They’re talking about the start of a racing season/event weekend called AFCS. Dirt racing schedules can change a lot when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Propane is a fuel gas commonly used for grilling, heating, and some vehicles. The hosts also mention propane being used on school buses, which highlights how it can be used beyond just home outdoor cooking.
Eldora Speedway is mentioned as a nearby landmark to the sponsor location. Eldora is a well-known dirt track, and referencing it signals the regional dirt-racing context.
Topic
whistle stop
“Whistle stop” appears to be a local food stop tied to the race weekend, likely near the track. While not a car-related term, it’s a recurring event-adjacent reference that helps listeners follow the hosts’ on-site recommendations.
They’re describing rough or uneven pavement in a specific part of the track. That kind of surface makes the car bounce or feel unstable, so drivers have to drive more carefully through that section.
A caution is when the race slows down because something happened on track. When the race goes back to green, drivers often have to adjust their tires and strategy right away.
Lap traffic is when the leaders catch slower cars that are not on the same lap. It can make it harder to keep your speed and line, especially late in the race.
A “B main” is like a second feature race. If you don’t make the top group for the main race, you may race in the B main to improve your finishing spot.
A heat race is an early race that helps decide who moves on. Your finish can affect where you start later and whether you qualify for the bigger races.
A “slider fest” is when two cars keep battling by sliding through the turns and trying to pass each other. It’s usually a sign the track was a little slick or the cars were set up to rotate easily.
Race cars leave tire marks on the track. As more cars run, the track gets grippier in certain lines, so drivers try to stay on the best part of the surface.
“Sealed the track” means the track crew did prep to make the dirt surface more consistent. It helps the racing surface stay usable even if the weather has been unpredictable.
Concept
20 mile per hour win
The hosts mention a “20 mile per hour” wind, which matters in dirt racing because wind can affect dust, visibility, and even how cars behave on the surface. It’s part of the overall conditions that can change how drivers approach the race.
Concept
4-10 sprint car race
In dirt track racing, different local events and car classes get nicknames or shorthand. “4-10” is one of those local labels for a sprint-car style race, meaning it’s open-wheel sprint cars competing under that event’s rules.
Late models are a common dirt-track race class. They’re race cars that look more like traditional stock cars than open-wheel sprint cars, and they race under their own rules.
The Subaru 360 is a very small car made in Japan, designed to be simple and economical. It was built for everyday driving in places where parking and roads are tight. People bring it up because it’s a classic example of an early “small city car.”
“360s” is a dirt-track racing nickname for a certain sprint-car class. It usually indicates the cars have a particular engine setup, so you can tell what kind of sprint cars are competing.
The “All-Star tour” is referenced as a higher-profile program where drivers previously appeared, but the speaker says Aiden Price won’t be out on tour this time. That implies different competition levels, schedules, and possibly eligibility rules between the tour and the local AFCS region.
“Full throttle” means the driver was giving the engine maximum power. If something goes wrong at full power, the car can hit much harder.
Term
T3 broken
“T3 broken” sounds like a broken bone in the upper back/spine area. That’s a major injury, and it’s why they were pushing to get him to the hospital right away.
When they say “nasty crash,” they mean it was a really rough wreck. That often means the car got damaged in a way that needs careful checking before it can be driven again.
A “clip” is basically a big chunk of the car’s front or back that can be swapped out during repairs. If both the front and rear clips are damaged, it usually means the crash was serious and not just cosmetic.
Frame rails are like the car’s main backbone. If they break in a crash, the car can’t be safely straightened with simple repairs, so the repair work is usually major.
In-car footage is onboard video captured from a driver’s perspective, often used to analyze incidents and driving lines. In dirt racing, it’s especially useful for understanding how a crash happened relative to throttle/braking and track position.
After a crash, track safety crew comes to check on the driver. It’s the normal safety procedure to make sure the driver is okay.
Topic
molar
They’re talking about another race location (“molar”) and how many cars showed up. When fewer cars race, it can change how the event feels and how drivers plan their runs.
“Victory lane” is the spot at the track where the winner gets celebrated right after the race. When they say someone needs to get into victory lane, they mean they want that person to finally win and be recognized. It’s basically the dirt-racing version of “win the race.”
This line highlights how some dirt-racing events structure incentives around winning—here, implying a large payout or cost-to-win dynamic tied to “victory lane.” It reflects the financial reality of grassroots motorsports, where entry fees, weekly expenses, and potential winnings drive participation. The “empty wallet” comment suggests the tradeoff between paying to compete and the motivation to win.
Points racing means you’re not just trying to win one race—you’re trying to score enough points all season to win the championship. Early on, drivers may be a little more careful because a big mistake can cost them a lot of points.
“Hot laps” are practice laps run shortly before qualifying or race sessions to get the car up to temperature and confirm setup. Drivers use them to check handling, tire behavior, and whether the car is running correctly.
A backup car is an extra race car the team has ready in case the main one can’t be used. If something goes wrong, they can swap to the backup so they can still race.
They’re talking about how many people showed up at Attica compared to other races. In this kind of racing, bigger crowds usually mean more cars and a more exciting event.
They’re comparing the crowd to the World of Outlaws, which is a very big sprint car racing series. It helps you gauge how big this event was compared to the biggest names.
“Three wide” means three cars are trying to race next to each other at the same time. It’s exciting, but it’s also risky because if the space tightens, drivers have to react fast to avoid crashes.
A “lap car” is a car that’s already behind the leaders and is being passed. When you’re racing close, dealing with lap traffic can make it harder to choose a safe racing line.
They say the driver was upside down on the track, which usually means a big rollover crash. The important part is that sprint cars are built with safety structures so drivers can survive even when the car flips.
They say the car got touched at the left rear. Even a small hit at the back can make the car lose grip, and when you brake hard it can spin or get thrown into the wall.
They mention “BPM” as someone/ something that could show up, but they don’t explain what it is. It’s probably a racing group or team, but the meaning isn’t clear from this snippet.
Concept
pre-race qualifying / racing schedule
They’re talking about planning which races to attend. Travel time and how hard it is to pass can change how a team decides what events to run.
Hoosier makes racing tires. The hosts are saying you can earn Hoosier tires as part of the event perks.
Term
points fun
“Points fun” appears to refer to a points-based competition or series where participants earn standings points. The speaker is arguing that paying for membership should include more than just access to points tracking.
They’re saying there’s a money/prize offer that only members can access. It also sounds like some discounts or deals on tires and gears are limited to members too.
A gift certificate is like a voucher you can use to buy something. Here, it sounds like sponsors are giving them out as prizes for participants.
Company
DMI
DMI is mentioned as the source of “DMI gift certificates,” implying a sponsor or partner providing prizes for the series. The segment doesn’t clarify what DMI stands for, but it’s treated as an organization contributing event value.
Concept
pay every spot vs pay top three/top four
Some races pay money to everyone who finishes, while others only pay the top few. That changes how teams plan and how drivers decide to race, because the payoff is different depending on where you end up.
Topic
law sprint cars in action out in Missouri
They’re giving a quick race update: sprint cars were racing in Missouri on the 10th and 11th, and there were two events at i-55. It’s the kind of info fans use to follow the season.
Topic
i-55 (two shows)
They say there were two shows at i-55, which likely refers to a specific speedway/track venue. Track-specific details matter in dirt racing because surface prep and local conditions can strongly influence car setup and results.
“410” is a class of sprint car racing based on engine size. The bigger the number, the more powerful the cars generally are, so the racing is usually intense.
Concept
cutting down
“Cutting down” usually means steering toward the inside of the track or trying to line up for the next corner. If two cars try to take the same spot at the same time, they can bump.
A wheelie is when the car’s front end comes up because the tires are getting too much power too fast. On dirt tracks, it can be risky because how the car lands can change its balance and steering.
Sometimes in racing, two cars get into each other and one or both end up out of the race. That’s usually debated as either a racing mistake or someone not backing out in time.
Pole position is when your car starts at the very front of the grid. Qualifying fastest gets you there, and it usually helps you get a better finish because you’re ahead of everyone at the start.
Term
dash 35
A “dash” is a shorter race than the main event. “Dash 35” usually means it’s a specific format/length for that event, and it can affect where you start or how you advance.
UNOH is referenced as becoming an official partner with the High Limit Sprint Car Series. Sponsorships like this often affect event schedules, branding, and the likelihood of certain tracks hosting marquee races.
On dirt tracks, you want the car to stay hooked up and not lose traction. The phrase means the driver was driving smoothly and confidently instead of sliding around.
Being “on the throttle” means pressing the gas. They’re saying the driver usually crashes while still driving hard, not because they were already going slow.
In these series, drivers earn points based on race results. A “points battle” means several drivers are close enough that every finish matters for who ends up winning the season.
“Prelim night” refers to earlier races in a multi-night event that feed into the weekend’s main results. Winning a prelim can improve a driver’s track position, momentum, and sometimes bonus eligibility.
They’re talking about a big dirt-race event called “the gauntlet” at Bowls Gap. It has a big winner’s payout and also extra money for things like racing every night.
They mention a bonus for being there and racing all the nights that count. It’s extra money on top of winning, so showing up matters as much as performance.
Topic
NALMS at Montpelier
NALMS is a late-model racing series, and Montpelier is where those cars raced. The hosts are mainly recapping results and race conditions.
“Iron Man” appears to be a marquee dirt-racing event at Atomic (Atomic Speedway), with large winner payouts mentioned in the segment. The hosts treat it as a headline race that’s part of the same weekend schedule.
USAC is the organization that puts on and sanctions certain kinds of dirt-track races. So when you hear “USAC” in the episode, it means those races are part of their schedule and rules.
Topic
circle city
Circle City is the track where the next series is starting its season. The hosts are basically saying where the opening races will be held.
“Splitting time” means two (or more) drivers take turns driving the same race car. Because drivers have different preferences, the team may need to adjust the car more than if one driver drove it all the time.
Concept
recycle cars
“Recycle cars” means cars get sent back in the running order during the race. That usually happens after a problem or under race rules, and it makes it harder to be near the front.
They’re talking about Plymouth Speedway in Indiana and how it’s changed from dirt racing to pavement racing. That affects how cars are set up and how drivers handle the track.
Concept
dirt and back payment
They’re describing a track that’s dealing with dirt and pavement racing. Dirt and pavement grip differently, so cars and driving techniques have to change.
A midget race is a short, fast race on a small oval. “Pavement” means it’s on asphalt instead of dirt, which changes how the cars grip and handle. “All-star” usually means it’s a special event with better drivers than a normal race.
Sprint cars are small, powerful race cars built for short oval tracks. “Non-wing” means they don’t have the big rear spoiler, so they don’t push into corners as much. That makes the driving and car setup feel different than winged sprint cars.
A “rainout” is when a race is canceled or postponed due to weather, usually because track conditions become unsafe or unusable. Dirt and pavement oval events can be especially sensitive to rain because it changes traction and can damage the racing surface. The hosts repeatedly reference multiple rainouts across different events, showing how weather impacted the weekend schedule.
The Brownstown Ironman is a named race event at a dirt track. The hosts are saying it didn’t happen because of rain. Named events like this are usually bigger than a normal weekly race.
Concept
Ohio Valley Dirt Series
This is a set of dirt races grouped into a series in the Ohio Valley region. Drivers compete across multiple events, and results add up. The hosts are saying one of those series races got canceled due to rain.
A demolition derby is a race where cars are basically meant to crash and get wrecked. Instead of trying to stay clean and smooth, drivers often hit each other hard. It’s more about surviving and causing damage than winning with perfect driving lines.
A pavement sprint car series is sprint car racing on paved roads instead of dirt. Sprint cars are small, fast racecars that need good tire grip to turn well. On pavement, the tires and handling feel different than on dirt, so driving style and setup change.
Topic
Must See race
“Must See” sounds like a particular racing event or series that people really follow. The hosts mention meeting someone there, which shows it’s part of the regular racing calendar. It’s less about a car tech detail and more about where the racing community gathers.
King Speedway is a racetrack where an event is planned. Different tracks feel different to drive, so teams often adjust their setup for each one. It’s basically the location detail in the middle of the racing-news talk.
Adica is one of the race tracks they’re talking about. They’re basically saying the forecast isn’t great right now, so they’re watching whether racing gets canceled.
They’re talking about safety in sprint car racing—things that help protect drivers. The conversation is about whether certain safety-related requirements should be made stricter or mandatory.
They’re saying the rule they were discussing won’t be required for everyone. That matters because mandatory rules can force teams to change equipment or setup.
They’re talking about sprint car racing drivers as an example. Because sprint cars are rough and intense, how the driver fits in the seat and restraints can really affect safety.
The hosts describe a safety concept: if a driver can’t move and the system doesn’t allow energy to be absorbed properly, the load transfers to the weakest part of the body. This is why seat fit, restraint tension, and head/neck support are debated and tested.
A drive shaft is a spinning metal part that sends power to the wheels. In a crash, it can move around, so the concern is it might hit the driver’s seat. They’re talking about adding safety features to keep it from banging the seat.
Tethers are like safety straps that hold things in place. In a crash, they can help stop parts from flying into the driver’s area. The hosts are wondering why similar straps aren’t used to prevent the drive shaft from hitting the seat.
A crash test dummy is a tool used to see how dangerous a crash would be, without hurting a real person. The host is basically saying they don’t want to be the real-life guinea pig while safety is being improved. They want safer ways to test and measure what’s happening.
World of Outlaws is a well-known dirt racing series, especially for sprint cars. Here, they’re saying the series has started using sensors/data tools on the cars. That matters because it can help improve safety based on real racing crashes.
They’re talking about putting sensors on race cars to record what happens during crashes. Instead of guessing, engineers can look at the measurements and figure out what safety changes are needed. The idea is that better data leads to safer designs.
G-forces tell you how hard your body is being pushed during a crash. It’s basically a measure of how intense the acceleration is compared to normal gravity.
Sometimes safety gear is made so strong that it can cause other problems in a crash. The goal is to protect you, but the way forces move through your body still matters.
A HANS device is a safety strap system that helps keep your head from snapping forward or sideways in a crash. It’s designed to protect your neck by working together with your seatbelt.
Simpson is a company that makes racing safety gear. They’re mentioned here because they’re known for products like helmets and head/neck restraint systems.
Where and how your seatbelts are mounted changes how they hold you in a crash. If they’re not positioned right, they can pull or move your body in a harmful way.
Topic
El Dorre
They mention El Dorre as the place where someone had a serious crash. It’s used to show why seatbelt setup and restraint systems matter.
They’re discussing racing safety—basically, making sure it’s medically safe to drive again. Sometimes the smart move is to take time off so the injury doesn’t get worse.
They’re saying if someone gets hurt more than once in a year, it’s even more important to recover fully. Racing again before you’re ready can be dangerous.
LIVE
What is up, everybody? Hello? Hope you all had a good couple weeks. Got to see some races.
I did because I didn't see you. Yeah, it's been a good couple weeks. Didn't
see Dwayne at all, but maybe you got some races in. Maybe you didn't. Mother Nature's
been temperamental across a lot of the country lately, last few weeks especially. So we did
get some racing in the last few weeks, but yeah, it wasn't without some also getting canceled.
So Dwayne will tell us about his AFCS opening weekend, which he only got one race of two in
due to Mother Nature. So before we get too far though, as always, we've got sponsors to talk
about. Our first one is our friends over at propane.com. I did. I did a lot of propane
activity today, buddy. I went and got my tank filled at our local LP place over here. I'm friends
with the owners and went to high school with their son. So knowing them forever and then I came home
grilled for dinner for us, for me and my wife and our nieces over tonight. So they cook some burgers
before Dwayne came over and tomorrow I'm gonna be grilling steaks. Dwayne won't be here either.
Works out real well, as you can see. But yeah, we did a lot of propane stuff in our house. Hopefully
you're doing some propane stuff at your house as the weather gets nicer. Again, barbecue outside.
Once a bug's become a problem, you can help you with some outdoor living spaces, all kinds of
different uses for propane. I just flamethrower. That's a way of getting rid of weeds, you know.
Inbugs. Inbugs. And you know, today passed a couple school buses that ran on propane as well. So
propane's getting used everywhere. If you're not, you should be using it. Let's put it that way.
Use it. It's clean, safe, reliable and affordable made here right in the good old US of A. Head
over to the website propane.com learn more about what propane can do for you because as they say
propane is energy for everyone. propane.com. They should change their logo to don't use the other
shit. Use ours. You should be using us. Yeah, a little bit of a political joke, but Iran ain't got
shit on us or something. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, something. Next is our friends down at
the whistle stop far and grill in Ansonia, Ohio, just down the road from Eldora Speedway.
I'll have you know, Saturday was my birthday. Yes. And I was going to maybe enjoy my birthday at
Eldora, but Mother Nature had other plans. So I did not part of that trip would have been to
make a visit to the whistle stop. You're going to still went down to grab some pizza support our
unfortunately didn't work out Mother Nature had other plans. But if you're in the area
down for a big race, especially be sure to check out the whistle stop you can order online.
They even have an AI voice thing now when you call you can order through that.
Yeah, I come on. Anyway, you want to enjoy first once a cashless society. Now he wants
all about that. And but anyway, however you want to enjoy some of their awesome pizza,
great burgers, they can help you out. There's a pickup window you can dine in which is always a
great experience. They got cheap shirts, usually some hats available, help represent a little bit
cheap owner, cheap owner. But great place, great food, be sure to check it out. I know
let's race two is coming up. True. So that'll be a popular weekend. So if you're down and good
because my backup plan after Fremont got rained out was Eldora. Yeah. Then they got rained out
and they both pretty much canceled in the morning. Yeah, there was like no shot.
But yeah, check them out whistlebarngirl.com is the website. If you're in the area,
head a little further south to downtown Greenville, check out the Sure Shot Taphouse.
They got 46 beverages on tap. It's a self poor system. So you get a poor card,
you're charged by the ounce. It makes it real nice to try. You can't pour beers. That's some of
those some of those weird beers. You're only charged by an by the ounce. So you can go ahead
and try some without committing to the entire pint. It makes it affordable for you. And then
after you after you decide on what you like, you go ahead and fill her up for that full pint.
But they got everything from your domestic regular stuff, your Bud lights, Bud wisers,
bush lights, things like that, yingling right now. They got local stuff, IPA seasonals,
usually some ciders, salsa on hand. Again, check it out. I know it's a I said 46,
but they also got four more upstairs in the bullseye game lounge, which you got to make sure
you check out as well. Really fun 24 arcade games for duck pin bowling lanes. You can have
yourself a beer, some pizzas, right? Some activities, a few beers on a game of duck pin bowling.
There you go. See who's the best. Yeah, it is on your poor card today, buddy. That's how you do
that. So yes, check it out. Sure shot taphouse.com is the website. And you can see I'm on the side
of Brady Bacon. Yes, whistle stop and sure shot are on the board with Brady Bacon this year. Yes.
So some racing did happen the last few weeks, couple of weeks, I guess it did. I actually,
I know you're gonna be shocked. I went to a race to Wayne. I know last weekend at Montpelier
Motor Speedway. That's what I heard by the milk man. Seen. Yeah. So good time there. 20
looked like an excellent race. 28 29 cars. Good crowd on hand. It was you know, like good. I think
they said biggest paying late model race they've ever had. Yeah, I know in recent years that's
that's true. I don't know. But yeah, good cars there. Jason Jamison.
I know Jane Jenna's brother. There you go. Jason Jamison on hand. Seen that. Do you see Jenna
around? I did not. But Devin Gulp in there. Some Michigan guys like Chad Finley came down.
But ultimately Rusty Shlink getting the win last five laps were awesome.
Yeah, I say I seen the highlights or Jamison was leading. Yep, or took the lead from Rusty and
gave it back. Yeah, which little tricky of a track there towards the end. It got
choppy through the middle of one and two. Our buddy Devin was actually
right there with Rusty at the start flying. I've never seen him race that hard, I think.
And he'll listen to this and give me a mean text later. I'm sure. I think the old man got tired
though. Probably or burn his tires off either one. But he was he was racing hard there and I had a
caution five laps in and then it went caution free from there. So hard there in October last year
at that. Yeah, he's been pretty good there. So that's what he said. First race of the year.
Who would have guessed was that Montpelier. But he said I'm glad it's a place I know and
have had some success. So but yeah, good race. Jason Jamison heartbroken in second,
but Rusty got himself the win lap traffic. It was kind of the whole nine yards for for a race
there. And yeah, they did a good job in the pit area. I know we talked a little bit about some
of the stuff he's done. But yeah, he's he like especially off the turns one and two. Yeah,
he really chops some things back there. So there's a lot more room now. Cool. You know,
like when you walk in the pit gate there, how to the right, you know, it kind of gets barren.
Yeah, there was like hardly any cars that way. It was all the other way. So but it did kind of
suck. Well, kind of suck. But we're off a turn two where we were parked like right where they
pull on the track there. So I could stand at the hauler and watch the races, maybe not see quite
a bit in turns, you know, one and one and two. But it didn't suck because you're far from the stands.
You had to walk all the way around to the front stretch. But me, my dad and Devon's dad went
to the stands to watch the feature. So right on. But yeah, it was a good race. Good. I'm glad
to have a big crowd. Yeah. Braden didn't transfer to the B main made it hard only two spots. They
only took two. So it was a little six was three heat races, six cars out of three heat races
transferred. And then one B main with two cars transferring. So that was a little unique of
a format. But a little interesting. Yeah, but Devon had a good race with Devon Gilpin is heat
race. It was actually a disadvantage to start on the pole and Devon started on the pole for the
heat race. But him and Gilpin had a good slider fest there for a few laps once Devon Shields got
the lead and I was able to pull away. So that was about I think that was the only race the
outside poll sitter didn't win. Really? Yeah. And Jameson and his heat was running hard but got high
not by the drugs but on the track and slipped a few spots. That's why he started like ninth.
So he started like ninth or something because he you know transferred but he had to come up
through the field a little so. But kudos to the milkman and crew for running a good show efficient.
You know could have been a little faster but they did some track prep to you know they saw it
needed some things and and did the best they could and opening night. I'd say it went off pretty
well. So good deal. But the last two weekends on Friday night Attica well no Saturday night before
yes but because the same night is up earlier. Yes. Yeah. And and then this past Friday Attica was
able to get their first show on my radar because I knew Jenna's brother is gone because I follow
seeing that and it's like oh that'd be cool. But Attica got their first regular show slash
AFC a show in Friday this past weekend because you were the all stars and you were there both.
Yep. Right. I know the night before two weeks ago got a little bit of shit for the track but
yeah I mean it took rubber rubber I mean it destroyed all the tires and yeah because there's
a lot of people like well how do you rain out at so wet on Friday night that you rain out that on
Saturday night. And it started that way. I mean it started off like two or three seconds slower
than normal in hot laps and but they graded a lot off and sealed it to be able to race in this.
And if it wouldn't it took rubber it would have been a spectacular race because it was dry slick
for the longest time like like you see kind of down south like the black dry slick but not take
rubber and those heat races was really good but then it's like man this thing's gonna take rubber
I just just know it's going to. Well then at the end of the B main it started taking rubber and
yeah it was it was interesting. No good car count. Not that I mean it was an okay fan count on
Saturday for the all stars but you know plus it was windy and they started early.
Hard laps were like 330 so 330 20 mile per hour winds and bright sunshine. Yeah if you didn't
expect it that it was gonna get hard to slick. Yeah I've been around sprint cars a whole lot.
Yeah. Now I thought maybe they'd do something so it wouldn't take rubber for they mean but they
really didn't touch it after they started because it was cold and I think they just wanted to get
in but uh yeah Bryce Lucius gave it away twice. He was leading made a mistake and Cap got by him
when the yellow came out so towards the end of the race they was in traffic and it's like don't
get out of the rubber don't get out of the rubber don't get in and made one little mistake it's
same it's same I don't go spot same I don't go away. All right Cap got by him and Cap ended up
winning $7,500 and Bryce he was so dejected and victory because he got second and he's gonna be
the all-star point leader right now but he's like and Cap's like yeah he goes he goes yeah I think
he learned last night no matter how bad you want to get out of the rubber do not get out of the
rubber. Yeah but yeah it was you know you know how one lane racing is. Hey but it was kind of
it was a close finish. Yeah I mean it's close yeah because Bryce came back underneath him and
tried to get him but yeah I mean it was it was close racing. Heats was pretty good. Thrill fives
brand new winner there which that was another deal. Casey Z Bolt led majority of the race and
just kind of got messed up in traffic and Brendan Torek. I saw that. Took the win so yeah that was
on Saturday they're opening with the all-star. Spring Nationals supposed to be a two-day show
but like I said Friday got rained out so they just ran Saturday. Yeah as kind of was expected with
all the weather we had last week. Lucky they ran Saturday and that's what you know they could have
easily canceled you know but they sealed the track and yeah started early and it was it was
everything was against them it was bright sunshine and 20 mile per hour win. Yeah starting at 330.
Yeah and I'll say that's one thing I was surprised at Mount Pilger how dry it was.
You know how the pits can get there when it rains so I thought okay it didn't actively rain but
being that it's rained like a son of a bitch for a month and a half but it was completely bone dry
in the pits and the track was drier than I would have thought it was. Yeah obviously not a bad thing
once the track got ran in by some race cars and stuff you know but yeah it was surprisingly
drier there too than I thought it would have been. Yeah there's puddles all around the track and
you know on horse track and all that but the track's pretty dry slick on last Saturday that
that was the Saturday. It was Saturday I keep saying Friday but yeah. But yeah then we opened up this
past weekend there with AFCS our eighth season. Yeah the win was expecting to have like a month of
racing. Yeah. You know and at a car so. Yeah I hate us being the first show which I'm glad they got
one in. Well that's what a couple teams are like dude once last time in our region are we the you
know into the couple weeks into April when there's only been one 4-10 sprint car race in the state.
You know. Yeah it's crazy. In this region so yeah but yeah we had a good car count
37 4-10s 32 305s and there's 28 late models and PPM was there and
you know just some random a lot of the All-Star guys were there. Was it DL Chris Chris Lee from
Canada or Chris Libb DL or DK Drives for Glenn Steyers. Okay. That was a lot of 360s he's there
in a 4-10. He got them coming down and yeah it was a good show and AFCS strong membership this
year again 18 4-10s have joined the series and 31 305 so I was kind of wondering how it was going
to be this year and yeah we got Aiden Price a name that was on the All-Star tour a couple years ago
joined. He's going to be racing regularly in this area. Not going to be out on any tour. He's going
to be racing pretty much AFCS and this stuff. Actually driving a second entry for Rich Farmer
they're going to try to you know get him developed around this region you know because he you know
went on the All-Stars and he's young and he couldn't race the big tracks due to rules and all that
stuff so you know then he kind of fell through the cracks a little bit it seems like and now
they're going to give it a shot in this area so it'll be cool and got Gage Garcia which he got a
10th place finish with the All-Stars. What I was going to say I honestly was thinking like what did
he think of coming to Ohio and just bone ass driving. Yeah yeah I talked to him a little bit on Friday
night because I didn't know who he was you know I hadn't seen him besides then video pictures or
whatever and he come up he's like yeah I need stuff for to join the 410s I said okay I said oh
well you guys already joined you just need your stickers and we got talking a little bit and then
he ended up missing the show on Friday night for us first AFCS night they had issues all night on
car was not running it stopped and then they just got behind the eight ball and just was not good
yeah and it was a lot better towards his style of racetrack on Friday night than it was a lot
of Friday before but yeah good car count good race unfortunately some accidents all night long
and started in our 305s a guy that came back used to race years ago took some time off last year
ran three or four shows and Keith Whaley was back well he's teammate James Sam's Keith joined our
series and he's like well see how well my body holds up but I was planning on doing it well they
got together and uh Whaley uh something happened to car and he went flying off the track full throttle
and uh hit hit the kind of turn four deal there head on into the pole and uh ends up having a t3
broken and he's back so he's gonna be out for a while and he didn't discover that till like
yeah the next day or two after right yeah he because everybody's trying to get him to the hospital
and went down and checked on him you know about an hour after happening he was just beat ready to
know I'm just sore I'm old haven't done this for a while which you know you can't yeah you know
on Saturday morning yeah he was up and like thanked everybody on facebook for calling him
checking on him he's like I doing good just saw her be out in a couple weeks so then all
a sudden didn't feel so good or something was in the yard and they're like oh yeah well your t3's
broke yeah so uh he said about three months and uh but he says I'm gonna come back he says you know
we'll be back so uh start off that way but yeah good races uh man ppm was uh uh rolling at the
end there but uh good races uh kale thomas I mean there's good battles up front for a long time cap
kindness one cap star captain make the invert or redraw oh yeah captain make the redraw so it was uh
it was a heck of a battle and then uh kale thomas uh xafc racer um in 49 x car which was cool
because we talked quite a bit and he's like man I'd like to join your series just to do it he goes
I mean obviously all stars is our thing and I know it'd miss five or six shows and uh but he goes I
just like racing with you guys and he says it's always cool but yeah uh gotta gotta win there for
kale thomas which uh ppm was rolling at the end I mean that a pretty good battle then uh kale kale
ended up winning um then uh I think Bryce ended up third yeah Lucius then uh late models um a good
good race there so far buddy Ryan Missler uh took a very nasty crash yeah um yeah it was I missed it
because I was passing out some stuff because usually I'll pass out some bonuses in between
the races and don't get to watch the late mile race all the time and it was getting to be a late
night so okay I'm gonna go do that then I'm just walking past uh the the pit tower and just get
up to that little concession stand I hear looks like upside down Ryan Missler I'm like oh shit
then my daughter comes around she says it was bad it was bad you need to get out there so I got
out there was at the accident scene where he was uh just getting ready to crawl out the window and
his leg was banged up a little bit and they're like oh we can you know let us look at your
leg and that goes oh it'll be fine it's either just cut a little bit or bruised a little bit
but he said it's a little sore and I know card needs a front clip rear clip frame rails broke
um it was a mess it was a bad I reckon and as we talk I was actually texting Ryan um because
earlier I saw the in-car footage if you go to his youtube channel you can see the video and see the
accident um and I saw the in-car footage was clipped on Twitter so I watched it and you can hear
as he's hitting when he's rolling you can hear him he's got a mic in his helmet so you can hear him
go uh uh and then once he stopped the safety workers came up and uh you're all right and he's
like you could tell he's a little out of it um and then they're like where are you at and then
I'm okay I'm okay like like you came you know like you came to a census so I texted him like
dude you're okay like you were out of it the start of that when those guys came up and he said hey I
may have been a little out of it but I'm good though so yeah yeah and he said uh oh he has Bradley
Winkle for him so he ain't real he's out of it half the time as he said he goes you recording a
podcast this evening I said as we speak Dwayne's talking don't worry about it so yeah but uh Vander
Mark from Michigan yeah Mike Vander Mark Jr yeah Kamin got the win uh over Todd Brennan then our
buddy Devin Shields the big blue machine and the big blue machine wasn't a big wrecking ball this
week big blue dozer yeah big blue dozer that's that's what one specific team calls him yeah well
for good reason have you ever seen any of the highlights of most of his career
uh but I have him threatening me next who's that asshole on dirt nerds what's his what's
his phone number I want to send him threatening text Bernie's house down like I was going to
everybody else's yeah go to Attica and see him face to face um but uh yeah like Rusty and Kyle
Moore Ryan Mark and we're all yeah you know kind of mid-pack team Spangler is there yes Spangler
was there but yeah it was real surprised you didn't see a charge from Kyle Moore or Rusty especially so
yeah it was uh Vander Mark you know he was down and raced molar a week or two ago and won there
which molars seems like they've been struggling on car counts so far this year which I don't
know why I mean I was there once and of course it was a sanctioned show so they had a pretty good
field but uh but yeah he seems he said that his car owner says they you know he goes I usually
come to Attica and get my ass kicked he goes you know and he says they found something and
so it's cool to see guys like that win yeah you know yeah mix it up a little bit yeah then our
305 is like speaking of cool to see wins you know that's uh you know I don't play favorites but uh
this guy's been with me so raced every single 305 show we've had except for the one year he missed
because left track got the bad traffic accident lost her hauler lost her rig lost trailer um
you know had some people banged up um and that so they end up taking that year off but just
one of those chill guys I've never I've never seen him say anything better I never had him
pitch about a thing and he's had some you know had some things some accidents and stuff where
he could easily but he just man so what it is man that's racing that's why you take him home you know
work on and bring back the next day it's a whole new day it's always just been chill and I've told
him for years like you gotta get an afcs victor lane because he's won some shows off and on but not
a ton but uh Steve rando breaks through and victory lane for his first ever afcs 305 win so
he was happy it's funny because uh when I signed everybody up he was giving me shit he goes dude
that's my last hundred dollars he goes I said well then you better drive your ass off tonight
because it's 1200 to win in a victor lane I go you want me to keep taking that hundred dollars
every week now because evidently that's what you need for motivation an empty wallet he goes yeah
that's not a bad trade off so uh but it's cool is this one of those guys it's cool and it's funny
because um that's telling me earlier in the night um I'm like dude this is getting harder and harder
to do because there's just two of us and you know um I like you know expenses is just just getting
harder and harder to do and like we really need a win or something this year because it's just
then bam right out of the box so yeah it's cool yeah that's that's you know like I said I
I like all of our guys and girls and it's cool to see somebody like that I mean yeah you know that's
not Jamie Miller not Paul we yeah I mean nothing against those guys yeah oh yeah they're tough to be
Seth was right on him I mean Seth I'm sure Seth was gonna get him because Seth two or three times and
it's like it's almost oh let's say Seth get up because we know he didn't give up yeah but
I think I honestly think Seth could have probably pushed the issue and probably would have been
contact more than likely just the way they was going because Seth kind of got up there and there's
a couple times that it could have been he could have pushed it but I think they would have had
big contact and he probably would have dirty dick demon kind of and I think uh I think Seth's
just like okay first race of the year I'll take I will uh I'll be here if he makes a mistake I'm
gonna you know try to make him make a mistake yeah I'm going to capitalize if he makes a mistake but
I'm not going to you know trash our shit for so you might wreck two race cars yeah so it was uh
and I know Seth's really focused on trying to get the title this year I mean yeah he came close
last year because well he had you know beginning of the year he had some just some shitty runs and
then the end of the year he was just on fire yeah so I think he not that anybody wants to think about
points racing right away but uh we got big money for the 305's I mean highest point fund they ever
had $18,000 point fund that's what they said they're like holy shit I had a lot of people
thinking from 305's like man that's that's awesome so so uh but yeah great race I mean Seth
it wasn't no give me I mean Seth was right there Miller struggled he started towards the back weaver
hadn't ended up taking his wife's car for backup car because he went out for hot laps and pulled
right in they had all kinds of issues and his wife wasn't feeling good anyway so she
elected not to race so then they unloaded that and which he started into the heat race
uh transferred in yeah I saw our buddy Brayden Harrison got the car out the first time too
Josh told me he's like dude at three o'clock if you would have called me and said are you making it
he says I would have said they're absolutely no way in hell he goes we moved heaven and earth
to come run afcs and be here to join the series and to be here the first night and he's like and
I'm not shitting you won videos three o'clock we was not even remotely ready yeah because didn't
they pull in late yes because I don't think the engine was running oh yeah yeah they was doing all
kind of shit uh yeah yeah they missed hot laps they missed uh yeah they missed a lot and uh
ran good yeah ran decent yeah so uh they got you know some there we go seriously goes
because we all like we really want to do this and this afcs we want to we want to you know
do our damn this is trying to make all the afcs shows and he goes you he goes you wouldn't even
believe everything we had to go through to get here so but it's cool that you know guys are doing
that you know I mean so uh but yeah good races a great crowd it was a great crowd um Friday night
it was uh yeah I was very impressed with it was a kind of usual Attica opening night crowd
oh yeah it wasn't it wasn't as big as last year yeah but it was uh it wasn't world outlaw
crowd like it was last year but it was uh it was bigger than the all star crowd the night
of the week before yeah um so yeah it was uh it was a good crowd so uh yeah very happy uh
you know a little late night um but you have that uh Caleb Henry took a nasty crash uh fighting for
like three well him and Bryce Lucius and he's trying to go three wide down the front stretch
around the lap car or yeah and it just kind of narrowed up yeah almost four wide and it just
oh no it wasn't nobody you know crashing each other just one of those hard racing and unfortunately
bit Caleb Henry which uh thank god he was ended up all right because he's laying upside down in
the track just past the flag stand and running like third or four so all the coalfields coming full tilt
so everybody did a great job there and uh great job to Attica started 22 cars uh do the good car
counts started 22 and uh each of the sprint car divisions he said Craig mince took a tumble too
yep Craig mince took a tumble as well um just while his deals he got in the corner hard and uh
got into the left rear just a little bit with his front end and got on the brakes hard not to
take the guy out and end up taking himself out but just one of those you know
walls deals yep missed it moment yep so uh but yeah good racing um yeah it was uh very happy
with opening night uh but happy with the car counts it's funny because uh Bernie come up
within the race parts and he's like uh do we gotta join the series around with you I said no you
don't but I said I think you probably should join it I mean it would be great you know you know
we could have BPM here you know yeah just come on over I said it'll be fine 15 races now yeah like
you know it'll be great you can you can you know we'll have you we'll welcome you and he kind of
laughed he goes yeah he goes well and I thought I had spithaler too because he said they're not
following anything and but which I agree that's kind of our issue on Saturday nights sometimes
when we got four or five tracks running in Ohio you know a couple of them's an hour hour and a
half closer to his house than uh than Fremont is and he's like he goes I'll probably run all the
Attica ones and he says maybe a couple Fremont ones but there's some there that we're racing that he
goes it's hard to pass yeah the same pay basically to go an hour and a half extra and he runs well
like Sharon too yeah yeah Sharon and uh he's hot to get maybe a domains field time oh yeah that's
right that's coming up a couple times yeah so so yeah which I get but uh yeah we got we got like
said 18 members of the 410s and 31 and 305s which is just absolutely insane yeah we had two members
well Andrea we virtually joined and like I'm gonna sit tonight out then uh Dylan Watson one of our
regulars uh he messaged me he's like can I I said yeah you still gotta join before hotlaps on Friday
like well can I venue mow you or something because we ain't gonna make it he goes I don't even know
how many times we're gonna race with you this year but he goes what you do is awesome and I want to
be a part of it just you know so yeah well just the bonuses you get oh yeah for being a member
might as well yes and uh we even got a few more bonuses than what I thought like a scs gears usually
gave us you know about uh six sets of gears and uh cap got them stepping up this year and then we
end up getting 12 sets of gears nice right there got doubled already on that you know and yeah
you take the good gears or like 230 bucks a set for the professional ones and take that time six
extra you know there's 1200 extra bucks that you still drawn for Hoosier tires or yep okay so you
got that too yep we got 10 total so we do five for the 410s and five for the 305s we used to get
20 but now we get 10 yep and uh but yeah so we got gear so yeah we got you know right there we got
22 solid prizes set of gears very well then uh with mac entire retirement deal we do the
lucky a of sys driver 410s is 100 bucks a night and we draw you know same deal so
you know right there you take you know five and uh six or 11 plus 017 so you know you're talking
28 29 really good prizes um for that same thing with four or 305 so yeah and that's just being
a member it's not yeah it's not results driven right and that's what i told a couple people
i they're like so what's the benefits of uh joining i said well i said uh well spit hair
we was talking i said so i said you get into points fun and then i to me and i said it from
day one if you want me to charge a membership i want to do something for the members besides
you're just in the points fun oh to me that's dumb just to pay to be in points fun it just is
to me yeah doesn't feel like you're getting anything extra no you're not so it's like
uh we like these suits your tires we're gonna do member only drawings and then we get other things
we're gonna do member only drawings you know and at first it started out where we's only getting
maybe 20 things a year and now there hasn't been a year in the last few years that everybody's
been a serious member hasn't won something throughout the season so uh that's why i told him
that i said then but i said you don't have to join us to run with us but and i said there's still
some bonuses for people like you and ppm and guys that don't draw us guys said uh quick times open
to anybody i said lucky pill draws open to anybody hard chargers open to anybody um hard
luck's open to anybody lucky a main finch and spots open to anybody but then we have you know lucky afcs
members a cash deal that's only for afcs members our tires only afcs member our gears is only afcs
members and i said you know we got some gift certificates uh dmi gift certificates which
i stepped up this year uh they doubled their uh giveaway with us this year which i had no clue
but it's funny because he messed up the gift certificate because he came with inspired last
year he goes oh oh shit i updated that part but not the expiration well then when they came through
this double what they have been like okay this is right he goes yeah like cool so so yeah they
up their deal and um so yeah it's cool then uh write in supplies i mean uh if they give us some
gift certificates everybody in the series should be getting one of those uh they forgot to send
this stuff out so let's come in here in the next couple yeah weeks so uh yeah it's uh and i already
got people talking uh asking me uh what we can do what we can do and i think uh here here in a month
or so we're probably gonna have uh 305 heat races are probably gonna pay one night oh cool and different
things that had somebody asked about that already and they're like well how much do you need i said
well it really depends on one how much you want to spend yeah in all seriousness because it said
depends on the car count like do you want to pay every spot or do you want to pay top three top four
i said one time we paid every spot and i said but i did it reverse i said the guys that made
day main only got like 10 bucks a position and the guys from the b main deal got more money that way
they're like we love that idea and yeah we want to pay everybody so okay well you know if we got 30
cars and depending on what we want to pay we're gonna need six eight hundred bucks you know and
so they're like we make that happen we'll get a couple people in so we'll see what happens out of
that we got some people working on that so uh yeah it's already in motion of people wanting to add
extra stuff already and had a my buddy uh ryan that does slide job podcast now um his he's working
on some sponsors he goes a couple people might be interested so uh we might have the slide job
podcast help us out a little bit um they've been covering afcs and doing a solid on that deal and
he's just starting on the podcast business so he's been asking me a lot of questions like
i know ellie's the one to push his butt i'm just a dumbass that speaks into the mic
you gotta ask ellie it's funny that you say podcast business i don't know if i classify it as that
yeah actually probably could be i just uh i just want to say what i want to say and not have to
worry about it so i can handle it he would uh he would like to if we ever do interviews that he
said he would volunteer to be a guest some night got you i said well you know we'll see what happens
that's ellie's department he's the dick i mean he's the guy that's right all hasn't froze over yet
maybe i'll surprise you one of these days guys don't know yeah when we got rubber blue on yeah
that would be that no you're not gonna be surprised like that but that's for sure yeah so another afcs
season started we'll keep you up to date with all the right back again this weekend hopefully mother
nature well in yeah this weekend right now looks reverse yeah friday looks like shit yeah it looks
better so i don't know we'll see it happens yeah um other racing going on um we got a couple weeks
off but uh word about law sprint cars were in action out in Missouri the 10th and 11th two
shows out at i-55 two shows one winner buddy kofoid who has won uh to that point he's won the last
three yes um so having a good start to the season there this past weekend was supposed to be friday
saturday friday at jacksonville which they really wanted to get in but had to pull the plug unfortunately
saturday was a tri-state which actually moved to sunday last night uh but one hell of a show
yeah hobs dot buddy thought he was gonna have his fourth win or was battling for his fourth win on
the last lap and uh some contact with tyler courtney which hasn't won a 410 race since he broke his back
and stuff which won a couple 360 shows but not 410s and since high limits was done racing for the
weekend and he's going back towards indianapolis saying hobs died was right on the way home yeah
so uh coming in took the world out while we're on that track that he's very familiar with because
he's ran a lot of usack shows there yeah and uh i guess the the big uh hubbub was uh you know how
it finished between him and buddy heavy contact buddy ended up crashing um you know i mean there's
bait in both interviews i mean tyler said he cut down which he did i mean he's seen it but buddy was
also popping a wheelie and landed and when his car landed it went up a little bit about the same
time tyler was cutting down so they contacted buddy crashed and uh which buddy to me to me looking at
how does it gets racing deal yeah but then buddy did not quite think so yeah but which i get i mean
he had would have had a good points night over gravel and stuff and you know i mean and he he
hadn't even looked at replay or anything yet so you know and the kind of baiting you know i think
and of course everybody's like oh buddy's wine and buddy's like he's told a science story i mean i
i think i i'm not first person i've seen pissed off because somebody's uh you know made contact
with him and you never think it's your fault no matter what i've seen people that's playing
that's been their fault they're like oh i didn't do anything you know so yeah i mean i think it was
the worst of both ends for buddy because he's pulling a wheelie and it landed in and his car
kind of shot a little bit and tyler did cut a little short to try to you know meet him to the
bottom so i mean it was first thing word outlaw race yeah but the hell of a show regardless yes
and brady bacon came from like twenty first or second like fourth and so it was uh um
so the cars and short um and bill belog entry something for bill belog uh unfortunately bills
had a major loss uh over the weekend with his uh significant other girlfriend passing away
38 from cancer yeah which uh thoughts and prayers out the bill and that race team uh bill's super
nice guy i've talked to him before he's on the outlaws he actually came in racing a fcs show and
was very very respectful and very cool and even thanked me afterwards and and you know and then
i met actually met her a couple years ago uh um john ray i'm a log fan and you know just got to
know him and you know we're going to know her on the road she did a lot of t-shirt stuff so uh
yeah a big loss for bill and uh he's had a bad rough season so far and hopefully uh
hopefully bill rebound you know i mean they had the car out there with the cars and short which
had a great run yeah he gained nine spots from 16th to 7th yeah yeah case jed rezek top 10
yes case he's been running good yeah well then week been before the big controversy was uh gravel
shoe heart yeah taking each other out which that to me that was a deal too i mean shoe heart was
coming up and gravel is coming down and it's funny because gravel was blaming shoe heart and saying
oh i didn't i didn't move down kind of like buddy and everybody's saying buddy's cry baby but there's
old gravel he's right you know shoe heart bidding the the shark bidding you know which
that was just a race and deal too which unfortunately took coal misito out and bailog
and uh some people but that was it's twice now they've got into it and they's both
i thought they was going to have a little slap fight on the front stretch because we know
they neither one's going to punch anybody yeah speaking of misito coal started on the poll
last night yes finished six i'm sure he wasn't super happy with that but still a good good outing
and you know obviously being in the dash 35 is running top five too there's a top car there so
yeah so hopefully i'm getting that team turned around a little bit but yeah Kyle Cummins on hand
uh racing you know with the wing which is uh new to him so kind of cool a couple
invader types uh down at uh hobstot so yeah did you see the gravel shoe heart deal
it's funny they interviewing them both and they're both like oh uh didn't he hit me like come on
we know you guys can have a little slap fight because we know nobody's gonna punch each other
yeah have your chocolate milk and cookies afterwards in the toaster and talk about it
yeah i thought it was funny that uh it's like if two people neither one of them's gonna throw a punch
yeah now cold yeah i get cold cold throw punch yeah you don't give a fuck no but uh yeah it's uh
it's wild action with the outlaws last couple weeks and some torn up cars so a lot of people uh
saying let's run outlaws on a quarter mile every week oh yeah yeah yeah that's i agree i mean outlaws
on a quarter miles that's when they're great yeah i would have loved to see them get that uh
Jacksonville show oh yeah that place is really i'd love to see them back to limo i mean yeah
long with the track prepped right i'd like to see them back to line because those are always good
shows i mean that's another one that would be a banger and who knows i don't know if you've seen
you know the rumor started flaring because uh uh unoh became an official partner with high
limit sprint car series yes past week i did see that of course that instantly sparked the rumors of
are we gonna get that limo land high limit show i mean that'd be all right too yeah um
other action high limits were uh in action this past weekend they were supposed to get two shows in
uh first night was in kansas there was like super severe weather rolling through so they canceled
early darcy is getting ready to take flight yeah so they uh they ended up canceling out in kansas
but got the lucas oil speedway race in uh where i'm interested to hear duane's thoughts kerry madsen
got his first uh high limits victory when his first uh sanctioned win like with a series in five
years it's been that long yes yeah there's not all win his last one so uh i dude they've been doing
good i mean when he's kept it you know he's kept it on the ground a lot this year kept it on all
force yep he's i mean he's crashed a little but he's kept it on the ground and um they've been
fast i mean and kudos to them i mean i thought it was cool you know i mean see him win not i mean
i don't hate the guy by any means he just crashes a hell of a lot of cars always has yes you know i mean
there's just some guys that are that way you know and but when he crashes he's always on the throttle
he's not crashing from being slow yes you know um so yeah i mean i i thought it's cool to see him win
and yeah they just they've had a lot of speed this year they're doing them better than like i think
they've been i mean they've crashed a lot but he's out drove burnt marks this year yeah you know and
some of those guys so uh so yeah i mean he's been a lot of dashes and he put yourself in those
position it shows you you keep putting yourself in those positions you know at silence is going to
be another one he's been in the dash a lot this year been running and he's another one of those guys
that's do not be surprised if i mean when you put yourself in those positions so many times
you're gonna have to win sooner or later you know and yeah um everything fell right so as of saturday
the points tanner torson is still leading the points uh by 57 now over erin right so riko abru and
third speaking of Brent marx i just looked he's 10th in points yeah he's had a terrible year
yeah geosalsy four so he you know making the switch he's been good out of the box pretty consistent
so yeah been uh high limit still uh still more to come obviously yeah um we're about
the late models were in action a couple weeks ago 10th and 11th for the aline i100 farmer city uh
brandon shepherd took the prelim night win and then bobby pierce getting his third aline i100
yep getting married and slowing down yep got married uh during the week and got himself
uh a win on the weekend so yeah but yeah nick hoffman second that's obviously the points battle
right now is those two guys uh b shep third uh at the aline i so good weekend for b shep even though
he's not running word of outlaw points this year but um say good amount of cars on hand which
yeah it's uh i mean dev ran had to go through the b main show to brian surely one of those was in
there so it's one of those shows that uh weather you know wasn't sure that he's gonna get the first
night in because weather was trying to make it not get in but uh yeah but yeah it was uh looked
like another really good show our buddy is arm broosters was there oh yeah first time ever
nice yep um other late model racing going on over the last couple weeks uh this past weekend the
big one was the gauntlet at uh bowls gap where jonathan devenport won uh 30 000 one feature but
also dictated a hundred thousand dollar bonus uh for having perfect attendance through the weekend
and winning some prelim nights i believe was the other caveat to the bonus so um i guess it was four
nights i believe mm-hmm you know at overton one one night madden madden one bye sorry my niece is uh
here leaving um yeah madden won the other one for 20 grand and then 30 grand on saturday went to jd
will herrington won a car they got a hundred dollar or a hundred thousand bonus yeah hundred
thousand dollar bonus so he walked away with 130 grand 26 cars on hand yeah i know the crowd wasn't
that's the best of crowds yeah which is kind of we'll say a lot of other racing going on so like
will herrington won 10 grand a cocker and i know uh i think like how bronson was there and some of
those guys uh was the other one gustin won a paragon friday yeah which had b-shap tyler
yeah that was the marty o'neill marvin o'neill marvin o'neill marvin o'neill mcmorenell and don o'neill
the ball raced in jameson was there yep 28 cars on hand there so um josh rice was there as well
um yeah because they're supposed to go to bloomington or i'm sorry brownstown the next night
yeah that got rained out because there's um another memorial race um forget what's the memorial race
was down there because yeah Hudson and all them was going to be down there too yeah i was gonna say
was a two-night swing for the northern all-star series which jameson's leading now the place yeah
so yeah there's been some racing on and off but um iron man at atomic the same night yeah uh
montpellier was racing uh kaden black got his first uh iron man win for 50 grand or 50 grand
five grand he would love that but i know that one had 20 cars on hand so it was kind of a split
field uh in our region for late models last week is was little of racing that's happened
it's kind of odd but right um yeah so a few late model races getting in throughout the southeast
in other areas but uh yeah that's about what we got and for that usack was an action the 11th and 12th
laurenzberg on saturday which was just an oan memorial j o memorial and actually pretty good
car count for laurenzberg yes and a good race and the track was pretty decent from what i seen uh
briggs daner got the win and then sunday they went to terra hope which i know had a little smaller
car count but uh kyle comans got the win looked like track was in pretty good shape it was so
it's kyle kind of hard to believe is kyle comans first usack win at terra hody was won some mscs
shows in that but never ran a usack show there um yeah so anything else i'm missing
speaking of mscs the new whatever's midwest thunder yeah open their season at circle city
friday night okay jake of denny yeah first ride in the 21 az which uh glad he made me look like
a genius because you know we talked about he's splitting time in that car with i think kyle drake
and i made the comment of why would you want to put a winner and then somebody
that's going to recycle cars and and you know jake you can send it or it wins right away so
thank you jake up for making me look smart yeah i i need a lot of help yes but uh i i seriously i
have no clue why i don't have him in that car full time well she's race well he's racing yeah he's
it's usack midges he's racing this year yeah so yeah um that's really all result stuff i got
yeah i can't think of uh yeah i think that's about it i know news wise there's not a whole
whole lot but did you see the lunge truck car yes got a driver yes the green and black number three
yes it's been popular with tim cating and uh some other select few in it i know but uh it was a
australian driver yeah um hot one yeah king shot right yeah dang king shot that's right i was like
i can't remember the freaking name well the probably one of the premier names in australia that
hasn't been here yeah or i don't think he has been yeah i don't think he's been here i don't think
i've seen him either no but you know he's one of the guys that's you know tough in australia that
i i think i could be wrong and graham or somebody that listens to us please let us know but i don't
think hematronic mobs would definitely know but i don't think i don't think he's been here
yeah i are at least not for a good stem yeah maybe maybe he's been here for a week or two for
something but i don't i don't yeah i think so i agree i don't remember seeing his name in a lot
of results over the year so um other news which it's really not uh dirt news but it is kind of
local to us and one track was dirt at one time but uh oh yeah plymouth speedway in indiana payment
and dirt and back payment and south bend speedway both pavement tracks now uh with pretty healthy
followings as far as fans i know cars can be hit or miss when pavement racing at all but uh both
announced they're gonna be up for sale yeah which south bends weird because it was for sale
thought it was sold uh one of these places i think like go hard or somebody i was gonna
take it out of business and not ever be a racetrack well because it laid dormant for a year or two and
then um i don't know what happened but yeah the people from plymouth are actually least
it for some shows this year one show last year and like three this year so uh then people at
plymouth are like hey we've got 10 10 and a half years in this and we're just ready to sell but
they're still gonna race they open up actually this weekend Friday night at plymouth and they're
supposed to have one of those uh all-star pavement midget races during the middle of the week this
year which kind of interested to see if that's you know sammy runs out quite a bit it'd be like
kind of cool if he's that close to home for once yeah but uh yeah so uh be interested to see what
happens there yes for sure uh other news i had was uh bill balogs uh significant other natalie
clemco was her name which she actually raced uh non-wing sprint cars in uh or in wisconsin wisconsin
yeah that uh wingless series up there in the 360 series or whatever she heard her brother both uh
racers yeah so that was my other bit of announcement um karsten fergusson raced at bristol in a truck
i believe we kind of talked about that uh the brownstone race that got rained out was the john gill
that's what i was gonna say i knew it was yeah not a memorial classic he's still alive yes so uh
be like jack hua yeah like dodie like jack hua last year was talked to him he was like yes it's still a
damn uh classic not a memorial that's when we talked to brad uh brad dodie because he was kind of the
first one to do this name a race after me even though i'm not dead kind of thing yeah that's what
brad said it's not the memorial yet it's just a classic still yeah so john gill that's right yeah
i knew it was something um yeah somebody you know yeah decent i just couldn't remember what the
hell it was yeah but a lot of rainouts um yeah i think the what was the other one uh marz weekend
was supposed to be big in uh iowa i know like shepherd was playing on going there and stuff
that didn't happen uh like we said saturday at brownstown ironman race at al dora got rained out
ohio valley dirt series at tyler county was rained out um yeah just a lot of stuff going on a lot of
a lot of freaking rain yeah weekend before our danie sam's won an ohio valley race wasn't our
fast race no he raced ohio valley first night then fast second night yeah is that ohio valley yeah
our buddy kody swanson even though it's not dirt uh wanted anderson yes i did see that thank you
park time racer yep no said he was gonna still race and those are the kind of races he's gonna be
yeah still some of those so we're gonna race a handful of races but yeah put her in victory lane
big shock yeah but they had 29 cars i think good good for them yeah that's good good it's almost
like if you want to have a shot with pavement cars you gotta have a small track oh yeah i mean
just tires and motors it all just has to be a little more leveled out it sounds like yes
speaking of that did you catch any because i think it was the week before that million
dollar deal the first race i i saw some of it that's about a million dollar demolition derby
they tore the shit out of cars yeah did santos win no i can't remember no it was um i think it
was wilson i think it was the 07 i think it was no that's ryan lid i think it was that uh i think
it was erin wilson wasn't it i could bend i'm i'm not sure i remember seeing santos a lot which
you kind of always do because he's kind of one of those but it was uh it was uh they had a lot of
cars with me and they trash like are they they even trash a couple in the dash yeah yeah it was uh
but yeah i think it i think it went okay the crowd i didn't look yeah erin wilson won the
inaugural one for 30 000 to win gotcha but yeah they they tore the shit out of car where was that
one at a five flags that's right it was the next one's at a wasso june 3rd which is in our neighborhood
but yeah they uh there's definitely some banged up cars for sure nice but yeah i can't think of any
other news seemed like i don't must see the the pavement sprint car series had some changes
happened did you see that yes the sealman uh the sun was the announcer but the dad was like the
race director yes something kind of important yeah wow and see it changed ownerships and they're
not working for him anymore so i don't yeah don't know yeah i met uh met them at the must see race
a few years ago up to berlin and had a good talk with uh jacob seal yeah jacob's i know usually at
the rumble doing yeah well he used to do some stuff for usack in different things quite a bit
and uh we had a good talk um first time i really got to talk to him oh outlaws added king speedway
yes in california in california in september which uh both miscitos love that because it's uh
it's like a tuesday or wednesday night i think it's a midweek show right down the road from
that king speedway is a speedway i've actually seen in person didn't see a race there but when i was
in california we drove literally a mile from it and sam's like you want to go see it like well
yeah why the hell looks like a cool little place so yeah yeah that got added um
i think that's i seem like something else got added but that got added for sure so
yeah i i don't have much else you got afcs coming up this weekend again friday at adica
saturday at fremont so we'll see uh see if mother nature plays nice both days right now
it's looking like opposite of last week last week we got adica and fremont canceled this week
adica's not looking good right now and fremont's looking good so we'll see yeah see what happens
yeah yeah we got uh we got some uh go kart teams going on around my area so don't be surprised if
you see some dirt nerd stickers on oh yeah a couple of go karts you know they're looking to get their
season going and there you go one of my vendors uh for my day job hit him and his his son actually
races and they go to you know martins or tony steward speedway yeah they go to all those big
races with the hoards actually yeah um so i was talking with him yeah they're good i think they're
this weekend or next weekend down tony steward supposed to be last weekend was a big race but
it got rained out um i know may there's a few big ones down there yeah so um yeah go kart scenes
well and alive it sounds like so yeah keep up to date with uh some of that bigger stuff too so
yeah i got nothing else really dwayne how about you man i can't think of anything else to be honest
yeah that makes you we just hit 59 minutes so of course that's good enough i guess uh here's one
thing i'll well pick your brain on because god because you love it i know i saw some correspondence
in comments against with from some i'd say well knowledgeable people okay we talk about so not
the chas no we talk about sprint car racing safety yes we talked about the c door deal
and anthony mackery and i saw some uh well to do people in the industry commenting kind of saying
some of the things you said i guess have you heard anymore seen anymore just uh yeah kind of a little
bit um i got a few phone calls um yeah and and basically they are not going to make that mandatory
you know because it's trying to get it mandatory where you have to run that whole deal which
the chasm systems i mean i think it's good but you just got to get it like they said like you know
buddy is one of the main ones that had a concern you know like said i talked to a lot of drivers at
pri and it was 50 50 they either loved it or hate it there was no in between there was no oh man
yeah okay this okay no is that you're like this is awesome or else i mean that's absolutely stupid
i mean so um yeah i think uh like i saw flea rudezik yes and he's all day detrick yeah i mean it was
all a lot of them kind of agreed with what you were saying about yeah what's gonna give yeah you're
too tight i mean just i mean it was kind of a consensus of like is there a way we can test this
and get some data on right and know what the hell's going on and and look at sprint car drivers the
the perfect sprint car driver you're talking you know i was making fun of david and the
Logan a little bit that's right there are 150 pound soaking wet little torps you know i'm
seriously yep mathy mackery same way i mean yeah guys like danie detrick are big yeah you know
guys are bigger i should say they're normal size he's not fat ass like us but you know
they're normally but these little little guys and yes they're in shape they work their ass off you
know you see logan and they're always in the gym but their body's still small so what's gonna give
out it's gonna be your body before because they got you so tight that energy's gotta be absorbed
somewhere yeah and if you're not being able to move you know if everything's got you so tight in
there where there's no energy being absorbed what's going to be the weakest spot on your body your neck
or your back you know yeah i saw a lot of people kind of you know i would say there's not so much
condemning the seat more of a just need to know more yeah just need to know what that's where we're
yeah you know it is and i'm not saying it's a bad deal just you need to take a little bit
of scientific thought to it too of okay this is great but we still have this and this going on
that's gonna kind of counter be counterproductive or whatever you know yeah yeah yeah you know
still a still a debate going on i'd say we'll see oh for sure but uh for sure it was uh
interesting to see other people want to make sense like detrick and i know people think he's an
pinnade asshole but i love me a detrick because he tells basically how it is and he says okay so
you're ratcheting yourself the tightest you can ratchet yourself in there you got the seat the
tightest you you got and it all makes sense you know i mean it's like yeah think about this a
little bit just use some common sense and yeah i mean you look at some of these crashes now i did
here you know and i here's another thing why can't we get these drive shafts and stuff not
hitting the seat why can't we get we got tethers on this and this and this you tell me somebody
can't be smart enough to make a strap to put around that to help it from banging the seat yeah
because i heard uh that uh macri seat got banged too oh yeah that's what i heard you know which
paralyzed kevin sundell yeah and uh we have you know some different things so why don't we focus
on that too i mean seriously because that i think would be pretty simple yeah kind of up i mean
you know i've seen them late even like on the steering arms put something on the general get
something wrap around tied each side of the frame or something and just try to keep holding just
something to help keep it maybe it won't be perfect but that's one thing i always looked at
sprint cars i said that would scare the shit out of me is that drivetrain right through my
legs yeah i mean they they have some protective things but still obviously it's not working the
greatest let's why aren't we developing something there a little bit like uh you know i think you
could come up with something some type of strapping or something uh i'm an engineer doing that there
you go get on it here's here's your chance to make a million dollars out of it yeah here's your
chance i'm not who's your tire okay yeah okay here's your chance to make a million pennies so i
yeah yeah take it easy take it easy but uh you know i mean yeah i mean not discarding what
they're trying to do it's just and that was a buddy's thing when i talked to him he's like it just
needs i don't want to be the tech crash test dummy and i don't blame him yeah yeah you know there
needs to be some type of you know and the problem is sprint car racing there's we're getting there
but there's just not well i guess that's a ton of money well that's something to talk about
word of outlaws put some kind of data measuring device on cars now right like that just started
the last few weeks i think yeah which is funny because uh one of our loyal listeners has been
saying this for years for the last couple years he said he even paid put one of the devices on to
measure okay how many g forces is there actually uh blake's been saying that for a long time yeah
he's been you know he is on he goes man it goes you find somebody that i can talk to
i like to put one of those on there and just you know why why is this happening we need some
scientific deals and the outlaws have stepped up and kind of putting that on there to yeah because
i saw there was a video of one of the officials strapping it on yeah someone's seat or on the
back of their seat so yeah um at least that's going on but yes yeah and and it has to and and
like i said i think uh they're almost too safety in it yeah because uh because it's breaking you know
yeah they found the weak point and then we we need a little bit of give and take you know
because there's been more injuries the last couple years all back because we got the best
safety equipment there is now it's too too good yeah yeah it's got to be a little bit of we had
shit for safety for how long and it seems like we didn't have as many injuries as we now we got
stuff over engineered yeah and it's uh you know causing issues with bags and the equipment lasts
just fine it's the human that's in the equipment exactly yeah it gives yeah yeah it's like let's
think about this if we have all this what's taking the impact oh yeah your neck and your back yeah
which again it's up to drivers to make that decision still so at least it's not you know a
crap well there's some things mandated you know you have to have a wrap around seat doesn't say
you have to have a insert but you have to have a Hans device which sounds like they the one
simpson one they think's the best for that type of deal um that would be an interesting one is to know
the forces yeah that you're hitting a self-contained seat on the side because they bounce around and
those years we know guys have gotten concussed from that alone so well and it's all how you
mount your seatbelts too and Kevin Huntley taught me this years ago you know he broke his back and
neck at El Dorre once backing in because he had his seatbelts just a little because the ideas for
them to slam you down you know yeah and they slammed down while it whipped his neck and back
there you had to have him on top of your shoulder so it pushes you down you know keeps you there so
but yeah it's it's all you know sometimes two inches in the sport or less
can make whether you walk or not hey two inches makes all the difference it does ask any woman
all right well we'll keep an eye on all that you know fun safety stuff it's I'm sure we'll
be going through more yeah hearing more as the season goes on but uh yeah always uh
interesting topic of discussion we'll put it that way yeah I heard Mackery's deal and I don't know
you know it's all been through the grapevine know that he's gonna be out a while yeah no it's
that's gonna be it's not gonna be a two three week deal you're talking probably months yeah
probably you'll be like I'd say he's probably lucky if he's back by July I mean that's realistic
probably what it is and that's that's one of those where he could probably come back sooner
but the smart thing is to make sure especially two in a year yeah I mean yeah that's tough
and that's what sucks when you see a driver like that with a lot of potential to do a lot of things
and you know we could see we see guys I have to Kevin Hunt we kind of be in one of them right
bow out of the sport a little early uh just you know right tired of putting their body through
the paces so 100 percent I mean yeah I mean still to a day there's a human body in there that uh
you know we love the entertainment and love watching but uh you know they have a life yeah
and uh they got to look for the betterment of how they're gonna live the rest of their life
you know and I think sometimes people don't think that aspect a little bit like oh I'll pussy
just get back in the car you know yep yeah we've had a lot of good case studies as uh as to why to
not do that too yes I'm glad this is unfortunate is for Mackery I'm glad he's taking the time
and just like Keith Whaley yep you know uh at Attica in the 305 like yep take the time
yeah the race car will always be there you know no use risking it so no no because you see some
people that I mean I've seen people like my dad had his back broke three times you know and
he you know the third time it ended up the surgery ended up it's what yeah he didn't survive you know
so you know I've seen it when you get older and yeah I mean you deal with some
issues so yeah get yourself healthy and uh live the race another day yes 100 percent
well all right thank you all for listening we're gonna call an episode appreciate you listening
we'll be back every week now until the race and racing season winds down again how about that so
until then again thanks for listening stay dirty we'll see you next time bye bye
About this episode
Attica and Montpelier kick off the season amid plenty of weather cancellations, and the Dirt Nerds crew breaks down what did run. Dwayne shares AFCS opening weekend at Attica, including strong car counts across 410s, 305s, and late models, plus standout winners and several hard crashes (notably Keith Whaley’s T3 injury and Ryan Missler’s nasty late-model wreck). They also recap Montpelier’s early-year late model success and discuss broader sprint-car safety debates around seat/energy management and data gathering. The hosts look ahead to more AFCS shows and other national series action.
This week we talk about the opening weekend for the AFCS sprints and the opening weekend with the All Stars at Attica the week before. We also talk about the Northern All Star Late Models at Montpelier. We cover the World of Outlaws at Tri State and the hard racing that took place.
