Power Automedia has hired Brian Wagner as lead content creator at Dragzine. Wagner will lead the brand into a new era with support from Jeremy Nichols, senior tech creator.
Wagner has more than seven years of experience on the Dragzine staff, and another four years prior as a freelance writer and photographer. A year ago he took over Street Muscle, but was thrilled at the opportunity to take the helm at Dragzine.
“It’s been a great ride at Street Muscle, taking it to new and exciting places, but drag racing just feels like home,” Wagner said.
Both in his time at Dragzine and at Street Muscle, Wagner embraced all forms of new media including podcasts and video. He hosted the “Dragzine Podcast,” SpeedVideo’s “Tech Inspection,” dozens of YouTube videos, and provided on-air talent for FLO Racing’s drag racing live streams, according to the company.
He also pilots a pair of fourth-gen Firebird project cars, competing at LS Fest, NMCA and other events.
“Brian is a fantastic motorsports photographer, passionate about drag racing, and one of the hardest working people I know,” stated Scott Parker, vice president of content & strategy. “The combination of talent, passion and grit is exactly what we look for at Power Automedia and he’s an ideal fit to take over Dragzine.”
