BECCA GLADDEN
Freelance NASCAR Writer & Analyst
Phoenix, Arizonaoo
About Becca Gladden ... Becca Gladden is a freelance writer and analyst covering NASCAR's Sprint Cup series for several print, multimedia, and internet outlets. Gladden combines a distinctive writing style with unique insight and wit, delivering articles that are consistently accurate and intriguing.
Gladden began writing about stock-car racing for The Stock Car Review and soon moved on to Insider Racing News, where her weekly column currently appears. Becca also writes three handicapping articles a week for the sports website Nascapper.com.
Becca has worked as a feature writer for RaceWeek, a weekly NASCAR newspaper; as a NASCAR Analyst for WHOK Radio in Columbus (OH), a Motor Racing Network (MRN) affiliate station, and on the Carey and Coffey show at ESPN Radio 940/1510,as well as NASCAR Correspondent for El Paso (TX) Metro Sports, a Time-Warner cable TV network. Recently, Becca served as an Assistant Editor for the Athlon Sports 2008 NASCAR Preview magazine.
Says Gladden, "There's a reason why NASCAR has experienced such unprecedented growth in recent years. No other sport provides the same intense, high-speed thrill ride that NASCAR delivers week in and week out. People who don't like NASCAR really don't know NASCAR. The more involved you are with the sport, the more you find to value and appreciate about it."
Becca believes that the drivers will always be the backbone of the sport, and enjoys sharing information and perspective with her readers that may be missing from the mainstream media headlines.
Ms. Gladden resides in Phoenix, Arizona, and is currently available for short-term and long-term writing, speaking, and public relations assignments.
