Ep. 215 | Dave Moody

Dave Moody spends four hours a day, five days a week talking on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio but he didn’t mind talking some more this week to share how he got here. Moody takes us back to when he first saw a race car and what about it was life changing; when he began getting working opportunities; fielding cars of his own; unexplainably getting on Ken Squier’s radar; part-time opportunities with MRN; the seamless transition between broadcasters on a radio call; the genesis behind SiriusXM Speedway; why it was the worst time to start a show; some of the early battles; being a single host; how the channel and NASCAR’s relationship has changed over the years; having an announcer’s voice; the fear of not having the answer; accusations of being a NASCAR stooge; the process of giving opinions; good and bad days on the job; what keeps Moody going after so many years; a personal connection to Moody.
