Josh Spiers, 31, travels across the country operating machinery used to remove road surfaces before they are resurfaced. Away from work, he races Formula 1 stock cars, a hobby he says has become a big part of his life.

He will compete in the Irish Open Championship at Nutt's Corner Raceway, a big event in the stock car racing calendar, attracting drivers from across the world.

"The Irish Open is the first time we've been to Ireland to compete, so I'm looking forward to it," he said. "It's going to be a new challenge."

Spiers enjoys maintaining his car as well as racing [CWA]

Spiers said he had been involved in the sport for years alongside his brother and uncle, before beginning to race four years ago.

"I enjoy the mechanical side of things as much as the racing and competitiveness. Being able to go in the garage and fix it and maintain it is enjoyable for me", he explained.

He added that his employer, Jet Plant Hire, had been flexible around competitions and race weekends.

His car also carries the company logo, which supports his involvement in the sport.

Spiers is also encouraging more young people to consider careers in road planing, an industry facing an ageing workforce.

"I can't imagine ever doing anything else," he said. "This job gives you the chance to travel to new places, and every single day is a fresh challenge."

A few months ago, when the release date of Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga was announced, it was the only film releasing on June 12, 2026. However, in Bollywood, the release date shuffle happens a lot, and now, three more films are slated to hit the big screens on June 12: Kangana Ranaut starrer Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Manoj Bajpayee's Governor: The Silent Saviour, and Vikram Bhatt's Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past.

The Free Press Journal recently interacted with Imtiaz, and when asked about the four-way box office clash on June 12, the filmmaker said, "These things are not in control. We announced first. Usually, in the film industry, there's a kind of bhaichara like 'meri film aarahi hai toh tu mat aa, next baar aaja' and that kind of thing, and it usually works. This is the first time I am hearing that other movies are also coming out on that day. But, if that is going to be the case, then so be it."

Imtiaz further explained, "There are only 52 weeks, and there are more than 52 films that are released every year. So, this is bound to happen."
