**MEET THE TEAM**
The Owner and Founder of Grassroots Racing News is lucashalbert9. Lucas created GRN at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020. While he is originally from Fairfield, Illinois, Lucas is currently attending Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte, North Carolina, in pursuit of a Bachelors in Motorsport Management. 

Lucas began his career in motorsports at his home track, Wayne County Speedway. His experiences there led him to further opportunities with the HART Non-Wing Micro Series where he began to announce races. In the midst of his experience with HART, Lucas began Grassroots Racing News. He covered races on iRacing then transitioned to dirt racing once things started to reopen in the Midwest. 

For the past three years in January Lucas has paid a visit to the Chili Bowl Nationals, operating teams’ social media accounts, Mounce/Stout Motorsports (2021, 2023) and Dave-Mac Dalby Motorsports (2022, 2023).

In April of 2022, Lucas took a chance and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina by himself in pursuit of a career in NASCAR. While in North Carolina he has picked up various opportunities to continue to learn and further his career; including managing social media for Mounce/Stout and Gabe Yacono Racing, announcing at Millbridge Speedway, operating at turn three camera for Pit Row TV, a communications internship at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and covering races on GRN throughout the Carolina’s.

Lucas plans on continuing to cover races and manage social media for Mounce/Stout, Gabe Yacono, and the newly formed Dave Mac-Barnhill Motorsports throughout 2023. He will also pursue internships within the motorsports industry ahead of his completion of college in December.
