Whether you know him as Brad or “Bread” Perez, he is here to talk about living the NASCAR dream. Perez takes us inside his role as a tire specialist in the Camping World Truck Series for Rackley W.A.R.; the way he started to network into the sport; not being mechanically inclined; getting a taste for racing with a spec Miata; not coming from a racing family but being a race fan who dreamed of being a driver; memories of attending races at Homestead-Miami Speedway; introducing family and friends to NASCAR through his passion for it; if his parents now understand Perez’s love for racing and being there for his Truck debut; transitioning to North Carolina and how Ryan Vargas played a role; working many other non-racing jobs to earn money for racing; why Perez thinks he’s become a popular figure in the garage and on social media; if he’s used social media to his advantage; if he reminded himself to enjoy the experience of his Truck Series debut; if Perez feels he’s settling for a job in racing versus driving; potentially having a die-cast made of his truck from his debut.
