About The NASCAR
Corner…
Some people believe that
a 20-year-old girl who likes NASCAR - or any form of racing - is "weird." I'd like to think of myself more as an
individual. Plenty of girls like hockey,
baseball, basketball, and even golf, so why is it so weird that a girl likes NASCAR? Let me formally introduce
myself, my name is Ashley Schindler and I’m a junior Mass Media major at UNC Charlotte. I would ultimately like to work for NASCAR as
a Race Reporter; so you've been forewarned, you may end up seeing my face on your TV one
day, and for that, my most sincere apologies.
In June 2010, I knew that I didn’t want to be
sitting in my house doing summer homework, so I started a blog, about nothing else but one of my favorite topics,
NASCAR, not thinking anything would come out of it. I always liked to write,
but I was very shy about people reading
what I wrote. In the five - years that The NASCAR Corner has
been in publication, over 250,000 people have checked out this blog.
I try to provide the
NASCAR Community with a unique outlook on the sport. Being only 20, I’m
able to bring a younger perspective on the sport. I also cover
up-and-coming drivers and teams to help them gain more exposure as they work
their way up the ranks of NASCAR stardom and I often go to my fellow NASCAR
fans on their opinions on a topic. In addition to this, I allow other
fans to ask my opinion in my “Ask the Crew Chief” Series I write.

I’ve been a NASCAR fan
for as long as I can remember, but my first race was the Dover Nationwide Race
in June 2005 at the tender age of ten. My favorite tracks are Charlotte,
Bristol, Daytona, and Talladega. I’ve had the privilege of meeting
many drivers, in all series, including ARCA, Truck, Nationwide, and Cup.
