Anthony Jewell

From go-karts to SuperUtes, Anthony Jewell has carved his way up the Australian motorsport ladder with a mix of determination, family heritage, and a touch of chaos.

In this episode, Shane and Brent chat with the Perth-based racer about growing up around race tracks, making the leap from Excels to Bathurst, and what it’s really like to drive up Mount Panorama for the first time.

Jewell shares stories of wrecked karts, reverse-grid nightmares, Street Machine magazine spreads, and lessons learned under pressure.

It’s a raw, funny and honest look at the grind behind the glory — and why you’ll never forget your lights out moments.
