Episode 92 - Live Chat Questions, Facebook Warriors and more

Episode 92 of the Pit Chatter Podcast was driven by the fans — a full-on live conversation with viewers covering just about everything happening across our corner of short track racing. The discussion hit hard on Franklin County Speedway with talk around rules, direction, and plans moving forward, before shifting gears to Oak Level Raceway and the recent wave of Facebook Warriors lighting up the comment sections. The chat also dug into Ararat BullRing banquet details and plenty of other topics straight from the live audience — unfiltered, honest, and exactly how Pit Chatter is supposed to be. Hosted by Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee, this episode is all about open conversation, answering questions, and letting the fans steer the show. If you like real talk, live interaction, and the good, bad, and loud sides of short track racing — this one’s for you. 🏁

Episode 89 - Brian Rowsey on Losers, Payouts & One-Race Promoters

Brian Rowsey joins Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee for an episode that goes exactly how you’d expect. Rowsey, who at one point promoted a single race at Natural Bridge Speedway, shares his belief that the track wouldn’t still be around if not for his involvement — a statement that immediately sets the tone. The discussion dives headfirst into the firestorm that followed that event, including Rowsey’s remarks calling non-winning racers who expected to get paid “losers,” his stance that tow money and payouts beyond the top five shouldn’t exist, and his belief that cutting payouts is the key to keeping racetracks financially alive. Whether you agree with him or not — and many won’t — this episode is raw, uncomfortable at times, and exactly the kind of conversation short track racing rarely has out loud. Opinions clash, tempers flare, and nothing is off the table. This one isn’t for everyone — but it is Pit Chatter.

Episode 90 - What's Old is New Again at FCS

This week on Pit Chatter, Langley and Noah break down the announcement of Franklin County Speedway’s “new” management for the 2026 season — and what it really means moving forward. After a one-year absence, Langley Austin is officially taking the track back over, bringing with him lessons learned from a full season promoting dirt racing and applying them to the future of Franklin County Speedway. The conversation covers expectations, challenges, and how experience from Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway will shape decisions in 2026. They also discuss the reality of running three racetracks in one season, the time constraints that come with it, and what has to change operationally to make it all work without losing what makes each track special. No fluff. No corporate spin. Just an honest conversation about responsibility, growth, and the road ahead for one of Virginia’s most talked-about short tracks.

Episode 91 - Oak Level Comes Alive with a Test Session

Episode 91 of the Pit Chatter Podcast is the post-Christmas / New Year hangover episode where the boys recap a big moment that snuck up fast — the Oak Level Raceway test session that came together with just 24 hours notice and still delivered in a big way. Seeing cars back on track at Oak Level Raceway was a sight for sore eyes, and the turnout proved just how hungry racers are to get back to work. One of the coolest moments of the day? Slammin’ Sammy Cooke rolling back onto the track in his Steel Block Late Model — a legendary Oak Level name making laps again where it all matters. The episode also dives into more stories, laughs, and real-time reactions from the live show hosted by Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee, covering everything from offseason momentum to what moments like this mean for the future of local short track racing. It’s gritty. It’s unscripted. And it’s exactly how a New Year should start — with engines fired, dirt flying, and race tracks coming back to life. 🏁
