0:00.0 | And hello everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Untitled Jeff Buck podcast. I'm your host Jeff Gluck. And today I'm talking to a former driver who raced extensively in the late model ranks and also had five starts in the K&E series, racing with the likes of |
0:39.4 | Matt de Benedetto, Corey LaJoy, Ryan Shurex. And she, yes she, is still involved in NASCAR, but is no |
0:48.2 | longer a driver. She is the PR rep for Dale Earnhardt Jr. She is Tiff Daniels. The driving portion of Tiff's career is over, |
0:57.9 | as is the engineering portion. She was also an engineer for Chip Canassie Racing for three years |
1:04.7 | working on Jamie McMurray's car and Juan Pablo Montoya's car. But she is now basically at the top of the food chain for PR reps |
1:13.8 | because she's been working with Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the last couple years and is obviously |
1:19.3 | a valuable member of the Hendrick Motorsports Media Relations team. Now as part of Tiff's job, |
1:25.0 | she also tweets under the handle at Hendrick 88 team where where she gives updates on what Dale Earnhardt Jr. is up to, as well as race play-by-play during the events themselves. |

1:56.0 | and Tiff is going to shed some light on what goes on from a social media standpoint, from somebody that |
2:02.1 | does driver PR. I don't even know if that's the right term. Yeah, no, that's accurate. We like to |
2:07.6 | make it fancy and call it media relations, but yeah, PR is easy. Media relations. Okay, so as part of |
2:15.6 | media relations, you are running an account that's giving |
2:18.9 | updates on Driver during a race, and a lot of fans are depending on this account. They're |
2:24.7 | like eager for information. How do you decide what updates to send out? How do you decide, |
2:30.4 | I'm going to leave this off? So with Dale, obviously, almost any content people want to see, right, the more Dale, |
2:39.2 | the better for our fan base. |
2:41.4 | However, you know, there are those moments that I certainly wouldn't want to intrude on with |
2:47.2 | him on the track. |
2:48.0 | So I'm mainly giving them a little bit of an insider perspective, but still things that |
