Whether you know him as Brad or “Bread” Perez, he is here to talk about living the NASCAR dream. Perez takes us inside his role as a tire specialist in the Camping World Truck Series and making his driving debut earlier this year, discussing:
• The way he started to network into the sport
• Not being mechanically inclined
• Getting a taste for racing with a Spec Miata
• Not coming from a racing family but being a race fan who dreamed of being a driver
• Memories of attending races at Homestead-Miami Speedway
• Introducing family and friends to NASCAR through his passion for it
• If his parents now understand Perez’s love for racing and being there for his Truck debut
• Moving to North Carolina and how Ryan Vargas played a role
• Working many other non-racing jobs to earn money for racing
• Why Perez thinks he’s become a popular figure in the garage and on social media
• If he reminded himself to enjoy the experience of his Truck Series debut
• Whether he feels he’s settling for a job in racing versus driving
• Potentially having a die-cast made of his Truck from his debut
