On this week's Garage Talk, we hang out with John Miles. John owns JM Motorsports, races with us on Wednesday Night Dash and other events. We talk to him about the process of building a sim racing team.

First up, John is a college student at the University of Missouri so we discuss how does he balance iRacing with college and other activities. Side note: if Erik and D.J. had iRacing back in college, things probably would have not gone well. John goes into his process of how he built his team originally with his childhood best friend Jax Malan and the interesting place where they met Lane Snow.

Next, we talk about the challenges of finding sponsors for an esports/sim racing team. John has managed to secure some sponsorships of large companies through meeting with local locations.

Finally, we close out the show talking about the NASCAR Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. How was the clash? Was it better than LA? Should they go back there next year?
