Episode Description

Chip Wile - current SVP, Chief Track Properties Officer of NASCAR, former President of Daytona International Speedway and Darlington Raceway, fiercely proud Georgia grad, and Damn Good Dawg - pulls up a barstool with the boys to bark about:

  • Living in a world where the Georgia Bulldogs are national champions
  • His path to the University of Georgia via a detour to the College of Charleston, and how his time at UGA molded him into the person he is today
  • How he got his start in the racing world and the journey to his current post with NASCAR
  • Why attending a NASCAR race will always be accompanied by two hallowed rights: free parking and bringing your own cooler
  • Life lesson: The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is a marathon, not a sprint - choose your beverages accordingly 
  • His answers to The Smart 16

Go Dawgs, Sic 'Em!
