Kaden Honeycutt scored his second career Pro Late Model victory and sixteen year old Brent Crews of KHI scored his first career LMSC win and became the fourth driver to win in the first four events of the season. We break down the Orange Blossom 250 with exclusive interviews with the combatants that made the headlines.

    Speaking of four winners in four races, the Sentara Late Model Division has had four different winners in four events so far in 2024. Kyle Dudley became the track's third first time winner of the season as he won Saturday's Vinny's Restaurant and Italian Delight Day at the Races.

In addition, we talk about Eric Winslow's Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division sweep from Saturday, Johnny Layne going back to back in the Southside Disposal Pure Stocks and Jason DeCarlo being awarded the VSP Heat Hornet feature following Cameron Goble’s hornet not passing post race tech.

    Should race tracks work together like Orange County and South Boston did on Saturday? The guys debate this on the heels of this announcement and the recent alliance between New River All American Speedway and Bobby Watson's Carteret County Speedway.

    The Madhouse opened up another season this past weekend with Burt Myers returning to his winning ways in the Hayes Jewelers 200 for the Brads Golf Cars Modified Division.

Sanders & Brandon Crotts took the twin Q104.1 Stadium Stocks.

How lucky Erik Jones was to walk out of his race car on Sunday, when NASCAR should press the button for the yellow and Michael Jordan's presence in the sport.

    William Byron winning on the weekend of Hendrick Motorsports first win 40 years ago should be a big story.

How does NASCAR fix the short track package? The guys give their pleas to fix it!
