In this episode of What Drives Her, hosts Scotty Reiss and Connie Peters get into the world of automotive journalism and motorsports with Alanis King. Join us as we uncover the story behind Alanis' rise from writing for esteemed publications like Jalopnik, Road & Track, and Business Insider to becoming a prominent figure in the realm of online video content creation both independently and in collaboration with brands like Cars & Bids with Doug DeMuro.


From the moment her mother introduced her to NASCAR, Alanis began carving out her path to motorsports coverage and automotive journalism. A passionate pursuit of breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry has fueled King's inspiring career in the world of cars.
