About Katie
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have a wide range of information on drivers, I have the most expertise with Brian Vickers, Jeff Gordon and Reed Sorenson. I have more than general knowledge on other drivers as well. I can also answer questions about statistics, rules, and almost anything technical. I only have a little knowledge of mechanics. I know the rules of the sport very well, and the sport as a whole.

Experience
I have been watching and researching racing since 2001, I have many books on the subject and personal experiences from races. I talk to some of the drivers on a regular basis as well.
