    Taking Flight With Cole Bruce & A Hampton Heat Review

    Episode 197 is on the scene and we are taking flight with Cole Bruce who won the pole and finished third in Saturday's Hampton Heat from Langley Speedway. Cole tells us the story about how he wasn't originally going to be in this car this weekend as the previous driver Wesley Slimp was unable to race due to injury. He also discusses the near misses during the race and how they were able to have the speed to win the pole and compete with some of the toughest names around. We also caught him at the perfect time as he just passed his Commercial Muti-Engine Checkride earlier during the day we recorded the show making him eligible to fly planes! We break down the race itself and discuss all the trouble Chase Burrow got into with a reminder that racers are human and that we still love him. We also discuss Ayden Millette's strong run and the incident that ended his day, trouble for the contenders and more including who is set up to run for the Virginia Triple Crown at Martinsville in September.  It was Heim Time on Sunday at the Brickyard. We discuss Corey Heim's second Cup Series win driving a part time team and debate on the last time this actually happened in the Cup Series. We also discuss the attendance woes at the speedway for NASCAR, the lack of passing for the lead and if this is indeed a Crown Jewel race since that has been brought up for discussion lately. We also break down Carson Kvapil's first O'Reilly Auto Parts win and Layne Riggs' dominant Truck Series win at Lucas Oil Raceway Park.  We also discuss the ASA STARS National Tour race from Newport, the happenings from Bowman Gray, Alex Bowman's retirement, DUBS and more this week on DLN!

    Langley Speedway's Bill Mullis

    Episode 196 is on the scene and it's Hampton Heat week at Langley Speedway. Track owner Bill Mullis is in the house and we discuss all the preparations the track is doing for the second leg of the Virginia Triple Crown, why the track is such a hit in the community, whether or not he's going to ride a bull anytime soon and much more. It's always a great time when Bill stops by and this was no exception. This year's Hampton Heat will have it's share of heavy hitters. Brenden "Butterbean" Queen tries to win a record breaking fourth event this weekend while Connor Hall returns to win his second. Matt Waltz won it last year and you know he will be bringing another strong piece to Langley while Lee Pulliam returns to JR Motorsports looking to rebound from South Boston. We pick our winners and discuss the storylines heading into it. The only thing hotter than Kaden Honeycutt in Late Model racing was the temperature in North Wilkesboro. We discussed another CARS Tour sweep from Honeycutt in both Pro and Late Model Stocks and all of the action from Wilkes County on Friday and on Saturday for the Truck Series as well. We also address Speedway Motorsports (SMI) joining the CARS Tour ownership group and what that means for the future of the Tour. The IHRA made more headlines last week by shuttering the IHRA Stock Car Series not even halfway through it's first year of existence. We were able to reach out to an anonymous source from the IHRA and we were able to answer some of the questions race fans had about what exactly happened, who hasn't gotten paid and what the future holds. It also leads us to a great conversation about the economics of Late Model Racing that you do not want to miss. Joey Logano ended his over 40 race winless streak in the Cup Series return to points paying racing at North Wilkesboro. We discuss everything that happened Sunday night plus we break down the finals of the Midseason Challenge and so much more this week on DLN!

Tri-County Speedway and Hickory Motor Speedway are less than 30 minutes away from each other but that's as close as the two tracks can get from time to time. We discuss some of the recent online rumblings between these two tracks and in our perfect world, come up with a way to put the two together in harmony if you will. We discuss Ryan Blaney's dominating win at Echo Park Speedway, Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs confrontation, the penalty for Wallace at the end of the race and what may have led to Rudy Fugle and William Byron's intense radio communication caught live on tv.

    Episode 192 is on the scene to preview this weekend's Thunder Road Harley Davidson 200 from South Boston Speedway. The first leg of the Virginia Triple Crown features a robust entry list. Lee Pulliam has won this event six times in the past and head's into this weekend driving for the same team that won this event last year in JR Motorsports. Connor Hall has won this event the last two seasons and returns to the scene for the team  he won with in 2024 for Nelson Motorsports. Craftsman Truck Series stars Kaden Honeycutt, Brenden "Butterbean" Queen and Mini Tyrrell are entered this weekend along with 2025 zMAX CARS Tour champion Landen Lewis, Peyton Sellers, Landon Pembleton, Sam Yarbrough, Woody Howard, Kyle Dudley, Landon Huffman and many more will go for the big prize that awaits the winner and a guaranteed starting spot in September's Valley Star 300. We break it all down along with our picks to win the event. Thomas Beane has already notched a couple of wins this season at Anderson Motor Speedway and Hickory Motor Speedway. The driver of the Starbucks Machine tells us all about how this unique sponsorship came up, his preparations for the upcoming event at South Boston, how he appreciates the racing at Anderson compared to the rough racing he receives at other tracks and his overall season as we head into the hot days of Summer and more. For the NASCAR Cup Series, It is most certainly Heim Time. We discuss Corey Heim's historic win at the Coronado Naval Base in California in only his thirteenth start and if we were either surprised by how fast it came or where it came. We also talk about Noah Gragson vs Kevin Magnussen, the continued rise of 23X1 racing, our thoughts of the street course and if it should return and so much more. One thing that came out of the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday was the fact that NASCAR allowed Corey Day's team to repair his car after an unfortunate meeting with a manhole cover. Does this open up Pandora's Box, a can of worms or any of those other sayings? The boys debate. Julian takes us through his weekend at Tri County Speedway which saw Landon Huffman complete a Late Model Series sweep of the events he entered this weekend. We also discuss the ASA STARS National tour event from Slinger, get some Dubs cooked up, Short Track Spotlight and more this week on DLN.
