Ep. 307 | Dr. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky

The Racing Writer's Podcast

Dr. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky has a Ph.D. in physics and she’s brought that to the NASCAR world. We’re digging into what she does and when she realized she could better serve by bringing science to the public than in a classroom; bringing a different perspective to the racetrack; the experience of delivering something new to race fans; making science relatable through someone’s interests; being a resource for people; getting connected with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and NBC Sports; the process of compiling data and putting the information together; what Dr. Diandra likes to do the most; how or why people can dispute data and science; good advice for including data in your work; knowing how to look at the data; what to look at for the next few races; determining drivers to keep an eye on; the accuracy of saying anyone can win at Daytona; suggested work for fans to view; working on a new NASCAR book project.
