COLUMBIA MISSOURIAN
Some stories you go out and find, others end up falling in your lap. The Louie Lovelace story was definitely the latter. When my editor pulled me into his office to follow up on a small newsroom tip, I had no idea just how much this “additional assignment” would consume my life.
Through my reporting it was crazy discovering all the twists and turns of Louie’s story and his passion for racing. Before long I was working with the video and photo department of the newsroom and we turned the Lovelace story into an entire package that ran as the frontpage, centerpiece article.
This article ended up winning awards for its writing and video associated with it by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
