Show Summary:
In Motorvate Episode 3 - Leading Ladies in Motorsports, Angie welcomes two trailblazing women in motorsports media: Deb Williams and Lee Spencer. Both women have overcome significant barriers to become respected figures in the NASCAR world, paving the way for future generations of women in the sport. Throughout the episode, Deb and Lee share their unique stories of how they entered motorsports, the challenges they faced as women in a male-dominated industry, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. From building credibility and trust in the garage to adapting to the modern demands of media and social media, their experiences highlight the dedication and resilience required to succeed in the fast-paced world of NASCAR.
 3 Key Points:
1. Building Trust and Credibility: Both Deb and Lee discuss how trust was earned in the NASCAR garage, particularly as women in a male-dominated field. The importance of professionalism, confidence, and building relationships with drivers, PR reps, and team members played a key role in their success.
2. Breaking Barriers for Women in Motorsports Media: In the early years, women weren’t welcomed in the garage, and it was tough for Deb and Lee to be taken seriously.

3. Navigating Modern Media and Social Media: The landscape of motorsports media has shifted dramatically with the rise of social media and the democratization of journalism. Deb and Lee reflect on how the speed of social media affects traditional journalism and the challenges of balancing the pursuit of quick clicks with the integrity of getting the facts right.
