Drag Illustrated is proud to announce the addition of The Stat Guy Show hosted by Chris LeCloux to its fast-growing media lineup. The premiere episode of the show on the DI network, which brings a fresh, data-driven take on the sport of drag racing, will air tonight on Drag Illustrated’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
LeCloux’s show joins a roster of original programming that includes The Wes Buck Show with Wes Buck, Mike Carpenter, and JT Hudson; Reaction Time with Kayla Zadel; PDRA Live! with Nate Van Wagnen; and The Racing Business with Jason Dukes.
“Hot takes and talking heads are an integral part of the modern media landscape,” said Wes Buck, Founder & Editorial Director of Drag Illustrated. “But what I’m especially excited about is the stat-heavy angle Chris is bringing to the table. I want to see more people in drag racing talking about things like win-loss records, average reaction times, and qualifying consistency — just like fans of stick-and-ball sports do. These numbers tell stories. These numbers start conversations.”
Buck continued: “I’m thrilled to add another show to our growing lineup and continue to serve our mission of growing and building the sport of drag racing. I’m equally excited to bring another personality to the forefront. I’m really proud of the personal brands we’ve helped develop via the Drag Illustrated platform.”
In the past year alone, Drag Illustrated programming has generated more than 40 million video views, further cementing its role as the industry’s leading content hub for racers, fans, and insiders alike.
Chris LeCloux, widely recognized for his passion for statistics and drag racing analytics, is ready to bring his unique voice to the DI audience.
“I’m incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with Drag Illustrated,” said LeCloux. “I’ve witnessed the growth of shows like The Wes Buck Show, and I can’t wait to bring The Stat Guy Show to another level. I’m excited to learn from the best in the industry and to help promote drag racing to its full extent.”
With the launch of The Stat Guy Show, Drag Illustrated continues to expand its media offerings and push drag racing conversation into new territory – one number at a time.
