Each week features guests from all levels of racing — from local legends to rising stars — sharing how they got started, their biggest moments, and their honest take on the racing community. If you love grassroots racing, bench racing with your buddies, and podcasts that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is the show for you. ⚠️ Warning: foul language, bad opinions, and occasional stupidity encouraged during recording sessions.
