  • This is, by far, one of the best articles I’ve ever read.  Period.  On any subject.  I have now become a Rebecca fan.
  • Pure genius Rebecca!!!......I have never read your column, but the headline link in Jayski got my attention.  Great job. 
  • I completely agree with your articles on this subject.  I have one suggestion for you: Send that article, by email, postal mail, whatever, to the head office of every race track that NASCAR patronizes.  Thank you for your wonderful articles and insight.
  • Superb article, Rebecca.  I've heard it said before, but not with the impact and eloquence you impart.
  • I just read your article and I think you hit the point dead on.  You carry on girl!!!  I love your articles, you tell it the way it is.
  • I don’t often take the time to write in and comment on an internet article, however, I felt compelled to do so with your article.  Wow, what an article!  Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding!!!!

About Becca Gladden ...
-
Becca Gladden is a freelance writer and analyst covering NASCAR's Sprint Cup series for various print, multimedia and internet outlets, and a proud member of the National Motorsports Press Association.  Gladden combines a distinctive reader-friendly 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 in 2004 and soon moved on to Insider Racing News, where her weekly column still appears. She has worked as a feature writer for RaceWeek and SpeedWeekly newspapers and as a race handicapper for Nascapper.com and Cappers' Picks.  In addition, Becca works as a NASCAR Correspondent/Analyst for multimedia outlets including radio and TV and is currently the weekly NASCAR reporter on NBC 1260 AM/96.1 FM (Phoenix) "SpeedTalk" segment.

Becca was published in the 'Bonus' section of the Sports Illustrated website (SI.com), and has been a contributor and Assistant Editor for the Athlon Sports 2008, 2009 and 2010 NASCAR Preview issues.

Gladden says, "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.  I am honored to have written a weekly NASCAR column for the past eight years and look forward to doing so for many years to come." 

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. 

In addition to her writing duties, Gladden served as Social Media Director for Team Full Throttle (Mooresville, NC), a driver development organization, and performed marketing and PR services for Activ8 Communications (Mooresville, NC) and Victor Pfluger Racing (Phoenix, AZ).  Gladden is also owner of LimelightWriting.com, a professional press release firm specializing in motorsports. 

Becca Gladden resides in Phoenix, Arizona, and is always available for
writing, speaking and public relations assignments.
