Julia Landauer finally made her NASCAR national series debut, and she’s taking us through the journey of getting there. Landauer dishes on how hard qualifying was; if she feels any differently about the accident with Justin Allgaier; expectations of the weekend versus reality; preparing for a race after being out of a car since 2020; Landauer’s experience racing overseas, and the difference in racing culture; running in the Pinty’s Series; not having the climb up the ladder and racing map she expected; where Landauer thought she’d be in 2022; having a bit of envy over the success of her fellow NASCAR Next alum; the closest she came to giving up on racing; a nerd deep dive that landed her sponsors for her Xfinity Series debut; building a brand that bridges outside interests with racing; getting into public speaking; #becauseracecar on social media; cautious optimism about 2023 options.
