In 2007, Gluck was hired by the
NASCAR Scene as an associate editor. In 2009, he was laid off from
NASCAR Scene due to economic issues caused by the
Great Recession. At the same time, then-startup sports news blog
SB Nation was looking for a
NASCAR reporter to write for their website. CEO
Jim Bankoff would proceed to hire Gluck, before leaving at the end of 2012 for
USA Today. In 2016, Gluck would come under fire from
NASCAR after he wrote an article with the headline "NASCAR looks beyond declining attendance, TV ratings". NASCAR, which had been experiencing declining rating and attendance, was worried about their public appearance in the media, and during a midseason update meeting, a high-ranking official told Gluck and drivers that Gluck's coverage was "killing the sport." In a meeting without Gluck, someone held a copy of the article as an example of unneeded and unaffordable negative coverage at the time. Some drivers, including
Carl Edwards, were also angry at Gluck, and one driver, who had not read the article, confronted Gluck at the racetrack. In 2017, Gluck would leave
USA Today due to "family-related reasons" and would instead start up his own site that was funded by his own readers. According to Gluck, his wife, Sarah, was trying to become a Child Life Specialist, which would need the Gluck family to have flexibility on moving around the country. In 2019, Gluck joined
The Athletic when the sports website expanded to cover
motorsports. == Personal life ==
