The Teardown

Shake’em and Bake’em gents! haha! great pod.

I have met Jeff on several occasions. Not only is Jeff an amazing writer, but more so an approachable and constant professional. His outlook on NASCAR and other forms of auto racing is fair and honest. This is why the drivers respect and trust Jeff. Thanks Jeff and Jorden for hosting the podcast for us, your passionate fans. Be well and stay safe. Hope to see you in 2021!

Jeff and Jordan were two of the better NASCAR journalists but recently they’ve gone down the YouTuber road of offering their opinions on things instead of just talking about what’s happening in motorsports. The podcast is heavily NASCAR biased (but they’ll give 1-2 terrible F1 or IndyCar takes per episode. IMSA and every other form of Motorsport just doesn’t exist) and very reactionary. Every new winner is suddenly a “final four” favourite. Jordan has become insufferable. He claims to be “team chaos” but he’s really “team contrarian”. He’d debate his own winning lottery numbers and it just gets old. This show used to be pretty good, but Jeff and Jordan caught their own shadows and think they’re celebs now. It’s a shame. I’ve removed downloads and canceled my Athletic subscription. Racer.com has MUCH better motorsports coverage.

Jeff and Jordan try their best to get the podcast out immediately after the race, yet don’t talk about it. They talk about if the racing was “good”, how they think people will perceive the race, how many fans were there, what the track can do to make the racing better, etc but don’t talk about THE RACE. I want to hear about overachievers, underachievers, highlights, pitstops, crashes, the winner, the runner up, standings, playoffs, etc. Plus, Jeff Gluck is painful to listen to at times. He’s got a voice for writing.
