Hey there, Charlotte! Let’s talk about someone who’s become a beloved part of the motorsports scene right here in our city. That’s right, we’re shining a spotlight on Kim Coon, a familiar face to anyone who’s a fan of the high-speed world of racing!
For the past ten years, Kim has been at the forefront of covering NASCAR, ARCA, and motorcycle racing, bringing her vibrant energy and deep knowledge of the sport to fans everywhere. Most recently, she’s made waves co-hosting “Off The Grid” on NBC Sports, and she also shares her insights on the wildly popular “Glass Case of Emotion” podcast alongside NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney. If you haven’t tuned in yet, it’s a must-listen for all racing enthusiasts!
As the official spokesperson for NASCAR, Kim has become the voice that connects fans with everything happening on the racetrack. From social media shoutouts to lively trackside events, she embodies the spirit of what motorsports is all about: excitement, energy, and a deep-rooted community.
Kim currently serves as a pit road reporter for the Motor Racing Network (MRN), covering all three national NASCAR series. She’s often seen dashing between cars and chatting with team members, gathering all the latest scoop for the eager fans at home. When she’s not racing through the pits, Kim is busy hosting various digital events and live happenings for NASCAR.
Born and raised in sunny Orlando, Florida, Kim took her thirst for knowledge to the University of Miami, where she double-majored in Broadcasting and Religious Studies. She didn’t stop there; she further honed her skills with a master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from the University of Alabama. During her time at Miami, she not only hit the books but also showcased her talent as a member of the university’s dance team and spent two exhilarating seasons cheering for the Carolina Panthers in the NFL.
Now settled in Charlotte, Kim embraces the vibrant energy of the city while diving into her passions outside racing. She loves getting her hands dirty with DIY home improvement projects, and you might even catch her hunting for antiques or expressing her creativity through painting. An avid reader, she boasts a collection of books that she’s always excited to share with friends.
Charlotte is buzzing with updates on various fronts. Recently, the city was excited to see the whimsical foodmobile from “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2”, bringing smiles and tasty treats. The city is also busy beyond fun events with some serious news. For families with a history of cancer, understanding personal risks is essential—making sure to know what you should watch out for is key!
On a different note, police activity has ramped up as they recovered a stolen FBI gun from a southeast Charlotte apartment, creating a buzz around community safety. Plus, there are exciting updates on streetcar plans, as the city pushes forward with initiatives despite some setbacks! And let’s not forget about that driver who had a tough day when he lost control of his SUV and crashed into a home! Talk about a wild ride!
Amidst all this, the Democratic mayoral candidates are stepping into the spotlight, debating various views and strategies aimed at making Charlotte an even better place to live and work. It’s a pivotal time for local governance, and the conversations happening now will shape the future of the community.
So, whether it’s a high-speed race on the track or a lively debate brewing downtown, Charlotte continues to evolve as a hub of excitement, culture, and community connection. That’s the vibe we love here, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
