Andrea started creating content in 2024 to share her love for Formula 1, and that’s how Apex Andrea was born. But it didn’t take long before F1 just wasn’t enough and she quickly fell down the motorsports rabbit hole and became a huge fan of IndyCar and NASCAR too.

Along the way, she met MJ through the motorsports community, and the two teamed up to start the Laps Down Podcast, a comedic motorsports podcast.

Originally from Michigan, Andrea’s now based in the Washington, D.C. area, but she’s always game for talking racing no matter where she is.

Buddy is the son of a single mother who raised him on NASCAR. Since the time he can remember, it’s all he’s ever known. He learned his numbers, letters, and colors by what was on the side of a race car. As a North Carolina native, you can imagine he grew up at the racetrack, going to races since he was 5 years old. He’s been fortunate enough to build some incredible friendships from a common love of cars going in circles.

Covering Late Models for ATYL, he brings the heart and passion of “Saturday Night” to all of us watching On Tour.
