What happens when you combine the split-second intensity of a NASCAR® pit stop with the quick wit of one of YouTube’s most recognizable creators? 

You get PIT STOP TONIGHT – TOYOTA RACING’s new four-episode YouTube series that trades traditional driver interviews for fast-paced entertainment designed to show fans a different side of the people behind the wheel. 

Hosted by Kareem Rahma, creator of Subway Takes and Keep the Meter Running, the series features Toyota drivers Bubba Wallace, Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe and Jade Avedisian stepping into a late-night talk show unlike any other. Before each interview begins, a professional pit crew races against the clock to build the show’s themed set in real time, creating a high-energy opening inspired by the speed and precision of motorsports. 

The result is a format that feels as unpredictable as racing itself. 

Fans have seen these drivers compete on the track. PIT STOP TONIGHT gives them the chance to see who they are when the helmet comes off. 

Throughout each episode, Rahma leads drivers through unexpected games, comedy bits and conversations that move beyond race-day talking points. The format encourages genuine reactions and unscripted moments, revealing personalities that don’t often make it into post-race interviews. It’s a different way of telling TOYOTA RACING’s story – one built around people first. 

Developed specifically for YouTube, PIT STOP TONIGHT embraces creator-led storytelling, entertainment-first programming and the kind of shareable moments that thrive on the platform. Produced by Portal A in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi and YouTube Creative Works, the four-episode series launched throughout the Summer. 

In the premiere episode, Team Toyota driver Bubba Wallace, 2025 Brickyard 400 champion and NASCAR star, pulls into the hot seat to answer spicy fan questions, take on unpredictable challenges and navigate fast-paced segments full of surprises. From racing hot takes to unexpected pit stops and questionable sushi, the episode blends the humor and chaos of motorsports with pop culture for one unforgettable ride.

From childhood dreams becoming reality to mini burnout demonstrations, the episode showcases why Jade is one of motorsports’ most exciting rising stars.
