 From Legos and Hot Wheels to building Donut Media into a cultural powerhouse, Nolan Sykes has lived a life surrounded by cars. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about his early drag racing days, working on nostalgia funny cars, and his unusual path through college that ultimately set him up for a career in car media. We also dig into today’s car scene — why the Nissan Z feels more fun than the Supra, how truck culture is evolving, and what the future of grassroots motorsports might look like.
