Get to Know Brodie Kostecki

For this week, I got the chance to interview an iRacer who has been able to take his dream of racing from the sim world, to the real world. A member on iRacing since January 6th, 2010, Brodie Kostecki has started nearly 1,000 oval races and has won over 330 times, his most previous win coming in the Gen 6 Chevy SS cup car at Daytona International Speedway. Already this year, he has started over 100 races and has won 37 times. He has been able to transfer his sim racing talents into the real world.

Having started racing when he was only three and having racing be in his family a long time before he was born, Brodie has definitely gotten used to running in several different types of cars at different types of tracks, and this year is likely his biggest racing challenge to date, as he is running in the UARA Series and the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. In part one of my interview with him, we focus more on his sim racing career and the highs and lows of his sim racing career.
