All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of the Untitled Jeff Gluck podcast. I'm your host Jeff Gluck, and today it's a How I Got Here version of the podcast with Mr. Bob Pockris from ESPN.com, the great motorsports writer there. Definitely the hardest working person in the NASCAR media, probably the motorsports media, as far as I know.

Almost always the first one there, last one to leave. Spends his days off from work, checking court

records at the courthouse instead of relaxing or doing something fun. Always answering fan

questions on Twitter. That's just what makes him pop-pacris. And today I want to find out how he got to this

point. Was he always like this? What the heck is going on? I'm here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Bob spent part of his childhood and early years in Indiana, went to Indiana University, and got his

start covering indie racing rather than NASCAR.

So I thought this week would be appropriate for the how I got here.

So let's get right into it.

This is the career story of Bob Pockris.

All right, everybody, I'm here with Bob Pockris.

And Bob, thank you for doing this.

I'm very excited to have you on here.

I'm excited to be on here.

I listen to these a lot. All the stories are interesting. I'm very excited to have you on here. I'm excited to be on here. I listen to these a lot.

All the stories are interesting.

I'm thinking mine might not be as interesting as some of the others, but people will find it.

Way to sell it.

I think yours is very interesting.

That's why I wanted you to be on here.

So, Bob, how did this start for you?

Did you grow up as a motorsports fan?
