They’re talking about a specific dirt-track venue called Odora Speedway. Different tracks race a little differently, so the location is part of why the event is interesting.
They mention El Dorr as the event location where people can camp and get food delivered. It’s basically where the whole weekend is going on.
Topic
let's race two
“Let’s race two” appears to be the name of a specific racing event or series stop. Event naming is important in motorsports because it can indicate a particular format, schedule, or promotion.
They’re talking about the first race of the season at Fremont and whether it was safe to run. The big theme is how rain changed the track and how the track crew handled it.
Topic
AFCS race
They say it was an AFCS race, meaning it’s part of a particular racing series or rule set. That can matter because it determines how the event is run and what regulations apply.
They’re describing a track that’s wet but still feels sticky. That can make the cars grip differently than normal, so it can feel sketchy even if it’s not fully flooded.
After rain, the track crew changes the dirt so it’s not soaked. They mix it up and help water get out, which makes the surface safer and more consistent for racing.
They’re talking about rainwater sitting in the lower part of turns 1 and 2. On dirt, that can make the surface slippery and uneven, which is why it’s important to clear it up before cars race through.
The infield is the inside area of the track. They’re saying the wet spots were mostly near the edge of that inner area, not necessarily right where the cars race.
They’re basically saying they don’t want cars getting wrecked or totaled. If the track isn’t safe, the risk of crashes goes up, which can ruin cars and hurt people.
In racing, “setup” is how you tune the car to the track. If they say there were setup issues, it means the car might not have been set up quite right for the surface or conditions, so it didn’t handle as well as it should.
When the track is wet, you usually have to drive more gently so the tires don’t lose grip. When it’s dry, you can push harder because the surface holds the car better.
Concept
RC lead
This sounds like a shorthand the drivers use to describe where they were in the race. The exact meaning isn’t fully clear from the audio, but it’s about their position/lead at that moment.
A track record is the best performance anyone has ever done on that track for that type of race. “305” usually refers to a specific class of cars, so the record is for that class.
Concept
410s
“410” is a different dirt-racing class than “305.” It usually means the cars are built to a different engine rule, so the lap times and records are compared within that class.
“Flips” means the race car rolled over. It usually happens when the car loses grip or gets hit, and it can point to a dangerous section of the track or a handling problem.
Concept
high end break
This sounds like they’re talking about braking hard or braking at a specific point before a turn. On dirt, braking changes how the car grips and whether it wants to slide or spin.
“Set the car up” means tuning the car so it handles well for that track. On dirt, small changes can make the car grip better and feel more predictable.
A red flag means the race is stopped because something unsafe happened on the track. Everyone has to slow down and wait until it’s safe to go again.
Concept
photo-finish margin (0.008 seconds)
They’re talking about a finish that was decided by a tiny difference—less than a hundredth of a second. That’s so small that you can’t tell by watching. Timing equipment has to confirm it.
A transponder is a small electronic tag on the race car that helps track timing. Instead of guessing who crossed first, the system records the exact time. That’s how they can sort out finishes that are almost identical.
Three-wide means three cars are racing next to each other at the same time. On dirt tracks, that’s hard because the surface changes and cars can slide. It’s usually a sign of a very intense, close race.
“Car links” is a way commentators measure how far apart cars are. It usually means about one car length (or close to it). It helps you picture the gap without needing exact feet or meters.
Concept
turns three and four
Race tracks are divided into numbered turns. “Three and four” are usually the last corners before the straightaway. Passing there can work because the way you exit the corner affects your speed going into the straight.
A restart happens after a caution when the race resumes. Everyone has to line up again and then race for position right away. Getting a good start on the restart can make a big difference in who wins.
Green-white-checker is a rule that sets up the race to finish with a real final lap. Green means the race is back on, white means one lap to go, and checkered means the race is over. It often leads to a last-lap sprint.
Coming off turn four is the moment right before the main straight. If cars are side-by-side there, they’re still fighting for position at full speed. It usually sets up who can win at the finish.
A “305 race” is a dirt-racing class where the cars use a 305-cubic-inch engine. Since the rules limit the power, the race often depends more on setup and how well the driver handles the track.
The Fiat Freemont is a larger Fiat vehicle that’s meant for everyday driving and carrying people or cargo. In the podcast, “Freemont” may be mentioned because of where something happened, not necessarily because the car itself was racing. If you’re hearing it in a race story, it could be tied to the event location.
“Dry slick” means the track looks dry, but parts of it still have low grip. Drivers have to be careful with throttle and where they drive because the car can slide unexpectedly.
Ruts are little grooves in the dirt track. They can grab your tires and make the car harder to control, especially when you’re trying to race close to other cars.
On dirt, the tires can lose traction and the car starts to slide. If two cars slide next to each other, they can drift into each other unless they’re perfectly timed.
Sometimes on dirt tracks, you hit a bump or rut and the suspension unloads so the tires lift. When that happens, the car can lose grip and you have to be careful with throttle and steering.
“Keep on the throttle” means don’t back off the gas. On dirt, staying on the gas can help the car keep moving and stay more stable when the track is slick or bumpy.
“Outlaws” is a dirt-racing group/series that travels around and brings a big-name field. The hosts are saying the usual racing weekend is off because that bigger event is happening at the track.
Speed Week is a well-known stretch of dirt-track racing dates where multiple events happen over consecutive days. The hosts mention having a lot of June off because the schedule is dominated by Speed Week.
A “midget portion” means the part of the race card for midget cars. Midgets are a specific type of dirt racecar, and the hosts are talking about which driver/class handled that part.
The Dodge Charger is a performance car made by Dodge. It’s built to be fast, especially in races where acceleration matters. The podcast likely mentions it because it did well (or struggled) in a specific event.
“Hard charger” is a dirt-racing term for a driver who makes significant progress through the field during a race weekend. It’s often used to highlight strong passing and improvement from where they started.
“Passed a total of 32 cars” describes cumulative passing over the weekend, which is a common way to measure how much a driver gained track position. It’s especially meaningful in dirt racing where starting position and restarts can heavily influence results.
“Four wide” is when four cars are trying to race next to each other at the same time. It’s risky because there’s less space to avoid mistakes, especially when you’re dealing with slower cars.
“Splitting cars” means driving between two cars to get through a tight space and pass. On dirt tracks, the grip changes, so the openings can appear for just a moment.
Concept
diamond off the corner
“Diamond off the corner” is a way of setting up your car as you exit a turn so you can carry more speed. It usually involves steering and throttle timing to keep the car pointed the right way on dirt.
A broken foot can make it harder to control the car smoothly, because racing needs very precise throttle and brake inputs. In dirt racing, that precision is even more important when the car is sliding.
A “tacky” track is dirt that feels sticky, so the tires grip better. That usually means the cars can go faster through turns without losing control as easily.
A “big cushion” means there’s a wide area of the track where the tires still grip well. That gives drivers more room to race side-by-side and pass.
Term
cv
“CV” sounds like a driver’s initials or nickname. They’re talking about how that driver’s season started poorly and how they were trying to fix issues.
Sprint cars are small, fast race cars that compete on short tracks, often on dirt. They’re designed to be very quick and handle sliding around corners.
Midgets are small race cars that run on short tracks, often dirt. They’re usually part of their own class and can have different race formats than sprint cars.
They moved the race schedule around, and that can change how the dirt track behaves. Weather and time can make the track slicker, drier, or more rutted.
Qualifying is when drivers try to set their best lap time to earn a better spot for the races that follow. On dirt tracks, the surface changes a lot, so it can be tricky.
The frame rail is part of the car’s main structure. If it gets hit hard, the car can be bent out of shape, which can make it unsafe or impossible to drive.
The Kokomo Grand Prix is a dirt-racing event in Kokomo, Indiana. The hosts are talking about what’s happening at the track and what the upcoming shows mean for fans.
A side-by-side is an off-road vehicle with two seats next to each other and a safety cage. It’s common at dirt events for getting around the property or doing special runs.
The pits are where race teams go when they need to work on the car. If something happens on track, this is where they fix it and prepare for the next run.
They’re talking about a big two-day dirt racing event with the High Limits and All Stars groups. Multi-day shows usually mean more cars, bigger names, and a more exciting weekend.
Knoxville is a well-known dirt track where sprint cars race. The hosts are talking about how the World of Outlaws event went there and how many cars showed up.
Leading every lap means the winner stayed in first place the whole race. On dirt, that’s hard because the track can get slick or change grip during the event.
“Fast” here means the track had good grip so drivers could go quicker through turns. Rain can change the dirt surface, which changes how fast the cars feel.
A radiator hose is a rubber hose that moves engine coolant to keep the engine from overheating. If it gets damaged in a crash, the car can lose coolant quickly.
Term
sliding gate
A “sliding gate” is a piece of track equipment/barrier used to control the racing area. If a car hits it, it usually means the driver couldn’t keep the car pointed the right way after losing traction.
A fuel cell is the race car’s fuel tank, built to be safer than a normal tank. If the car hits “fuel cell first,” it means the crash was especially hard on the area where the fuel is stored.
On dirt tracks, a “high side” crash is when the car gets pushed up toward the outside wall. If the tires lose traction there, the car can slide, hit hard, or even flip.
Concept
jump cars
“Jump cars” means the cars are bouncing or getting airborne because the track is rough. That can make the car harder to control and can contribute to wrecks.
Lucas Oil is a company that makes automotive fluids and also sponsors racing. When you hear “Lucas Oil Late Models,” it usually means a dirt-racing series or event that’s backed by them.
They’re talking about a race track in Delaware—Georgetown Speedway. When weather changes the schedule, teams have to adapt to the track they end up racing on.
An oil line is the plumbing that carries engine oil to lubricate (and often cool) critical components. If an oil line fails or disconnects, oil can spray onto hot parts, quickly turning into a fire risk—exactly what the hosts describe on the cool down lap.
A “half mile” is how long the track is—about half a mile around. Shorter tracks tend to feel busier and tighter, so passing and traffic happen more often.
A heat race is an early race that helps decide who gets good starting spots later. If you do poorly, you might have to race again to earn your way into the main event.
Starting dead last means you’re in the last position when the race begins. On dirt, that’s hard because the track changes and you have to pass a lot of cars.
“Rusty rocket” is a nickname for a familiar, proven race car that the team can quickly get back on track. The phrase implies the car isn’t brand-new, but it’s reliable enough to be pressed into service after problems.
They’re saying the team worked on the car hard all week—fixing problems and getting it race-ready. Dirt racing often means you’re constantly adjusting and repairing.
An in-car camera shows what the driver sees from inside the car. It can make it easier to understand how hard the driver is working and what happens during a wreck.
Topic
Crystal Motor Speedway
Crystal Motor Speedway is a dirt-track venue referenced as part of the Great Lake Super Sprints/360 series schedule. Weather (rain) can force schedule changes, which affects qualifying and how teams plan car prep.
“Engines started acting up” is a common racing way to describe intermittent or sudden mechanical issues—like misfires, loss of power, overheating, or other drivability problems. In this context, it’s the reason a driver had to retire rather than finish the race.
“Pull in” means the driver has to stop racing and go to the pits because something isn’t working right. It’s usually a mechanical problem, not a racing decision.
“The 14 car” just means the race car numbered 14. It’s like calling out a team by their number so everyone knows which car you mean.
LIVE
So, let's get started.
We're not gonna have a podcast next week. Oh, I got Monday plans. I just found out about. Oh

Well, you usually do that. I'm usually right
Let me see the bunker is getting closer is what I saw yesterday see this right here after prom the kids
So much fun after prom this weekend so much fun. Thanks, but that was at the actual restaurant
I believe bullseye games on in the bunker. Okay, so it's not open to public yet though. That's where you got to go
So yeah in the basement. He's got another
Contraption coming. I know obviously there's pool tables and
Stuff down there, but I think he's got a few other things. I have pong table
I haven't heard those specifics yet of what all we can expect down there
But so yeah, they had some after prom stuff down there. Yeah, he's always got stuff going on
But sure shot taphouse calm keep up with the activities. There's more to come more to come needless to say
That Andrew he's always adding more and more always
all right, so
Racing around here kind of on and off this weekend. Yeah
There wasn't yeah Friday night. That was all wash out ahead of storms coming
I had a committed decision to call the event which was probably the good thing to do. Oh, yeah, it started raining there about
Five or ten after eight according to been for it lives outside of town. Yeah, some other people
So what a suck to get everyone there just to load up right at race time. So good call by them
Which unfortunately was an AFCS race
But you got to get your first one in at Fremont on Saturday, which was a little questionable
But still went ahead and got to show in whether be damned. Yes. I mean it was excellent. I mean
there is some people if I was getting I
Still got there pretty early. I had some stuff to do on the way
And there are some people
Messaged me already like oh man, are we really gonna race the track?
Probably gonna be rough. It looks like this gonna be rough. I'm like, you don't know what you're gonna be out there
And so there's a few teams that loaded up and left because they thought oh man, it's you know, it's wet and tacky. Well
I don't know
I I can say one thing the Fremont crew track crew did absolutely amazing
Because it rained a couple inches over that area. I had it because I suppose you got two inches
Clyde got 2.3 inches overnight and that and uh, they said rich said like hey, we're racing
Um, and there was a little bit of water laying in bottom one and two till about four o'clock 4 30
But they worked tilled it in and you know had it drained out. I mean, you know when I say little I mean very little
It was just at the very edge of the infield of and uh, even the drivers mean farmers like hey
You know, I got it goes if I didn't think it was safe
I wouldn't be doing this because I own cars too and
We don't want to start the first race this season with a bunch of hurt people and junk cars
Um, that's not good business decision. He goes. I am fairly confident. It's not gonna be terrible
And it wasn't I mean it was it was it fast. Yes
Uh, was it smooth? Absolutely
Um, and it was great racing. I mean, yes, it was fast. Was there some crashes? Yeah
But I
I absolutely don't think the crack caused any of them a couple people say different
But it wasn't big bouncy rough. It was
I seen a couple setup issues that maybe you know
Uh, you just have to be on it. I mean, it's fast. Uh, not everybody's cup of tea
And even a couple drivers told me like hey, you know what? This isn't our cup of tea, but it's smooth
and we're racing and
You got to take the fast with the smooth when it rains or fast with the dry when it rains, you know, it's either
California bowl ring racing. Yeah, what it was. I engaged your RC. Uh
lead for a while
I mean, uh
Traffic was crazy. I mean it was
It was wicked. It was fast. It was uh, when they're a new track record in 305s. Yes. Yeah
And close in the 410s. I think 118 something was the 410s 305 was 12
2 or 3. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yes, but uh, yeah
28 410s 20 or no 30 305s
And uh, yeah, there's a few flips, but uh, two of them parts broken cars
one
Got in the cushion
Wrong and flipped. Um, maybe you can blame that on the track. I I don't think so. I mean, I honestly
You know
And then the last one I didn't see how it started
I was on the last lap
I was watching the leaders fight come off of the
Turn two and all of a sudden I seen the end of the flip, but I didn't see the beginning of it
So I don't know how it happened
But uh, yeah, and thank god Zach Kramer's okay. I mean that crash was nasty
And his down the middle back stretch. He had a high end break
And just playing him to the right and he says I haven't seen the in car
He had a GoPro and he says you can see my see me turning like moving to try to like and he goes that ain't moving and
Uh, that car's junk. Um, but yeah, good race. Um
Great amines finishes. Uh, kyle thomas held on. Uh, we've had two afcs races this year
Same winner in four tens kyle thomas. Who's not running afcs. Yeah, former series regular
One part of the all star title last year
Um, I think they won the owner's title. Um,
But yeah in a one by point one two of a second
So a tenth of a second over darin nighta that was really closing in the last few laps
Um, gauge Garcia had a very solid run. I led the first, uh, I don't know 10 12 laps or so
Um, and then he ended up he ended up with top five finish
Um, so you know first time ever racing on fremont
And that's it. I was talking to mikey and then beforehand I like do this
Gage's gotta be licking his chops. This is in his wheelhouse. He goes, yeah, but you know as well as I do
We used to set the car up for this type of
Track, but uh, yeah, they did good held on and then the 30 fives, uh
30 strong and look just as it looked like steve randall is going to get two in a row
Uh, coming off turn two after they took the white flag coming back to the checkered, uh, treverson clary got upside down and turned three
So I had to red flag it green white checker
Drag a race to the finish and brian sabido
last lap uh last
Foot pass beat him to a line by point zero zero eight of a second
so thank god for transponders because it was
All but a photo finish
Yeah, and you said it was a good race. Oh my god
It was spectacular sabido paul weaver. I I don't know if paul was able to walk yesterday
that guy
and you know not picking on him, you know, he's
58 59 somewhere in there 57
And I mean he seriously looked like buddy kofo. He'd I mean he had that thing up on the cushion
They was sliding each other and and that's why
How I say well the track wasn't rough. I mean they're running three wide sliding each other
I mean one minute randall have it sabido sliding randall get back on him
Then weaver cut in between them. There's three wide a couple times and weaver jump the kush up on the cushion and shoot down
You know underneath. I mean and that was going on for the last 10 laps
You know then randall finally like two to go got
Well, they kind of kind of you know was fast that way and you're sliding each other
They kind of got a little bobble up on the cushion and he just had enough where he got a couple car links and looked like he was gonna
I mean speedo is going to give him a shot in three and four because he tried that before and just couldn't stick it
So, you know, he's going to try again
But then flip came and uh, yeah, it was restart randall got the jump and uh
They was right there the last lap because it goes green white checker and um
Yeah coming off turn four this side by side and side by side all the way down the front stretch and
Yeah by point zero zero eight. So uh and weaver is right there, too
I mean we were I was like he's got to be tired because it you know, that's big physical
Run and in the amines the four tens was running 13 zero. I think fast slap and the 305s
I think fast lap was 13 two or three. Oh, wow. Yeah, so it never really
Um, yeah, I didn't slow didn't lose much. No, that's usually what it starts at. Yeah, you know for the night
So, I mean you was running
You used elbows up the whole night and yeah great racing
I mean you I don't if you didn't like that then you're in the wrong damn sport
I mean it was fathes popping wheelies and was there a ton of passing? No
Our hard chargers was five and four
But when you get a hammer down track this way it is but there was plenty of slides on that 305. I mean
The official lead change because it's only back to line
There's a lot slower than what the really was. I mean randall randall led most part
I mean they was giving him shots and he'd get right back under them and take the lead. I mean
it was
It was an excellent 305 race one of the best races I've seen at freemont in years
I mean
I don't know about years because the one Danny Dietrich won by a few on the dry slick one there a couple years ago was
Damn good. But as far as fast track, I mean it was smooth. It was
it was just
all out hardcore
throttle down
Racing but and everybody's like, oh, you'd think somebody took off in one by, you know, six seven seconds
No, I said point one two and point zero zero eight in the truck feature key sorg one
He won that by us like 1.1 second over Sean. Blaney. I mean that was usually that's the photo finish feature almost and
It's hard to believe that a one second win is
The biggest win all night. You know, I mean it was that close. So
Yeah, I thought it was excellent. Um
I know there's some people like all the track track wasn't roughing
We show you a rough track. Yeah, I've seen plenty of rough tracks when it's uh
Uh, I mean kocomo
Uh had a couple ruts, you know last night that was catching cars. I mean
I mean, I I don't get it. I it was funny. I talked to somebody today
That wasn't even there to watch on tv and like dude, what's it coming to like?
Why did people leave why why those people talking about like it looks me? I said it was smooth
They're like, well, yeah, you can tell by you know, how they was battling
And you ain't gonna run three wide and sliding each other if it's rough and because you'd be bouncing and flipping over each other non-stop
So same way with four tens. Yeah, you want to be racing side by side
It made it quite interesting though because sometimes I just race inside by side and pull wheels off the ground and
About hit and just keep on the throttle
Yeah, so we talked kill thomas being the winner. Uh, both afcs races you've had so far but not running the series
No, uh, so your points are a little a little different
But uh, yeah cap leading the four tens by eight points over tj. Michael shout out to them
They are starting off the season solid. Yeah, drag mints
Flipped first week. Uh, had a solid run
Uh, I think he ended up third
Saturday night he got by garcy at the end and uh, he's up the third points
Yeah, and he wasn't gonna run the whole he's gonna not run the whole series
But I don't know I've been working on him like hey
You know you're up in the points. Yeah now. He's had two rainouts. So he's only got 13 races. Yeah, that's like man
Get a rain out here there
um
305 Steve rando rando up top. Yes
with uh
Paul weaver and fifth and jamie miller and six, we know both those guys are
You know guys you gotta watch too. Yeah jamie, uh
jamie hasn't had a jamie miller type start of the season so far
He hasn't been a contender to win any night so far. Yeah, it's only two nights, but
If you said hey jamie wasn't even contention to win either night or somebody would tell you. Yeah, you're full of shit
Yeah, for sure
When's your next day of cs race then?
May 8th and 9th. So this weekend's off
Obviously because outlaws are coming to adica, but um,
Yes, then may 8th and 9th
Right on then we're off well to the end of the month 30th and june 1st
Then we only have one other show in june just a one day show at adica
We got a lot of june off because of speed week speed week. Yep
And such yeah
Honestly, you mentioned kokomo. You actually made the trip over there sunday as kokomo had the grand prix but had to shift
Their schedule was supposed to be friday saturday. They with weather they shifted it to saturday sunday, which
I should have put money on it that dwayne would end up there on sunday. Yeah, so uh, but uh, yeah friday or saturday night
I should say uh, justin grant took the midget portion and robert belue took the sprint cars
And then sunday
Hundreds was a hundredth start and got a win jacob denny
Ohio fella which was hard charger night force are like dead last and got
Third or something passed a total of 32 cars on the weekend. Yeah
So I like about him. He's
yeah
It was a good
Midget was a good race to start but then uh, yeah, he got out denny got out there and that was the end and then
For the sprint cars, which were not usaac. They were just low, you know a regular kokomo show
But uh, kyle come and decided to show up for sunday only. Yeah, it was a good thing. He did for him
Maybe not for the fans because he stunk up the show by what five seconds or something
I think it was seven was it. Yeah by Italian once he got in the lead
I mean it was good
It was a good battle and once he got in lead the first couple laps
They hung right there. Then he just started in traffic
And that's why I love watching him and robert blue. I mean seriously
Especially at kokomo those two guys are spectacular kokomo in traffic. I mean
I was like Cummins, dude
It's like you didn't like he was battling. Yeah, he thought the second place guy was on his tail
Exactly and he was going four wide in traffic. He made it four wide several times just
He is splitting cars. He'd slide and cut in between them and stuff, you know diamond off the corner and cut it
It's like dude slow down, but I I get it too. You're getting a rhythm and
It's like, okay, if I start
Screwing up and missing my lines and doing that then then you can get beat
So, uh, yeah, he he put the whip to him for sure
But uh, second through like fifth was a great battle and I'll try
I was going up there for a little bit blue came up blue and jaden rogers last few laps were putting on a slide fest big time
and then jaden kind of bobbled a little bit because
Uh, still got a broken foot. So
Racing a track like that. That's you know, it was pretty tacky. I mean it did get a little dusty, but not
Not terrible. You still had a big cushion and that and uh be trying to
bounce off the cushion with your uh break foot broken
a little different
So, yeah, it was uh, yeah, it was good. Yeah, like I said tall was up there
Uh, cv was trying cv just had a bad start of the year and that's why they said he rate because he didn't race sprint cars on
Saturday but he did on because they on sunday because they said he just uh,
He's trying to you know, figure out all their issues and he ended up pulling in breaking
Yeah, he was up there for a little bit to start and I thought oh cv's gonna
You know do something and then he just disappeared. So, yeah
And uh, who's the guy that he flipped but he was running like fifth or sixth
Uh, it was a name. I didn't know well. Was it killer or something or I can't remember
But it was it the only caution of the race or
It was a red flag. Maybe that was the midgets. I'm thinking of I can't remember
Um, I say uh adam taylor flipped in the b main. Gotcha. Ron wasn't that one
It was a main and I can't remember if it was the midgets or the sprint cars because I was flipping back and forth
but
Yeah, there was a forget who who he was sorry fella
But uh, he was having a good run for a guy I'd never heard of you know at kokomo dicing it up and I think he got a tire or something
Yeah, and rolled it a little bit, but
Yeah, and they had what 28?
uh 20
Yeah, 28 sprint cars or 20s 20, I think 27 sprint cars or 26 midgets
Yeah, so pretty good which is up higher than they had on saturday. Yeah, so
Yeah, but you got to be there another yes, and uh, how was the crowd sunday because it looked a little thin
It was for kokomo, but it turned out. I mean it it came in pretty decent
I mean the back back stretch wasn't nearly as crowded. I guess as saturday. They said saturday was a good crowd
Yeah, but the back stretch didn't have hardly anybody yesterday. Well because wind was blowing right in the face
That's what I thought too. So the the front stretch. I mean wasn't full by any means, but it it was
It was decent. So I mean, I don't think they took too big of a hit and and that's the gamble of okay, we changed it on
You know friday, they moved it or thursday or thursday or friday. They moved. Okay now we're moved saturday and sunday
And all you got of course, there's really no racing papers anymore, but all you got is a couple days of the internet
You know everybody talks about how bad the internet is which it can be for racing
But this is where the good part is it was only spread by
You know a word a mile for the couple of teams, but you know on the internet everybody's sharing it. Yeah
um
Yeah, first when I first got there I got there
about
Uh, oh 45 minutes for a hot lap. So it's like
I mean you could still park right behind the deal while melissa came as they was qualifying
She still got to park behind the things. Yeah, holy crap. They're gonna be here then right before the first heat race
Everybody started coming in because it was cold and windy. It was a little chilly and windy and uh
But I mean it
It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't absolutely terrible. It filled in fairly decent. Yeah
Yeah, another good, uh
Kokomo show I mean kudos to them for making the switch and trying to get both shows in right
Yeah, the track eight a few cars in a qualifying which
You know they're everybody blames the track. Yes, there's a hole in a big rut, but it's like, okay
Here's a rut about three quarters way up the track
Yes, it's hard to go around it because your cushion's close to wall, but there's a good half the
Two-thirds of a track underneath it. Mm-hmm. You don't have to drive through it or try to drive above it
There is a track below it
Yeah, and when everybody was going right through the rut then a bit team as a kyle jones, uh
Trevor Klein which he never returned. He had a I'm hoping he's okay. I haven't heard any reports on him really
Um because he hit frame rail big time and he's just a little
I mean, he's probably a buck 20 choking wet
You know and uh yeah team as this was kind of wild because he just bikes up and rode it
Yeah, that was all there was to it. Yeah
But uh, yeah, so yeah, it was uh, yeah another good, uh, kokomo like said they
um
Tried and they and they're always doing something
They got a big dirt pile in the infield now that the four wheelers
The guy go or like the side-by-side's that go on and they actually put some
Little smit v's in there for the camera man. So you guys sit behind now, which
I think's a great idea. Yeah, and then I don't know what they're doing
I didn't talk to them enough because I got there and of course they was busy, but uh
They're doing something in the pits because there's a huge pile of torn up concrete from somewhere
Uh
Just uh past the pit accident. I mean behind the wall. So it wasn't a danger
Um, but yeah, they're doing something. I mean, they're always doing something there. So
Um, I was first time bruce took my buddy bruce with me his first time. He's been there in the new grand stands
Um, he's like man, these are good. I said, yeah, I mean, it's cool. And
So, yeah, but yeah, give them credit and uh, they got a big show coming up a huge show
In a couple weeks on may 8th and 9th with the high limits and the all stars two-day show
Mm-hmm
So yeah, that'll be a big
My guess is I mean you probably see cv and some of those guys racing that because I don't know
I should I don't think you sex race anywhere and you know
We've seen Cummins race with the wing with the outlaws and we've seen cv making several high women appearances. So
Um, I'm gonna be surprised as some of the non-wangers are there. Yeah
Yeah, we'll see uh how that goes, but we always know that's a
You know popular event they got high limits there later in september as well, but uh
Wing sprint cars at kokomo something everyone wants to always see so yeah
We'll keep an eye on it
Uh, speaking of wing sprint cars kind of the big one on the weekend the word of outlaw sprint cars were out in
Knoxville
Yes, and with high limit off it was expected to be a good car count. I don't know if they expected it to be
As well attended as it was but they got like 65 66 cars
Yeah, 65 on friday when I watched I don't know
I know it was over 60 on saturday, but I I don't know the exact count. Uh, but kind of a
interesting
Yeah, excuse me finish
On friday, we'll say but uh, you know one of those familiar faces, but not a word of outlaw regular anymore
Yeah, uh brad sweet coming through leading every lap to get the win
Uh, it's 14 years in a row now. He's won an outlaw race. I think I said and uh,
David gravel second ryan tims and third brent marx who we were talking about last week who has been pretty quiet
Yeah, ended up with a top five so good for him and that track was fast too
I mean it they got a lot of rain on thursday night
In the friday morning. It was fast
Yeah, and then saturday david gravel won
improved his position
By one on uh, saturday from his friday outcome with karstmasito second ryan tims with two top threes on the weekend
Yeah, kids still run strong, man
Uh, lovin shoe heart gained 10 spots to finish fourth and riko fifth
uh, I didn't see many
Issues or any craziness come out of the weekend. They're not really I seen I watched uh friday night
couple bad crashes, uh, just uh
One oh man, who was this one of the local guys
um, and it was like the last lap of
The sea main or something blue
Blue and oil line or blue something a radiator hose or something going in turn four and
Edson got well that was on saturday. Yeah, uh, but he got in his own own
Fluid and backed it into the right or the sliding gate
And turned four backed it in fuel cell first and that was a nasty right then uh cameron martin, which has been running really well this year
Got in the I call it the brumuda triangle of noxville a high side of turn one just sometimes
Seems to suck car as uh as seriously like the blue bruna triangle you get up there just right and it's just like
Yeah, it sucks into the force. You can't turn left. Yeah, there's like a delta force or something up there and then
He got bit and uh flip big time
Yeah, there was a couple jump cars which sucked for cameron because he uh flipped out of the ballpark at eagle
On tuesday night. Oh, yeah, that's right. It was a brand new car
yes, so uh
Not a good week last week for cameron martin a local noxville guy
Yeah, and credit I guess a little bit of credit to carry madson because I believe the accident wasn't his fault
No kind of ran up on you know something else going on. He's been doing good this year. Yeah
But uh, yeah, and we always hear de wayne's opinions of carry madson, but we gotta he does crash a lot
We've got to give him some credit where credits do. Yeah. Well, he won there a couple weeks ago
I mean he's been running solid all year and which which is good. I mean, he's always fast. It's just yeah
He's just one of those guys that
One of those guys that usually crashes at least once a week, you know
This
But uh, I'm glad whatever's happening puts, you know putting it together because he's he's 55 years old
You know, I mean he's getting there where man. Yeah, he's that old. Yeah, you know, I mean and
He's done it for years. But still you don't want to see anybody take bad crashes, but the older you get the
Morris seems to hurt your body. So yeah
Yeah, pretty wild um lucas oil late models in action this weekend out east
They're supposed to have three shows one got rained out. So they ended up racing
Friday night at georgetown speedway
In delaware where devin moran had to go to a backup car after an oil line blew
Well, the the backup cars is the one that blew though. Oh, that was the one that blew. Okay. Oh, yeah
He had to go to a backup car after hot laps. Yeah got the backup car out qualified and after qualifying was over
On the cool down lap the oil line fell off and got on fire
Yeah, and luckily they got to fire out quick enough and didn't do any damage because the backup or the main car is already broken
But devin moran got to win 21,049 dollars
and probably not the
Drama he wanted for it to win go a backup car and then a fire and
Still don't have a setup on it. You know, they had no time to really set the car up for the heat race. They still
Came through. Yeah
Saturday at bap's got rained out
That moved them to haggar's town on sunday. I watched that on flow in between the kocomo
big haggar's town and brandon shepherd
Put it to him pretty much. I don't know if he led every lap because him and brandon overton were fighting there to start
but once uh
shepherd got out in front in the lead and
It was uh, it was all done from there. I think he won by like five or some seconds
Um, that's a big place. Yeah big half mile
um
Yeah, brandon overton second. He was kind of I think o'neill who finished third was catching him
Uh, but the battle from like third fourth fifth sixth between like devin moran max player ricky thorton
It was uh, it was a good one. Brian surely got up there for a little bit
So I had some good racing going on, you know, especially for a big half mile like haggar's town
Had some good racing just out front was kind of uh, kind of a foregone conclusion
So happens sometimes but uh, good car count on hand, which I know haggar's town can struggle sometimes
At 31 cars, which for them is pretty good. Uh
Mason ziggler got his car out for the first time this year. So he made himself a start
Um, yeah another good good show either early was there
Which I can't believe sarah wasn't at georgetown, but he ran, uh
Bedford on saturday or friday night. Yeah
Or yeah, I think it was bed. No sillings grove. I think he raised sillings grove
That's my one bedford sillings grove
Well as far as racing kind of closer to home, but not that close muskegum got some racing in
Had late models and sprint cars fast sprint cars on the card
Late models caden black got his first
Uh, I guess I was thinking first iron man went but that was back in yeah, that was week before
Yeah, but it was just a non-sanctioned late model show
And then our buddy ryan missler got his backup car out to attend and get the uh cobwebs off
We'll see I had a pretty good showing
Yeah, it started 24th and ended up six got our charger the night, which yeah had a backup car
Had issues in the heat race and pulled off. Well, uh, they didn't have a b main everybody made day
So that put him starting dead last and ended up a six. So
They got the old trusty rusty rocket back out. Mm-hmm
I don't know how old that car is, but I know there's
Trash or thrash on it all week to get it together
Yeah
And plus kind of knocked the cobwebs off ryan after that big crashing man if your people
Haven't looked at his youtube video or his channel watch that video because he's got the in-car carrier
Something that people you don't usually get to hear or see you know, we see the racks and all that but uh
The in-car camera tells you what the driver goes through and you know
You can hear him growing in the moon and every time it hit the ground and then breathing the real heavy athward which
if you ever been around the
You know a race team or you know the infield and anybody crashes. It's identical
You know, you there'll be breathing hard and all that. Yeah the video
Shows exactly and uh, steven a smith can eat a dick if he says racer car drivers are athletes because I'll like to see him
Go through that wreck. Yeah
Uh sprint cars for fast, I believe that was a yeah fast race. So joe meyers jr. Yeah kind of surprising entrance
Yeah, and they had 32 sprint cars on hand. So yeah guys like greg wilson
Brayden spit hauler went down because he's kind of racing a kind of uh, whatever schedule. Yes
Uh creed coming off. Yep creed coming off fremont. Yeah race there. Is that fremont at one time in life and went down there? Yeah, so
Um, yeah, muskegum got another show in I think Tyler guns leading the fast points
One of our local guys here Napoleon, Ohio and I believe he won the fast title last year, right?
I think so before
Yeah, so uh great lake super sprints the
360 series raced at crystal motor speedway on saturday supposed to race on friday. We got rained out at 96. Yep
Zane de vault took the win but a couple surprise entrances uh entrance will say one in the 51 clinton boyles
Yeah on hand racing must have the night off of helping the larson kids. Yeah, so uh
I'm looking for top 10 results named vault dustin daggett
Van girly third. Yeah, I mean had a good run
But uh, yeah, I guess a horseman was leading. Yeah, so they had an issue and had to pull off. Yeah, I pulled off and uh
Well, I
I don't even know what the show is called to be honest. I wish I should know mike mag that does that little
show
Round north west ohio here had me on
today and
He talks horsemen a lot horsemen. It's like yeah, the engines started acting up and he's like
I've ever pulled in it sucks
To pull in and that but he goes couldn't destroy an engine right away. Yeah, so
Yeah, he pulled in and yeah zane de vault which is running the 14 car
Mm-hmm run for the all-stars. I believe again for points, but uh all stars are off
so it looks like they're gonna do a little bit of uh
360 racing too because a lot of the all-stars was racing with the a of c s with us on friday night
We had a handful. We had cody bove. Uh, it's kaila pennery there
Who's that kaila pennery? Yes. See you for your mind. I didn't even see yeah. Well, he qualified terrible
Uh, which I don't know because that track was right in his wheelhouse qualified terrible
Was leading the b main by eight seconds. Oh, wow and it shut off
Yeah, I just saw they posted like, you know luck's got to turn around to some point kind of thing
So Bobby Elliott was there had a good talk with him. You know, he listens to the show. Yeah
Yeah, he was there bova
Bobby the guy that went to his prom over racing. Yeah, that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Remember him. Yeah
It's all right. He's young. You only got one prom
I mean just because you didn't get any dates to go to the prom when you was young. Yeah, I went to al dora instead
Watch the usag. I watched a sprint car race instead. There you go delay
So you were smart at one time in life. What happened? Did you hit my rock or something?
Yeah at the pits at al dora. No, just kidding. Um other news kind of dirt racing
Well, I guess we'll we'll talk about
Just as we came on air
Anthony Macri update semi update
Not so much on anthony other than he's gonna be out of the seat for a while. They announced they have a sub in driver
Yeah, for the month of may for the month of may
I I think it's a good driver. Yeah
Oh, yeah, mr. Casey came. Yeah, coming back behind the wheel
Yeah, it was kind of weird that he's gonna be driving for somebody else. Yeah
When he's got a car on the circuit, but and had two cars, but uh, yeah, I mean and
Like they said, it's they're just gonna support pennsylvania, of course, there's some outlaw shows
Involved, you know, and uh, casey's a veteran. I think maybe it'll help them, uh,
you know
The curve of getting somebody in there might they might think casey's experience will help. I mean
Yeah, I think I think it's pretty cool. I gave him a shot. I'm not sure how it all came about but uh,
Probably not a bad choice. Yeah, but a little little surprising. I think yeah, I think so too because sound like casey
Was pretty much done around the sprint cars. Maybe I don't know
That was the assumption after
He just went with one car with uh dason this year. So
Yeah, um
But yeah, cool. We'll check we'll keep an eye on that but uh, obviously
You know a skilled guy behind the wheel. Yeah, and uh
Who knows maybe some tips and tricks from the mackery crew will uh, line him up to run his own stuff
Well, that's what they said. They said they want, you know, keep the crew fresh and
They got sponsors. Yeah, so
Yeah, so the other news which was I get into was kind of dirt but kind of not
I watched the end of the race on saturday, uh for the now o'reilly series
I guess, you know, I could still call it the bush series by habit
and nationwide and xfinity and yeah, but uh particular driver
Who actually just won uh, what? Wednesday night in kansas?
Yeah, I believe
Was it kansas? I don't remember
um, no, it's uh
Eagle nebraska on tuesday, nebraska tuesday. Yes. Yes eagle. Sorry, but cori day
got himself his first
O'reilly's win and uh, duane mentioned it, which I guess I lost track with top three
Of the finishers were all are all kind of uh, still in the dirt world
Yes, and they all three was battling at chili bowl in january because brunt crews were second and uh,
Sheldon creed third. Yeah, I watched the end of that and that was a good jj late. The ailey was the 11th. Yeah
I uh
I watched uh, I was we were doing some reorganizing of the house, but I heard uh, you know
I was gonna let me check out the races and I think it was like three laps left
So I went out and then um, he was coming around four when there was an accident
But you didn't know if they're gonna throw the caution
They threw it just before he got the line which on the last lap it's a complete race
So he got himself the win, but uh, jason kelsey former
Philadelphia eagles lineman. Obviously he's been going up was there helping them out that day
On the cruise. So he got to go celebrate the win with him. Yeah
And kind of on that same subject
Um, even though he's a lot of payment racer. It's on the race. Yeah guy from our region, uh
Rice berlin speedway race to wasa race kelamazoo won the glass city classic at Toledo before
Is won the winchester 400
It now has dirt lake model that he's racing
It's raced the dome a couple times, but uh has a lot of
14 15 race dirt lake mile schedule this year. Mm-hmm. Carson hose of our yeah
Getting this first after catching a little shade uh over the you know
Last year and early this year with right running a little aggressive. I like it
Um, yeah, I like it like he said to you. I ain't here to make friends. I'm here to win races
Yeah, so kudos to him great sponsor chilis by the way great restaurant. Love going there. So yeah, so uh a guy that's
Just dab starting to dabble into dirt a little bit and
Gonna be he's got the chili's lake model. I know they got they guys are gonna go set schedule this year. So
Pretty cool. Yeah, cool. There's kid. Well, and what I like about it is, you know
In our region, he's raced a lot of tracks. We've been to and they're all promoting it today like
Like he was 14 years old when the track championship up to berlin and they got pictures of him, you know
And a wasa shows. Hey, you know, here's the guy at race to our track
Locally and Toledo real popular name for asphalt racing around here. Yeah
and so uh
Real cool to see somebody it just shows like he said it's been his dream and dreams do come true
So if you're a local or there'd be dirt, I mean like I said see cori day
Right cruise. You see, you know, Tyler reddick was a dirt guy exactly. Tyler right there. Larson. Yeah, you know all that
I mean
Here's guys that's racing your local dirt and pavement track. I mean
Who knows you it could be them someday. I know I don't know
I'm assuming host of r but like larson and bell didn't do it with a bunch of extra money behind them
Right didn't have a rich and you know, yeah, I'm not sure host of ours been racing
He I guess he raced his first outlaw super late model race at 12
I know he won the track championship at berlin when he was 14
So there's had to be some type of little money backing. I would think I mean
Yeah, I mean not extreme obviously or I'll see what had been in nascar way before he was
Yeah, I know uh, our friends over at the horse power happenings podcast had him on a few times
Because they cover mostly michigan racing pavement and the dirt
So I know karsten was on their podcast a few times. I think what I know like uh, jason seltzer that was the announcer at
Kalamazoo and uh
Kokomo for a lot of years, uh, knows him real well. He was all excited. I mean, you know, he's talked to him and yeah
Yeah, zack and them
And it's cool. I mean
I've seen him once and he seems pretty down to earth and you know, I mean he's just uh
It still is only 23 years old. I mean, yeah, still got a lot. Uh, yeah
A lot ahead of him. So yeah, and he ain't afraid to ruffle a few feathers, which
You know
Okay, that's the way that's the name of the game. That's right
Um, I got nothing else on my
Notes here dwayne. I got a thing for you what you got. What do you think?
Do you think it's gonna be do you think the punishment fits the crime? Oh
The port royal. Yes. I was gonna mention that. Thank you for saying something. Yeah, I mean
And they're making it sound and I love port royal and steve and those guys. I mean, they've always treated me well
So i'm not down in them by any means because I get their stand too
We don't want, you know, we want this to be a polite, but I mean
A year suspension and uh, took his win away and all of his points and that do you think
I don't know what so I heard
He said the f-bomb three times. Well, but he was talking bitching about the track
Yeah, I was gonna say he was bitching about the track too and a lot of people think that that's why they did
I mean they use the f-bomb
Yeah deal, but he's not the first person to suffer cussed over the pa. I mean, yeah, we ever
Watch flow every weekend. Yeah, watch that watch a tyler herb. Yeah, brain and overton or uh, yeah
You know, watch uh any dirt light model interview. Mm-hmm
I like how you singular the late model drivers out well regardless they and I mean it is yeah, you're not wrong
Everyone's some awesome sprint car guys. They're right or somebody, you know, I mean, but uh anyways
uh
That was a 305 series. All right, so so the year suspension is really only five races
I was gonna say it's really not that because we're only five races there
I wonder if that's part of it too is saying
If we do a year, it's only five races, right?
You know, you know, yeah, it sounds like the punishment. It's terrible because it's but still is five races. I mean
There's people complaining about the track, you know, I mean
I was wrong with the track that he didn't like
I don't even know not that Port Royal is always perfect. Don't get me wrong
But I honestly don't know what he was bitching about. Yeah, I don't know either something something
Um
went wrong and
Like a call or officiating or lineups or was it surface or I don't know. I don't even know to be honest
Yeah, I don't know. I mean I seen the interview on us happen. I well, I actually turned the race on
One of these got in the victor lane, so I didn't see any of it
But I was flipping and I forgot it was on and I turned it on and like well
This must be 305 guy because I don't know who the hell this is and it don't look like a 410
Engine to me and uh, yeah, then he started ripping the track and then few f bombs and I mean, I don't
Yeah, I mean, I mean I'm
So I'm a fan of being professional right in those kind of moments
um
You know, but if there's no written policy or
Things something stated at the driver's meeting saying hey, don't cuss don't talk shit about the track if you're in victory lane
Kind of hard to enforce something
I mean even back to the days of robert belu talking shit about al dora on victory lane
He's still got his win. He's still got yeah only got tony stewart
Tweeting at him saying hey instead of being a whiny baby. You come work the right, right? So
Yeah, I mean I forfeiting the monies a little much
Yeah forfeit the money then suspending the rest races. I mean I could see maybe a 500 fine or say hey
You can't race the next race or something then please clean it up and maybe
Apologize to the fan whatever. I mean I get it. There's kids around and yeah, but I mean
I think
I don't think the punishment fits the crime
personally
Yeah, I think it's I think it's a little excessive
I mean it's not as bad as it sounds when you say one year because it's only five races
But still it's five races and three or fives
Yeah, you know and
I assume they have some type of points deal because I don't know they got a couple series around there
So I don't know if it's one of those so screw them out of that. Yeah, it was like the past
series or whatever which I seen the car owner had a thing asking if anybody
Wanted to come drive his car
So I don't know if it ended up costing him his ride because they're trying to chase points or not or if that was just uh
I don't know but I seen the car owners like hey, I got a fast cars and
Yeah, is there a driver that wants to drive it? So I don't know if I just port royal races
I would say like I I agree with some of the punishment not fitting like like I said, I wouldn't take away his winning money
You know, yeah, but I would say this to drivers out there when
Reminds me of Dave Chapelle show Chapelle show when keeping it real goes right
It's one of those where you see this so many times these drivers and I
There's a handful of local ones and you know
that talk about how
You know, I'm 100 me and I'm oh, yeah original to myself and no one's gonna push me around
Okay, fine. That's your bed. You're laying in right so when you're not getting calls for big time rides
Right when you're not getting sponsors not going at the door
Yeah, maybe part of that's because of how you represent yourself all it is your fans and crew members and associates
represent you right
So that's my biggest thing is it's the track can do whatever they want
But who is the driver again if this costs him his ride like yeah, you're your mouth
Right, exactly. Oh, yeah
It's hard to shit where you eat then cry about it if you get penalized, you know, so so I mean I think
You know like said I I could see
You know, maybe hey, you're suspended the race because don't we don't want to put up that
We're trying to do the family environment or hey, you're got to pay a $500 fine or can't come back until it's put
You know something or
Or your your punishment is you got to pay a fine. You got to take all these kids
You know have a deal with the kids next like hey, I'm sorry. Don't act like me and buy them all ice cream or whatever
You know, I mean something something make a positive out of it
And you know and yeah, I mean
Yeah, but however, you know, I mean like said they can do what they want and that's the risk of
Running your mouth. Yeah. I mean hey, I mean, you know first impressions mean a lot
If you if you've never heard of this guy, you know, yeah, I can think of one right now. Michael facento
never ever
ever
What I ever
Give that guy a ride because of one interview at the chili bowl
Saying some stupid shit over the you know on camera and yeah, he got penalized
But to me the damage is probably a little more
Yes, than just you know that weekend, right? It's why it's turbo so popular. Yeah
But turbo's got a ride. Well, but that's what I mean. He's got a ride, but
You know people remember stuff like that. Yeah good and bad
Exactly, you know, and that's why some people hate turbo. Yeah, just like Robert blue
That's why the people in front of me last night was flipping him off and calling him a dickhead every time he drove by
You know, I mean
Like there's times you look at and go. Yeah, you're talented as hell. You're great behind the wheel
But that's where it stops. But yeah, and those people and
um
Yeah, I just uh, I don't know. I don't think the crime fits the punishment, but
Yeah, I I agree. It's a little harsh, but I I get it too. They could be you know, like I said, it's their deal and
Poor royal does a great job and they do do a lot of family promotions. So
You know, but like said, maybe say, hey, this is where the image. We're trying to do. Yeah
And I mean, hey, it is the reality. You're a support class
Yeah, you know, you but there's drivers that have the f bombs, you know, granted
It's uh, bleeped out or part of it's bleeped out or about how many drivers have
F bombs in their t-shirts about something. Mm-hmm. I can think of a couple very popular ones. Yeah, Bobby Pierce did it one time, didn't it?
Bobby F and Pierce. Yeah, some of these people
Yeah, so it's like to me personally, it's just not a tactful thing to do
Anyway, don't put it on a freaking t-shirt. I say that as I cuss like crazy on this podcast, but
As far as if I had a public image that you talked about you do have a public Indian image. You're a dirt nerd
I don't give a shit. Um, but like, you know, my paycheck doesn't depend on this podcast. So
it did
It'd be a little different
But uh, you know, that's just kind of one of those how do you want to represent yourself and are you
willing to accept the consequences of
And you go to a place like port royal where it's a little nicer facility and a little higher standard. Maybe
Um, if it wasn't well known to said parties, I don't know
But I agree though the the punishment's a little extreme. I I wouldn't
I wouldn't have penalized them their their wind money. That has nothing to do with
Yeah, because that screws the car owner or nobody else too or what you should have went to the car owners
Say, hey, what's your what's your driver owner split? I'll pay you your part and right, you know
To mimic our driver there. I'd tell him to fuck off. You're not getting anybody, you know, whatever
Hey, you're not supposed to say that you're a professional dirt nerd guy. I'm the one running the show here
I want
Yeah
But we don't have any kids that listen to our podcast so we're fine. Yes, we do. Yeah. No, no we don't cool kids
But yeah, I I think taking their prize money was was a little extreme
Yeah, being that it's five races like I could see the year suspension
For that reason like if they raise four tens, it's probably a different story, right? But um, yeah, and
But yeah, it's hard to to me
It's also hard to hold them to that standard when like we were saying
There's f bombs on driver's t-shirt grant their start out. Yeah, um, we've seen
I remember turbo one year after a heat race win at like the world or dream
They asked him what you gotta do this car to make it better and he's like, I got no fucking idea
Right. Oh, yeah, you know on flow. It's like really man. But hey other sprint car guys would do it too. Yeah, so
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of a to me if you're poor. Why you kind of put yourself in a conundrum there
Yeah, like I don't know what happens if uh, yeah de trick wins and he's pissed off, right?
Or
Whoever logan shoo hard or you know, what happens if it's uh
Brandon overton, you know
Comes there for lucas deal and wins, you know, yeah, what do you do? Yeah, I don't you've set a standard
Mm-hmm
Then who rules that exactly
I mean, I think something to be remembered is like it any track you're ever racing at anybody ever
Uh, the track has discretion to do whatever they want. So when you prove like said and I
I get you know that they're upset and
You know, they feel they should do something which I ain't saying they shouldn't yeah
But uh, yeah, I'd maybe humiliate him a little bit and say okay next week
Here's your punishment. You gotta we're gonna have all these kids and you're gonna
Buy him treats or snacks or whatever and say don't act like you know, I did bad, you know, you know something
Yeah, I don't I mean
Yeah, I don't know what the right answer is but
I think uh prize money was a little bit too far in my opinion for
Because that's after the race race is over. He won the race. Yeah, you know
Wasn't on track. It wasn't an on track issue. It was a driver issue after the race. So to me like
All the other shit's kind of fair game
But the prize money should still stay the price as I said, there's you know
Do something but I also think it's probably made to be a little bigger deal than it is too. Oh, I think so too
100% it's just been for a whole year. Like we said, well, it's five races. Yeah, it's not the end of the world
That's what I mean. It's kind of blow to like
Purposely, I think like
We're doing this stuff deal. He's suspended for the whole year. There's only five races. Yeah
I think that part's a little a little embellished, but yeah, yeah
Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I love Port Royal and the people there they're like said they've treated me awesome
They I know sometimes they listen. So hopefully they don't get upset as
But just uh, we we don't skirt around things too much. Yeah ever
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean the day like uh, you know what Ryan Timms won the the
Tuskegee last year
But someone who's like a little lesser known like a Mike Wagner or someone who's it and comes out all excited
Can't control their emotions. You know, yeah. Hey something slips. Like are you gonna do that to them too?
Yeah, that's what I mean, or maybe the mayor. What if the mayor wins a big race?
He's he's a politician. Yeah, you know, he'll be fine
Yeah, we know they're all crooked
Oh, shit as I cuss on my podcast, but I don't care
Oh, I don't care
another another
Dirt nerds team that did get out and race was uh, the Layton racing go karts over at Fremont dirt tracks
go kart track on
On saturday

Let me see sweet. Yeah. Yeah, like uh, ethan dotson was there. Yep. Um, I think deniser jr. Yeah, he finished third
frank heken asked to a second frank. He had some runs. He's been doing all right this year. So
Yeah, mars in action mlra coming back in action
So, uh, yeah, big big old billy moyer was uh, racing uh, michael chilton won at richmond

The blakewells were spread out a lot this weekend because uh brownstown race too
Yeah, I saw that
I had a first time winner. I believe yeah, I was trying to think who the hell it was

Maybe my race pass got the wrong winner. No, I'm like, it's an article on dirt on dirt. So it's not to say it wasn't from
a while ago, but uh
Yeah, that's kind of weird 35 lap
Yeah, 35 lap. So this is 13. W. David Webb beat gilpin by 1.33. Are you sure you're not looking at fucking heat race or something?
No, unless there was a 22 car heat race
All right, and they ran 35 laps. Yeah

But yeah down 38 for a low. So yeah
I mean with board of outlaws, they're going to run it. Oh, yeah, as long as the weather's quiet

But it's springtime that changes. Yeah, two two outlaw shows this weekend. Ohio Mansfield opens up for the first time
7 million dollar
Facility. Oh, yeah, we should mention they hired a new race director there. Yeah

Yeah, that'll be a thin uh thin slim pickings. It will be
Um, but the weather and things who knows how to go because you also got 410 sprint cars racing
Sharon
Right down the road for board of outlaws. You got butler opening up like you said, they're 410s

Lucas oils in our region too circle city and Indianapolis on friday and florence on saturday. Yeah

at uh
Circle city and florence. Yeah, florence won't be real far from there
No, and I don't know what the rest of the purse is but you know iron man
10 000 win they might get a few of the yeah, maybe a few of the back lower or you know mid-pack guys are

About this episode
Weather and schedule chaos set the tone, with the hosts joking about skipping next week’s show before diving into a packed racing recap. Fremont’s season opener stole the spotlight: the track crew turned a soaked surface into a fast, smooth, high-speed show with close finishes in the 410s and 305s. They also covered Kokomo’s Grand Prix shift, Knoxville’s strong Outlaw fields, Lucas Oil late model action, and a heated debate over Port Royal’s suspension of a driver for cursing in victory lane.
This week we talk about Duane's second AFCS show which opened up the season at Fremont Speedway, then we talk about his trip to Kokomo on Sunday for the Grand Prix. We also talk about the huge car count for the The World of Outlaws race at Knoxville. We also talk about the Lucas Oil Late Model Series races out east and more!
