My Interview With NASCAR Fan Ashley Schindler

How long have you been a NASCAR fan for?

 NASCAR has always been on in my house, but I have to say that I began really following the sport at the age of ten.

 Growing up in NY did you get to go to a lot of races as a child?

What made you decide to start you blogs up when you where a teen?

 Growing up, I usually went to Dover and Pocono because they were somewhat close, but I had attended races at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Bristol Motor Speedway.

 What made you decide to start you blogs up when you where a teen?\

 I started my blog, The NASCAR Corner, about four and a half years ago, just as something fun to do to keep me occupied during the summer and it spiraled from there.

How are your blogs doing since your in School full time?

 Being in school definitely makes it harder to write as much as I used to, but I do my best to get content out whenever possible.

  What is the best way to succeed in racing blogs?

 I’d have to say the best way to succeed in blogging is to write from the heart and share the link for the articles on your social media accounts so more people read it. 

What are you're fave tracks?

 My favorite tracks are Bristol, Talladega, and Charlotte.

Do you have any racing heros?

As far as racing heroes goes, I don’t really have any, but on the reporting side, my biggest hero is Steve Byrnes – he has been such a positive influence in my life for about four years now.  

 \Why did you decide to take journalism for NASCAR?

 I’m majoring in Mass Media with a minor in Journalism because I would love to one day be a NASCAR television reporter. 

 What was it like to go to the studio to meet some media people you look up to?

I’ve gone to FOX Sports 1 twice now and it has been an Honor both times. Getting to sit down and talk with the people who are doing what I aspire to do is truly inspiring.  

 

 Do you plan on getting to any races this year?

 This year, I plan on going to Charlotte, Martinsville, and Talladega. If more become available to me, then I’ll be going. 

 what would be your advice to me in my second year of doing racing blogs?

 My advice for you in blogging is just keep doing what you love and don’t let anyone get you down. 

What is your main goal for your future?

 My main goal is to work as a NASCAR television reporter for FOX Sports 1, covering the sport I love.
