About WFO Radio
WFO Radio is the brainchild of Joe Castello. It is a talk show, delivered via podcast and live stream, focused primarily on NHRA Drag Racing, NASCAR, Sports and Entertainment. Joe is the host, and the show features a cast of characters that include race car drivers, listeners known as the “WFO Universe”, and Joe’s “industry” friends.
Joe Castello has been living his life “On the Air” professionally since 1996 when he worked with Hall of Fame radio host Neil Rogers in Miami, FL. He earned his own show, “Motorsports Saturday” in 1999 and continued deeper into talk radio entertainment with a hit, “The Joe and Marc Show”, eventually moving to the new frontier of Satellite Radio where he continued to develop his brand on NASCAR Radio and Sports Nation.
Since his youth, Joe has been a licensed NHRA bracket racer. Drag racing and racing of all kinds have always been a focus. His driving resume includes three track championships and an 11th place points finish in the prestigious Moroso 5-Day Bracket Race. His driving abilities and passion for racing have led him back to the track, once again.
In 2012, Joe was offered the opportunity to join the National Hot Rod Association in the role of track announcer/ reporter and has become a familiar face on the NHRA tour. NHRA social media shows “Attention in the Pits”, as well as “Inside Pro Stock by Total Seal” have given him the opportunity to act as an ambassador for the sport of drag racing.
Performance TV on Motor Trend Network was the next evolution for Joe as he joined the cast of the long running garage show that features Top Dragster racer, Kathy Fisher and is produced by Master’s Entertainment. The show is broadcast into the homes of hundreds of thousands of automotive fans each week and is perfect entertainment for people who love the car culture.
Joe created WFO Radio, his in house brand, as a place to interview drivers and continue the talk entertainment he started years ago, thus the nickname WFO Joe. WFO Radio creates new content each week:
WFO Radio NHRA Nitro features interviews with stars of NHRA Drag Racing. National Event winners from the NHRA Camping World and Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NHRA personalities, and The Voice of NHRA Alan Reinhart make weekly appearances.
WFO Radio Ignition is pure entertainment! The show is a “stream of consciousness” that covers Sports, NASCAR, F1, Joe’s behind the scenes NHRA stories, and any other subject that deserves attention. Ignition is the perfect platform for the daily grievances that make talk radio great.
The WFO Radio audience is comprised of NHRA and NASCAR target demographics except WFO listeners are tech savvy and very likely to be early adopters of new technology. They use personal devices for entertainment and to purchase products. They represent a unique group of decision makers within the performance industry. Sponsors are viewed as trusted community members, and listeners are more likely to use their products or services than conventional forms of advertising.
WFO Radio is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Facebook, YouTube, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Tune In, PodBean and anything with an internet connection including a dedicated WFO Radio APP for iPhone and Android.
