Eve Nowell

Eve Nowell grew up in a racing family, around engines and pit lanes before she was old enough to drive. At Backfire News she covers off-roading, classic car culture and motorsports, and the people who build and race the machines. She's a stickler about details, because gearheads notice when you get one wrong. Early in her career and still finding her voice, she's usually trackside or in the garage, chasing the next story.
