Option 2:

In order to expand the popularity of the American racing series NASCAR across the globe, several athletes from around the world have been called upon to be guest analysts for various races throughout the season, which runs from February through early november. Being that a large chunk of that season falls during the SHL offseason, it should be no surprise that a number of SHL players have been approached for this opportunity. Marek Carda is no difference. Despite having some American roots through his parents, Marek still considers himself Czech and that expands through his admittedly limited knowledge of autosport. He knows a bit about Formula 1 and can recognize Max Verstappen, but knows very little about oval racing or who the personalities are in NASCAR. Undeterred, Marek has set about learning as much as he can so as not to totally embarass himself. While it would be easy to just collect the cheque, he wants to appear somewhat competant and really maximize his own experience. He's used Youtube to learn a bit about the history (they actually did race on Daytona Beach!) and some of the personalities (Petty, Earnhardt, Gordon) and recent deep dives in the the past couple of seasons so that he is prepared for this opportunity. He hasnt actually had this experience yet, but he thinks hes prepared well enough that he should hold his own, especially for a random race in the middle of summer in Pocono, PA - not far from where he lives as a member of the Forge.
