Jennifer Kieper has covered the auto industry for a decade following two automakers through bankruptcy, an ignition switch scandal, surging sales after the recession, and providing WLS-AM 890 with award-winning coverage of the Takata airbag recall.

Jennifer launched, produced, and hosted the weekly “Fox Wheels” segment during her time as the Midwest Correspondent for Fox News Radio.  You can hear her often reporting industry stories on WLS-AM 890, where she’s also the news anchor for The Steve Dahl Show, 2 – 6pm weekdays.

While readily admitting that she leaves it to the experts to explain what’s under the hood she’s not shy about loving to kick it up a notch while behind the wheel.  “I grew up riding around in a ‘68 Mustang, moved up to a ‘74 and eventually ended up buying a garage-kept ‘83 Porsche 944 in the late 90’s,” said Keiper. “It was a sad say when I had to sell that car.”

Jennifer says, “On “Drive Chicago,” every Saturday at 8 a.m., it won’t only be about fast cars but also trucks, SUVs, unique vehicles, industry news, trends, local events, and so much more. “
