I've always considered myself an author, but it wasn't until recently that, with the help of my knack for research, I developed a passion for sports writing. I've dipped my toes into various sports like gymnastics, martial arts, and swimming. But then, I craved something that would keep me in the fast lane, and that's when NASCAR entered the picture. I quickly fell in love with the heart-pounding American spectacle. On race weekends you'll find me cheering on old-school legends like Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski. My time at EssentiallySports has been a blast, writing articles that reach millions of readers. I love uncovering the off-track happenings, especially the unfiltered voices of Denny Hamlin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. In case you ever wanna something like 'Car of Tomorrow' vs. 'Next Gen Car' or maybe you're curious about my fur child, a ginger cat named Ginger, I'm all ears.

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.
