Tom Bowles

Tom Bowles begins his fourth full season with the Frontstretch in 2008, and his third as Editor-In-Chief. That position leaves Tom in charge of overseeing all day-to-day content of the website, as well as both managing and encouraging our dedicated staff of 25 writers, editors, and designers. At the beginning of this season, Tom took on a new challenge; he joined longtime site head Ren Jonsin in becoming co-publisher of the website he’s been a part of for over five years.

To get to the top of the Frontstretch heap, Tom first had to start as a rookie just like everyone else. He began his experience with Frontstretch as a writer in 2004, and it was only after a year writing various news and commentary – culminating in a Monday column entitled “Bowles-Eye View” that’s written to this day – Tom was promoted to Assistant Editor in mid-2005. The following year, he moved up to Co-Editor-In-Chief, and became the sole holder of that position in mid-2006. But the editing responsibilities haven’t curtailed Tom’s writing; not only is Bowles-Eye still going strong, but he’s added a second column entitled “Did You Notice?” that runs on Wednesdays during the 2008 season.

In addition to Frontstretch, Tom’s a freelance writer for various other publications. In his third year of contributing to Sports Illustrated, Tom does the weekly NASCAR power rankings for the site as well as a Thursday column. You can take a look at Tom’s work in the SI archives here. Tom also does various on-air appearances, including a weekly stint as the Frontstretch representative in the Frontstretch / Athlon Racing podcast presented by Pepsi. Listen to the podcast archives here to find out more. And if that’s not busy enough, Tom also works as an Associate Producer for some of the NASCAR broadcasts you see every Sunday.

Tom has been hooked on this sport from the first time he saw a race on television, when he was just eight years old. An Orange Tide Chevrolet went to Victory Lane that day, and Tom became a diehard supporter of Darrell Waltrip from that point on; all the way through his retirement back in 2000. Even now, he’s happy and honored to work with DW as he continues his NASCAR involvement on FOX — even though the “boogity, boogity, boogity!” routine remains intact.

Before The Frontstretch, Tom was a contributor to Mike Calinoff’s website, StockCarCity.com, for over three years. His writing career first began as a volunteer contributor to Catchfence.com during the Winter of 2000.

With a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Syracuse, NY, Tom makes his home outside Philadelphia. If you’ve got a writing, PR, or other NASCAR-related opportunity available, you can get in touch with him at the email address below.

Q & A With Tom Bowles:

What’s Your Favorite Racing Memory?: By far, working the Daytona 500 for the first time in 2007. To be able to be there for the race was amazing in itself; but to have the access you dream of as a little kid was beyond my wildest dreams. Also, I love every time I walk down Gasoline Alley in Indianapolis with the fans cheering above you; that experience is always surreal.

What’s Your Favorite Vacation Spot?: I’m a Philly guy, so I actually like going to the beach in Ocean City, Maryland during the summer when I get some time off; there’s a bar called Secrets that’s second-to-none, and the people and the weather are great.

What’s Your Nickname?: Most everyone calls me by my last name, Bowles. I did have a nickname at the track called Squeaky; I got that when my voice cracked talking to the producer during a TV broadcast. Luckily, that’s faded away over time …

What’s Your Favorite Sports Team Outside Of NASCAR?: I’ve been a diehard New York Mets fan since I was two. Hopefully, Johan Santana will turn it around for us this year …

What’s Your Favorite Musical Artist?: I actually like everything across the board, from rock to alternative to rap. To give you a clue of how drastic it is, in the course of a week in May I’m going from the Darlington event to a Radiohead concert; then, I’ll be at Kanye West’s show the following Saturday in Philadelphia.

Things You’d Like To Accomplish in 2008?: You’re looking at one of my biggest accomplishments right here; hopefully, this website will continue to grow and prosper each day.
