Designated Driver Napa Sonoma

Industry veteran Wendy Venturini joins Davey Segal this week (7:40) to discuss her vast career in and out of motorsports spanning almost a quarter of a century. She explains the misconception with her last name and ARCA Menards Series powerhouse Venturini Motorsports, growing up in a racing family, pursuing motorsports as a career avenue and starting at the bottom in production before working her way up to on air broadcasting.

Venturini also shares the story of how the opportunity at SPEED came about while working at NASCAR Productions, the experience of working on NASCAR RaceDay with Rutledge Wood, Kenny Wallace, Jimmy Spencer, John Roberts and more, the differences and nuances between television and radio and what makes each discipline unique.

She also reflects on her near fatal accident in 2018 at Sonoma, where she suffered a basilar skull fracture after being struck by a car, the road to recovery that followed (figuratively and literally) and those that helped her along the way to return to broadcasting some 2 months later (!) at Bristol Motor Speedway, of all places.

She also dives into her entrepreneurial success as an owner of Burn Boot Camp franchises, how it may have helped save her life, what she'd still like to accomplish in her career and more.

Davey also discusses Kyle Larson's dominant Bristol win and the ensuing industry reaction to the performance, previews Kansas to kick off the Cup Series Round of 12 and Papa Segal pays homage to "Big Daddy" Don Garlits.

Toyota development and current Venturini Motorsports driver Isabella Robusto joins Davey Segal (6:55) to discuss her unique background in motorsports and already impressive career to this point. She explains how she prepares for a race during the week and on the weekend, how she eventually won over her mom (literally) after being a bit skeptical of her racing at a young age, what it was like competing directly against her brother on track and how the progression up the ladder was for her.

She also dives into the concussion she suffered at Hickory in a late model crash and the 10+ month recovery that followed, what she learned during the process and why she's an advocate for educating other female racers about the importance of head injuries, the memorable first trip to an intermediate track this season for Venturini Motorsports, why she's majoring in aerospace engineering at Arizona State while racing full-time, getting the call from Toyota to be a part of their driver development program, how she approaches being a woman in a male-dominated industry and more, including her escapades as a kicker for her high school football team, sneaker collecting hobbies, her path to eventually become a Cup Series driver and more.

Davey also chats about Shane van Gisbergen's Chicago Street Course win, the success of the event in year three, looks ahead to Sonoma and Papa Segal pays homage to Tony Glover.

Episode 278: Isabella Robusto

[Verse 1]
Morning takes a longer breath,
vineyard rows turn gold and red.
Steam curls off a coffee cup,
first small clouds are filling up.
Hood Mountain wears a woolen line,
creek repeats a nursery rhyme.
Footsteps in the brittle leaves—
you smile and pull your jacket sleeves.

[Pre-Chorus]
Days lean short, nights lean near,
porch lights flicker on sincere.
We listen to the quiet rain begin—
tap… then stop… then come again.

[Chorus]
In the Valley of the Moon we’re turning,
soft as pages in a well-loved tune.
Every leaf a little lantern,
every dusk arrives too soon.
Another year is folding open—
not an ending, just a room.
Hold my hand; let’s walk the headlines
of the Valley of the Moon.

[Verse 2]
Windows catch the amber sky,
pumpkins grin as cars roll by.
Sonoma stones still hold the day,
but evening cools the heat away.
First shy rain on porch-rail tin,
a promise of the storms to spin.
We count the holidays ahead
like candles gathered, careful, spread.

[Pre-Chorus]
List the names we want to call,
save a chair and set a shawl.
Write a note by kitchen light—
“Come on over; stay the night.”

[Chorus]
In the Valley of the Moon we’re turning,
soft as pages in a well-loved tune.
Every leaf a little lantern,
every dusk arrives too soon.
Another year is almost spoken—
let it whisper, let it bloom.
Keep this gentleness in motion
in the Valley of the Moon.

[Final Chorus]
In the Valley of the Moon we’re turning,
hearts like vineyards after noon.
If the rain begins to wonder,
we will hum along in tune.
Another year—no need to rush it,
let the sky make extra room.
Walk me home by grapevine starlight
through the Valley of the Moon.
