Rusty catches up with the likeable host of Fox Sport’s Supercars coverage during her final preparations for the Great Race - the 2024 Bathurst 1000.

Jess Yates' story is one of incredible drive and determination. She is a story teller who understands the nuances of racing and the business of Motorsport and can seamlessly shift from catering to hardcore race fans and casual viewers.

From working in Laos of all places in her early years, doing the hard yards at Channel Nine and Channel Ten in Australia before landing a dream job with Fox Sports, she takes us into all of the details of her journey, including some of the mentors who provided sage advice along the way, legends that now share the host set with her. 

It’s easy listening to this chat and you’ll discover why Jess is such an inspiration.
