Beyond the Visor - Episode 8 - Tony LaPorta: Life Behind the Mic

Tony LaPorta broke out to the national dirt racing scene in 2021 when he took over the reins of the United States Auto Club's full-time announcing duties. His tenure there was over at the end of the year, and he spent the next two years trying to find his way back behind a microphone. That call came with the formation of the High Limits Racing series and Tony found himself back behind the mic, and back on the screen handling the pit reporting duties for the newly founded series. His personal and story-based approach has made him one of the top media figures not only in dirt racing, but the entire sport of auto racing. In this episode, Tony talks about the experiences of living life on the road, what his favorite stops have been along the way, and how they handle pleasing four different people all with different personalities. Tony lays out how he first got into racing and then subsequently announcing. Tony and Zane talk about the importance of storytelling before Tony shares his final thoughts.
