Phil Lanning is a multi award winning journalist and sports publicist, during his career he has written for The Sun newspaper for over 25 years, as well as writing leading articles for the Speedway Star, and working directly alongside names such as Tai Woffinden, Jason Crump and Gary Havelock in managing their PR and publicity coverage.He’s also the youngest son of legendary commentator Dave Lanning, the voice the vast majority of speedway fans will have grown up with, and so it’s little surprise that Phil continues his dad’s work reporting on and promoting the sports of Speedway and Darts.We’ll get to know a little more about what it was like growing up in a family so dedicated to speedway and surrounded by well known names. From watching racing on Neil Middleditch’s shoulders to Bruce Penhall lending his jacket. We’ll also look at how tough it is for speedway to make an impression in the national press, and how today’s young riders can make themselves stars.Plus Phil will also be describing his own dream speedway meeting before the end too.
