A Fond Farewell

This was basically the only thing keeping me interested in NASCAR… David and Alan meshed so well as a duo by the end of it and the content was one-of-a-kind. Happy trails ❤️

Elite level NASCAR talk

Great pod with good NASCAR history talk and elite high level scouting talk. It has improved how I watch races live. The discord is great too.
