Charese Fruge’ (@MCMediaonline) Talks To Alex WeaverAlex Weaver has to have one of the best jobs ever. And talk about “breaking the glass ceiling!” She’s a Host and Reporter for NASCAR and the Motor Racing Network (MRN). She wears many hats. Her studio shows include recaps of the events from previous races, previews of the upcoming races and interviews with the sports’ biggest stars. Her weekends are spent traveling across the country to racetracks and being a firsthand liaison between the competition on the track and the family of NASCAR fans. She just recently added MRN to her resume and serves as a pit-road reporter for one of NASCAR’s most prestigious networks.
It all started for Weaver with her lifelong love of sports. “I grew up in the Charlotte area. I loved sports and was a part of a very athletic family,” she says. “I then attended Clemson University and experienced my first job in sports reporting and producing for the Clemson Athletics video team and Clemson football. From that point on, I continued to grow my skills alongside the program. I took a job with Raycom Media right after college and worked in Georgia for a little over a year. Now, I’m kicking off my sixth full-time season for NASCAR.”
