Host Tenayah McLeod and returning guest Renee Winterbottom hit the road for a candid chat about their unlikely friendship. Renee was instrumental in Tenayah's early career, opening the door to the Supercars paddock.
While volunteering at Supercar events, Tenayah always had a camera close by, filming her brother racing motocross. She was also a devoted fan of Renee's champion husband, Mark Winterbottom, and Renee spotted a kid with real potential.
Listen as the two look back on how an eager Frosty fan with an eye for social media and content turned her support of a driver into a career in the sport.

Jillie Johnson: From the 1980 Bathurst 'Rock' to Meeting Tom Cruise
Jill Johnson has seen about all there is to see when it comes to the Australian motorsport scene. Jillie has been by Dick Johnson's side from the days of the Shell servo in Woolloongabba, to 'The Rock' in 1980, to becoming a 5x Australian Touring Car Champion.
