Almost one month to the day that the NTDC 2025 Organizing Committee began its onsite work to prepare for the Opening Day of this year’s Championships, PodWheels caught up with NTDC 2025 Chairman Robert Foskey. In this episode of the podcast, PodWheels Executive Producer Greg Thompson asks Bob to reflect on what took place in Minneapolis during the third week of August.

As you will hear, Bob shares notes of praise for everyone who came together to make NTDC 2025 a memorable event for all who were part of this year’s National Championships. As a past State Champion and a participant in the NTDC program, Bob has a unique perspective when it comes to the experience drivers and their families have at the nationals.

The work by the Organizing Committee, the ATA staff and all the volunteers that came together in Minneapolis represented an effort that was more than a year in the making. As he shares, Bob, who now relishes holding the title of Immediate Past Chairman, is quite grateful for all the work done by the entire team responsible for NTDC 2025. Recorded on the Thursday of National Driver Appreciation Week, Greg also took a moment to ask Bob what Driver Appreciation means to him.
