The SMART Modified Tour took their annual beach trip at Carteret County Speedway in Swansboro North Carolina.

    NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Winner Teddy Hodgdon

    Episode 202 is on the scene and we welcome the latest winner on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Teddy Hodgdon to the show. Teddy talks to us about growing up at Stafford and how groundbreaking this win was for him and his family team. He talks about a few of the near misses he had during the weekend, wanting to be a pilot and the connection he shares with Ryan Preece. It's a great conversation with the New Englander and we know you will enjoy it. Speaking of Ryan Preece, it was Preece who pulled off the walk off victory at Daytona on Saturday and punched his ticket into the Chase. We discuss how ironic it was that his win should come at a place that has literally left him black and blue over the years and just how good of a feel good story this was along with our breakdown of the race. The Cup Series Chase starts and we give our chances for each of the sixteen drivers to advance deep in the Chase come November and our picks to hoist the trophy. We were live on the scene at Pulaski County Motorsports Park on Saturday. After nearly 20 years, Wes Thomason finally got a win at the speedway on Saturday in the Super Street division. He talks to us about that and his journey to get there. We also hear from the second and third place finishers Daniel Eakin and Taylor Ransom from the division.

    CARS Tour winner Carson Loftin & STAR Tour Champion Glenn Mappus

Carson Loftin overcame a restart violation and took advantage of a late race issue from Chase Burgeson to grab his first career tour win Saturday. Carson tells us all about his weekend, if he feels if he has redeemed himself after not having things work out at Nelson Motorsports and why he was mistaken as a Cook Out employee at a gas station. We discuss the Landon Huffman/Tyler Reif confrontation, Brody Monahan's first win in Pro Late Models, the different players up front and more as we do our breakdown of the entire night at Anderson. 2026 STAR Super Stock Tour Champion Glenn Mappus also stops by to discuss his championship winning season on the tour, the unique trophies he received for doing so, what he will do with the title belt and reiterating the commitment it takes for Saturday Night Short Track Racers by talking about the nearly 15 hour round trip to Lonesome Pine the weekend before last.  Ryan Blaney picked up his third win of the season at New Hampshire on Sunday on a day that saw wet weather tires make an appearance early in the event. We discuss that in detail, Bubba Wallace, Josh Berry and Noah Gragson's great days, more woes from Chevy teams, Layne Riggs keeping the Layne Train rolling with winning the Truck Race, the Truck Series Chase field being set and if anyone can crack the top 16 at Daytona in the Cup Series regular season finale.

    Dillon Harville

    Episode 200 is on the scene and Dillon Harville stops by. He broke Dustin Rumley's win streak at Ace Speedway on Friday night and he tells us how he became the bounty collector. He also discusses what he's been up to the last four months after not being in the car, his new venture with Woodard Motorsports and his love for riding roller coasters. Only appropriate that a race car driver in this roller coaster of a sport would love to go fast and high in the air. We review the Richmond weekend featuring Kaden Honeycutt's dominating Truck Series win, Joey Logano winning for the second time in four Cup Series events and how he has come from being outside the top 20 in points to ninth in a span of a few months. We discuss Josh Berry's stock going up after three straight top ten's, what is happening at Hendrick Motorsports, Kyle Larson's quest to win at Knoxville and so much more from the Action Track. The zMAX CARS Tour takes a trip down south to Anderson Motor Speedway in Anderson South Carolina and we preview the event. Who will have the edge in both the Late Model and Pro Late Model divisions? Will Caden Kvapil continue to pad his points lead or will someone like a Jared Fryar or a Chad McCumbee can stand tall? We discuss it here. In this week's edition of Hotel Hell, Julian tells us his hotel story from Richmond while Jody' feeds your appetite with DUBS, we preview the racing from New Hampshire, tell you where you can support your local short track and much more on our 200th episode.
