Episode 74: Steve Luvender

Almost everyone knows him, but not many know about him. Steve Luvender, one of the funniest people in the NASCAR twitterverse, is this week’s guest (29:00). Davey and Steve discuss his love for sim racing and how that sparked his interest in the sport and how Trading Paints on iRacing has become a staple of the platform, just as Random Fantasy Racing (and other hilarious random generators) have over the years. Plus, calling himself a “field filler” leads to a random discussion about Reed Sorenson (hi if you’re listening, Reed), working with nascarcasm, compiling a gargantuan folder of driver pictures and being an overall meme connoisseur. The two also discuss a myriad of food takes, including the hierarchy of soups, breakfast delicacies, whether it’s “plain” or “cheese” pizza, whoopie pies and more. Michael Jordan is starting a NASCAR team in 2021, and Davey explains why the move is monumental, coming with the possibility for it transcend sports. Also, a recap of the Bristol cutoff race which saw four drivers’ championship hopes dashed, a preview of the Round of 12 opener from Las Vegas, Sam Mayer's historic evening and more.
