Jeffrey Gluck[1] is an American motorsports journalist for The Athletic. Gluck is best known for his coverage of NASCAR races. He has a "12 Questions" interview column where he asks NASCAR and other motorsports drivers 12 different questions each season. He is also known for posting "Quiet Track" photos of empty racetracks and "Was it a good race?" polls on Twitter after races are done.[2] He has previously written for NASCAR Scene, USA Today, and his own reader-funded website.
While in college at the University of Delaware, Gluck would be intrigued by a sports writing class offered by the university. As an avid sports fan, he would take the class and would begin to write for the school's newspaper.[3]
In his first newspaper job in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, he was asked to cover a race at the local Rockingham Speedway. This would spark Gluck's interest in NASCAR.[3]
