Patrick Reynolds: Accelerating Life’s Journey through Airwaves and Racetracks
Meet Patrick Reynolds, a New England native whose journey took an unexpected turn, merging the high-speed world of NASCAR with the dynamic realm of radio and entertainment. Relocating to the vibrant Charlotte, NC area to pursue his career in NASCAR, Patrick dove into the heart of the racing industry. He wasn’t just a spectator; he built cars, changed tires, and crisscrossed the nation’s speedways.
The 2008 recession hit the racing industry hard, leading to a downturn in sponsorships and a subsequent reduction in the auto racing workforce. Undeterred, Patrick, in search of his next venture, stumbled upon a golden opportunity – a co-host position on a new auto racing talk show at local radio station WSIC.
What began as a co-host role evolved into a multifaceted career at WSIC. Patrick’s journey saw him expanding into the station’s morning show, the newsroom, and eventually launching his self-produced motorsports talk show. His dynamic career path includes stints in advertising and sponsorship sales, radio show and podcast hosting, and becoming the charismatic emcee for various events.
Today, Patrick Reynolds takes the helm as the host of “News Drive at 5” on WSIC Radio, delivering the latest news with a blend of expertise and enthusiasm. Beyond the airwaves, he is the charismatic emcee for Waves Entertainment, lending his vibrant presence to events such as ‘Tawba Walks,’ Lowe’s YMCA July 3rd Celebration, the stage at Birkdale Village, The Amp in Ballantyne, and countless more.
