Welcome to KalebVestal.com. Does it sound like I’m copying Jeff Gluck and Toby Christie? Maybe, but only because those two have been crucial players in the NASCAR media scene. Gluck, Christie, and many others have set the standards on how to run a NASCAR news site, and hopefully, KalebVestal.com will turn into something special. 

Why now? Well, to be honest, it was the right timing. For those who don’t know, I have been with SpeedwayDigest.com since the day I started Motorsports journalism. They took a chance on a random 19-year-old from Southwest Missouri who was the only kid in school who loved racing. They gave me opportunities that I could only dream of and allowed me to meet people that I’d never thought I would. But as of late, I wanted to create something of my own and make my path to the NASCAR beat scene. I wanted something to create for this sport because it’s given me so much happiness for me. 

So what will KalebVestal.com provide content-wise? Just about a little bit of everything. I plan to do race recaps for each race weekend, as well as start a column called ‘Katchin’ Up with Kaleb’ that will focus on various news topics throughout the week, as well as voice my opinion on things. I also plan to start some stuff just for the ARCA/NASCAR Truck series, as those two series might be overlooked in retrospect. 

KalebVestal.com will be a work in progress. You don’t just start with a perfect racing website your first go around. I’ve never done anything like this before, so I will be learning throughout the weeks how to give the readers what they want. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the content on this page, feel free to email me at kalebvestal51@gmail.com. 

Before I’m done, I just want to thank you all who have followed my work for the past three seasons. I try to write pieces that people will be interested in and that they can’t find anywhere else. I hope to continue this on my new adventure. 

Thanks again, and hope you stick around to see KalebVestal.com grow.
