Meet Our Social Team

Ben Trout
I've been at Bristol since 2000, and currently serve as the track's Sr. Director of Fan Relations and Social Media. I caught the social media bug early, and with me there is no cure. I established the track's social accounts and I'm a self-described social-holic (currently seeking therapy). Regardless of the ever-changing platform social media is an excellent way for Bristol to interact with fans, be it providing timely information or building relationships. Social media is truly a great tool for us here at Bristol Motor Speedway... and it's a heckuva lotta fun."

I've been at Bristol Motor Speedway since 1997, and I'm the Director of Media and Public Relations. It took me a little while to jump onto the social media express but I'm now fully engrossed in it. It's definitely a great way to gain insight into how our fans are feeling about any and all topics and it's a wonderful way to make sure they're always in the loop about everything going on here at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway. Social media is the 'it' way to communicate because in this day and time immediacy is what it's all about.

Logan McCabe
I came to Bristol in 1996 from sports marketing and advertising agencies in Winston-Salem, NC. I'm the vice president of Consumer Marketing for the Speedway and Dragway. And yes, I'm old man on our social team and, despite my ancient age, I've adapted well to today's social world. In my 40 years (yes, I said 40) in the marketing business, nothing has matched the genuine and authentic nature of the social platform as a vehicle to reach out to and understand our customers. I'm blessed to interact with the greatest fans in the world.

Christine Riser
I joined the Bristol Motor Speedway team in 2009 as the Director of Advertising and Promotions. My passion for social media developed during a 20-year career as a television, radio and print journalist, where I was responsible for updating 'all that website stuff' for several news organizations. That was before anyone was really sure of the power online interaction and engagement would hold. I deny the accusation that I'm the loudest person in the Consumer Marketing Department, but sheepishly admit I've been told that in other workplaces. I figure it's a good thing - for your sake - that social media doesn't allow you to hear the laughter or sound effects that usually accompany my posts or writing sessions, but holds out hope that it will someday soon!

Wes Ramey
I've been "slightly" obsessed with motorsports since birth, and joined the Bristol staff after his graduation in 2006. I'm currently the Manager of Media and Public Relations and work heavily with both Speedway and Dragway activities. Thanks to Facebook, I spent many study-less nights during my final year of college. While a little slower to adapt to twitter, I now check it first thing in the morning, last thing at night and several (probably hundreds) of times during the day to keep up with everything happening in the world of motorsports.
I enjoy connecting with the best fans in the world through our social sites and love to provide them with exciting, behind-the-scenes information and pictures from "The World's Fastest Half-Mile" and "Thunder Valley."

I've been with Bristol Dragway since 2009, but I've been around drag racing since I was a little kid. Working in Dragway promotions I spend a lot of time and a lot of weekends at Thunder Valley, but even when I'm not "working" you can still find me at the dragstrip racing cars or motorcycles.... Often both! I love the smell of VHT and race fuel and I love talking about it all on Twitter & Facebook.

Drew Bedard
I joined the Bristol Motor Speedway family in 2011 after 6 years creating, building and executing cutting edge sports marketing and social campaigns at a premiere Sports marketing agency in Charlotte, NC. I love to study emerging social tactics and analytics and I'm committed to providing the best in customer service through our social portals to make sure our fans get the highest level of attention possible.
