We share the stories and inspiration that will help get more people behind the wheel and on the track. Track days, HPDE, SCCA, NASA, ChampCar, LeMons, and autocrossing - we interview drivers and industry insiders that will help drivers along their motorsports journey.
The name, Late To Grid? In the past the host, Bill Snow, was always late to the track, late to get the car ready, and hence - Late To Grid. His goal with the podcast is to grow the sport and highlight the tools and resources that will help you get to the track and faster behind the wheel.

Chase McIntyre - Spec Miata Racer
Chase McIntyre started his racing journey in his senior year in high school when his parents sent him to the Mid-Ohio driving school as a graduation gift. From there he rented a Spec Racer Ford from previous guest Reed Kryder to see how he could do in a real race car. He went on to get his NASA and SCCA license during a driving school at VIR.
Chase races a Spec Miata and in 2021 won Rookie of the year and the SLT championship with Neohio SCCA.
In 2022 he won the Neohio regional Spec Miata Championship with Spec Miata wins at Nelson Ledges and Mid-Ohio.
For 2023 Chase intends to continue in Spec Miata with a focus on regional and super tour events with the goal to get to SCCA run offs. He'll also compete in some endurance events.
Some of the great advice Chase shares:
- Use Simulators and YouTube to learn new tracks
- Check out the book, Making Sense of Squiggly Lines
- Network + We should all be nice to one another
