Steve Letarte: "I Don't Think the Coverage Gets to Decide Who the Star Is"

"The fans get to determine who the stars are, and the performance of the athletes determines who the stars are," Letarte said. The crew chief-turned-analyst, who worked with superstars like Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. at HMS, insisted, "Our job is to cover what they're doing on the racetrack." Letarte works with NASCAR on NBC, TNT, and Amazon Prime.
