All right, everybody.

Welcome back to another edition of Untitled Jeff Gubb's podcast. I'm your host Jeff Gluck, and today it is a How I Got Here version of the podcast with Dave Alpern, who is the

president of Joe Kiv's Racing. It's pretty cool that he was willing to do this. I got some

feedback recently that said, hey, you know, you might want to mix it up a little bit. You've done

some PR people lately, marketing people. Let's hear from somebody else. So guess what? We have a

team president. Now Dave Alpern was at Joe Gibbs Racing and then took over the president

role when J.D. Gibbs began having his health issues. As you know, he's been battling a brain

condition for several years now and is no longer able to be in control of things at Joe Gibbs

racing, which has required others like Dave to step up, and we will talk

about that in the podcast. So I sat down with Dave at Texas Motors Speedway recently on

race day. So have a listen to our conversation for this week's How I Got Here feature.

All right, everybody, I'm here with Dave Alpern. Dave, thank you so much for doing this. I'm really

excited that you want to do it. Well, I've enjoyed reading them and following your podcast. I'm also

excited that we're indoors because it's very cold in Texas this weekend. Yeah, it's very

chilly out there. So we're like, this is like a fireside chat. Yeah, it is. It is. Minus the fire, but it does feel like it.

I appreciate we'll pretend this lamp is a.

Yeah, exactly.

So I know you from your role at Joe Gibbs Racing, but I don't know anything really about your

backstory.

I'm going to this totally blind.

Yeah.

So I'm excited to hear your journey.
