The Racing Network

Is North American motorsports dying, or is it stronger than ever? When car counts are down, it’s easy to panic, but George Silbermann, President of ACCUS (the sole FIA National Sporting Authority for the U.S.) gives us the 30,000-foot view you need. A motorsports veteran who's worked for IMSA and as a high-ranking executive at NASCAR, Silbermann is uniquely positioned to judge the true health of motorsports in the US.

Inside the SCCA – Episode 245 Host Brian Bielanski welcomes rookie driver Bryce McGuire, who shares his incredible journey from dirt bikes in South Africa to preparing for his first SCCA Runoffs at Road America. What started as a simple email asking for advice turned into a full episode packed with rookie lessons, paddock mentorship stories, and insider tips for first-time Runoffs drivers. Bryce talks about crewing before racing, how his mentor Mark Bradley helped him break into competition, and how a “one-race plan” turned into 20 weekends of racing in a single season. Along the way, he picked up Rookie of the Year honors and set his sights on the Runoffs. Special guest Austin Bradshaw joins to share his Runoffs debut experience at Indianapolis and offers practical advice to help Bryce—and other rookies—make the most of their first trip to America’s biggest club racing event. Highlights: * From dirt bikes to production cars: Bryce’s racing journey. * The surprising email that landed him on the show. * How to prepare mentally, financially, and technically for the Runoffs. * Rookie tips from Austin Bradshaw on managing the week, tires, and pressure. * What makes Road America such a special stage for a Runoffs debut. #SCCA #Runoffs #GrassrootsMotorsports #RoadAmerica #InsideTheSCCA #RacingPodcast #RookieDriver #MotorsportJourney Partners - A big thank you to our partners who help make Inside the SCCA possible!
