(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)

On this episode of Inside the SCCA, podcast host Brian Bielanski sits down with rising racing talent Asad Nikadambaev, who stunned the field during the 2026 Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour at Buttonwillow Raceway Park by taking victory in Spec Racer® Ford Gen3 against multiple SCCA National Champions. This 15-year-old Northwest Region member’s journey began the way it does for many modern drivers (karting and relentless practice on the sim), but his rise through the SCCA ranks has been incredibly fast.

If you want to understand how young drivers climb the motorsports ladder, this episode offers a look inside the mindset, preparation, and family support behind a rising racing career.

Inside the SCCA is also available on most podcast players, like this one:
