About Ben Bomberger		Email

Ben Bomberger is a journalist looking to break into a sport that he once made fun of people for watching. Growing up, he wondered why people spent hours upon hours watching cars go in circles.

One day he sat and watched an entire race and fell in love.

Now, he writes daily about the sport and hopes to cover it full-time in the future.

Bomberger contributes to BleacherReport.com and has had articles featured on CBSSports.com, Foxsports.com, Jayski.com, SpeedwayMedia.com and SportsIllustrated.com, as well as writes for a tri-weekly newspaper in Galax, VA (GalaxGazette.com).
