Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast


Apr 13, 2021

Ever wonder who gets to work on movies like Cars? Who’s behind the scenes of your favorite car shows? Who’s partially responsible for designing the most car-nerd amusement park ever built? Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about the most epic job a gearhead could ever have and then wonder if such a thing actually exists?

Come on over to the Hot Rod BBQ, grab a plate and hang out with us and Jay Ward.

Jay’s the guy behind some of best things in car culture over the last twenty years. He’s the Creative Director at Disney/Pixar for everything Cars, traveling the world and doing all the magical car-guy stuff we can only dream about. But, he’s also half the team who brought the groundbreaking “Billetproof” event to life and changed the way we do car shows. He’s a motorcycle guy who cut his teeth at the parts counter of one of the oldest Harley dealerships in the world. He’s an illustrator. A raconteur. A hotrodder. A Pebble Beach concours judge. A budding indie movie producer. Basically, Jay is living his – and our – best car life.

So, glad you showed up: crack yourself a cold one, the hot dog relish is over there by the pretzels, pull up a lawn chair and kick it with us for an hour on the ‘Q.
