Robert Edelstein
Rob Edelstein has had a successful, varied career in print, serving as a top-level editor and writer at some of the most popular magazines in America.At present, Edelstein is TV Guide's motor sports editor, and writes all the magazine's NASCAR cover stories - which basically means Edelstein gets to interview lots of drivers boys think are really cool.He counts among his greatest accomplishments the fact that he survived a ride as a passenger in a pace car, going around a track at better than 120 miles per hour.Please don't ask him to do that again.Edelstein's first book, "NASCAR Generations: A Legacy of Family in NASCAR Racing," was published in 2000 by HarperCollins.

Edelstein has written about everything from movies (for A&E Biography) to prime-time TV (Blender) to both pro\ wrestlers and developing the ability to chop wood with your bare hand (Stuff).That's another thing you shouldn't ask Rob to do again.Edelstein lives in New Jersey with his wife and two daughters...but no, apparently that wasn't good enough.Bowing to extreme professional pressure from the RIOT publishing consortium, he and his wife conceived a son, who will happily test RIOT merchandise in the years to come.
