elliott, who I admire the most. I hope his second championship is waiting just around the corner. Apart from feeding my thoughts with the intricacies of the world of motorsports, I am a voracious reader who likes to write poems. I am also a polyglot, chiseling my language skills. When I am away from sports and books, I indulge myself in the music of Pink Floyd and Adele.

Controversies, gossip, and breakneck speeds? Count me in! While F1 has its charm, NASCAR helps me relive those "Roadrash" gaming days. My favorite among the drivers has to be Tyler Reddick. The 23XI Racing pilot is not only likable but also a complete beast when he is on track, more specifically, road courses. Off the specialization, I'm found diving deep into psychological and mythological reads. It's fascinating to decode human behavior patterns and weave them into tales. Whether it's stats, throwback moments, or the sheer impact on teams and players, I'm all about dishing out the details, even more so when they are weaved with the right storytelling in my articles. Oh, and here's a fun fact about me: I can belt out classical tunes! Yep, trained singer right here.
