A “slider” is when the race car is intentionally sliding a bit instead of gripping perfectly. On dirt, that can be the fastest way to keep control when the track is slick.
“Hot laps” are quick practice runs to see how the car feels on the track right now. On dirt, the surface can change fast, so teams use these laps to adjust.
Qualifying is the session where drivers try to set the best time so they can start in a better position for the main race. On dirt, the track can change, so it’s not always straightforward.
On dirt tracks, moisture (wetness) changes how sticky the surface is. If it’s wetter, the tires may not grip as well and the car can spin more easily.
Term
All-Star show
An “All-Star show” is a special race featuring the better-known or top drivers. It’s not always the same as a normal points race, and winning one is a bigger deal.
A “midget race” is a race for small, lightweight open-wheel cars. They’re built for short tracks, so the racing is usually intense and close.
Term
D2s
“D2s” is the name of a racing class or series. It’s basically a category of cars/drivers that compete together, and the host is saying that’s where the driver got his start.
Place
Lyma Land
“Lyma Land” is a place/track the host went to for the weekend races instead of the Fremont event.
A “B main” is a second-chance race. If you don’t qualify for the main race right away, you race in the B main to try to earn your way into the main event.
A “points fund” is prize money tied to standings. Instead of only paying for winning a single race, drivers earn points and the money gets split based on where they rank.
“Wayne County” is the event location that replaced the originally planned “atomic” show for Saturday. The host is describing how the weekend schedule shifted and that Wayne County had a $10,000-to-win purse.
“Takes rubber” is about how fast tires lay down grip on the track. If it happens too quickly, the surface can get weird or slippery in a way that makes racing harder.
“Follow leader” means the race turns into everyone chasing the car in front, with few real passes. The track conditions make it tough to get around people.
Person
Donny shot
Donny shot is a driver mentioned for his starting and finishing spots—third to third—in the main race.
The “dirt cup” is the main big race they’re talking about in this wrap-up. They also mention it used to be run with a different engine/class setup (a “360” format).
Smokey Mountain is a dirt-track venue in the Knoxville, Tennessee area that hosts late-model and other dirt-series races. It’s notable because track conditions and banking can strongly affect setup and tire wear.
“Outlaw Late Models” is a dirt-racing category/series that typically means more open rules than a strictly local “weekly” late-model class. The term often signals higher competition and larger purses, with cars prepared specifically for these events.
A “rain delay” is when officials pause racing because wet conditions make the track unsafe or unpredictable. On dirt, rain can drastically change traction and groove, so delays can force teams to adjust strategy and car setup.
Term
feature lap 31
A “feature” is the main event race in a dirt-series program, and “lap 31” pinpoints when the issue occurred during that main race. Lap-specific stoppages matter because track conditions evolve as cars lay down rubber and the surface dries.
Concept
Persistent rain washes out
“Persistent rain washes out” describes a situation where ongoing rainfall makes it impossible to safely run the event, leading to cancellation. In dirt racing, washed-out events can force reschedules and change which cars/teams can compete due to logistics.
Concept
master's built chassis
A “chassis” is the main frame of the race car. “Built chassis” usually means it’s specially made or heavily modified for racing, not just a stock car.
“Rear end” is the part of the car that sends power to the back wheels. In a race car, how it’s built and adjusted can change how well the car grips and accelerates.
Place
limo land
“Limo land” is the name of the race track they’re visiting. It’s where they watch different types of dirt cars race, and the track layout/conditions can change how easy it is to pass.
Non wing sprints are sprint cars that don’t have the big wing on top. That wing helps push the car into the track, so without it the car’s grip and handling depend more on tires and setup.
Multi groove racing means there are multiple “lanes” on the track where drivers can go fast. If only one line works well, it’s harder to pass because everyone ends up in the same groove.
USAC is a racing organization that runs and sanctions events. When you see USAC mentioned, it usually means the race is part of a bigger official dirt/open-wheel program.
The Dodge Charger is a car that’s designed to feel fast and strong, especially in versions with bigger engines. People often talk about Chargers because they’re popular to modify for more power or a different look. The name “Charger” is tied to that performance image.
Stock cars are race cars that look more like regular cars, but they’re built for racing. On dirt tracks they run as their own class with their own rules and winners.
Eric Kinley is mentioned as the driver who finished second in the modified race. The hosts are listing who did well on different dates of the event.
Term
UNH car
“UNH car” sounds like a shorthand label for a particular race entry the hosts are tracking. The exact meaning of “UNH” isn’t clear from this snippet alone.
A rubber-down track means cars have already laid down rubber on the dirt. That usually makes the track grip better and can change where the fastest line is.
Term
word of outlaws
The “World of Outlaws” is a famous dirt-racing series for sprint cars. When they say it’s running, they mean a big touring event is happening.
“IRA” sounds like the name of a racing series or organization. The host doesn’t explain what it stands for in this clip, but it’s being used like a specific tour name.
“Power Eye” is likely another racing series name. The clip doesn’t explain it, but it’s being treated like a specific tour that’s visiting different states.
The Subaru 360 is a very small older car made by Subaru. It was designed to be efficient and easy to drive because it’s compact. People bring it up because you can still find them around in some areas and they’re a recognizable part of classic kei-car history.
Place
Ottec at a raceway park
They’re naming the race venue where the Speedweek events are happening. On dirt tracks, the track itself changes how the cars have to be set up and driven.
“Attica” here refers to a dirt-track racing venue used as the Friday-night start of the Speedweek schedule. Track-specific factors like banking, grip level, and how the surface evolves over a race weekend can change who has the advantage.
“Fremont” is the next stop on the Speedweek schedule mentioned by the hosts. In dirt racing, moving between tracks (even within the same series) forces teams to adapt setups because each track has different traction and cornering demands.
“Crate late models” are late-model dirt cars that use a standardized, factory-style “crate” engine package. The goal is to reduce spending and keep competition closer by limiting how much teams can modify the powerplant.
Term
steel block
“Steel block” is a class/engine rule reference indicating the engine block material and/or configuration allowed for that race category. In dirt late-model rules, these engine constraints are used to control performance and spending.
Millstream is named as a venue hosting late-model racing on Friday. For dirt-track teams, the track’s surface and groove development over the weekend can strongly influence tire choice and car setup.
Butler Motor Speedway is mentioned as the Saturday destination for the USAC portion of the schedule. Speedway-to-speedway differences (track width, banking, and surface prep) can change how sprint cars are driven and set up.
Mansfield is referenced as hosting a two-day sprint car show during the same weekend. When multiple events overlap, teams and drivers may split their efforts, affecting car counts and who shows up for each race.
“Pavement” indicates racing on asphalt/concrete rather than dirt. For sprint and late-model teams, pavement requires different tire compounds, suspension settings, and braking/turn-in habits because grip and surface consistency differ.
Winchester Speedway is called out as a pavement track hosting a Saturday race. In dirt racing, “pavement” vs dirt is a major difference: traction, tire behavior, and car setup can be completely different.
Term
IRPs
“IRPs” is a shorthand for a dirt-racing series or event category. The hosts are saying those drivers are competing in that same kind of racing schedule right now.
Topic
B C 39
“B C 39” sounds like the name of a big upcoming race event. The hosts are talking about when it happens and how many entries they expect.
LIVE
Hello, everybody, what's going on, hope you're all doing well, had a good week of some racing
and some hit or miss weather. Hopefully you all got to see some races, but we are back
with another episode of the Dirt Nerds podcast. Dwayne's back, he's here. We're actually going
to try and have an interview today, but actually it's going to be pushed to next week, it sounds
like so. Sounds like next Monday. No fear, you won't have only us next week, hopefully
have a guest joining us via phone, so keep your eyes and ears open for that episode.
But yeah, we had some racing happen around the area. Lots of things going on. We'll get
into those quite a bit. But as always, we got sponsors to talk about. First, our friends.
First is our friends over there at propane.com. If you haven't already, head over to propane.com.
Learn more about what propane can do for you. It's good for all kinds of different things.
Cooks for brats. Cooks for your house. Cooks some brats. Cooks some steaks.
I cooked brats yesterday with it. There you go. For your house, you got your furnaces,
your boilers, your water heaters, fireplaces, clothes dryers, generators, propane grills,
like we said. All kinds of different uses for propane. Heat your underwear. Use it to burn
some weeds down if you get one of those flamethrower things. All kinds of fun stuff.
If you have a business, you can use it in the agriculture side of the world. We know
there's a lot of different uses there. Transportation for school bus fleets. Material handling like
forklifts and the like. Anyway, check out propane.com. It's clean, reliable, safe, and
affordable energy made right here in the good old US of A. But instead of listening to us talk
about it each and every week, head over to propane.com. Learn more about what propane can do
for you because as they say, propane is energy for everyone. Propane.com. I'd do a good one.
Yeah, you had to have a good one. It's a little special meaning now. Yeah. Hopefully our buddy
Rick's listening. We'll get into that here in a second. But our next sponsors are friends down
at the Whistle Stop Bar and Grill located in Ansonia, Ohio, just down the road from Eldora
Speedway. We know Tuesday. Unfortunately, I mean, you got rained out a little early. You
probably could have went to the Whistle Stop, had a drink or two, had some awesome pizza,
but you didn't. No, we'll forgive you this time. I had the Eldora Cheeseburger. Whistlebarandgrill.com
is the website. Head over there. You can check out their menu. They got awesome pizzas, awesome
burgers, awesome sandwiches, great dinners. I know they got chicken some nights. They do
specials. They got cold drinks. They got t-shirts. T-shirts that are affordable. I think it's
mediocre. It's the pull tabs in the owner. Yeah, that's right. They got some stuff going on. Looks
like they're beginning some of their renovations that they've been planning. So I got to reach out
to him and see when we think those are going to be done hopefully before the King's Royal,
but I don't know. We'll see. We can still go in them. That's right. Right in the middle of
renovation. We'll just go on the street next to the place. Who cares? But you can order online,
pick it up at the drive-up window if you'd like. You dine in, of course, and there's even DoorDash
available, even to Eldora Speedway. So if you're headed to the racetrack, you can have them bring
it right to you. It was Andrew's birthday this past week. Oh yeah. The big 4-0. That's right.
He's an old man. I forgot. That might have been, was that the night of Eldora? I don't know for
sure. It was real close to that. If not, I thought maybe I'd see him down there celebrating. So is
you how much we care? Yeah. If you're in the area, you head a little further south to downtown
Greenville. You can hit up the Shirt Shot Taphouse. They got 50 beverages on tap and self-poor
taps. They got 46 downstairs and a few of them upstairs in the Bullseye Game Lounge, but it
works out real nice. You get yourself a poor card. You go up to a tap. You're charged by the ounce of
whatever you pour. So it makes it real nice if you want to try some of those goofy beers just
an ounce at a time. Instead of committing to the whole pint, it works out real well. They also
have the Barrel Den. It's got some select bourbons and wines available. They have the Smart Bar. If
you're more of a mixed drink person, like we said, they got the Bullseye Game Lounge upstairs,
Fort Dougpin bowling lanes, 24 arcade games, and now they also have the Bunker in the basement with
some cornhole, some beer pong, I believe, set up, and some pool tables. So all kinds of fun
to be had at the Shirt Shot Taphouse. ShirtShotTapHouse.com is the website. You go over there,
check out the drink lineup, the Barrel Den, online order even, pick it up as well. All kinds of fun
stuff to be had. So check them out if you get a chance. Yes. All righty. Well, we recorded last
Monday. We did. And we had a couple Speed Week events get in, and obviously the week continued,
and Monday happened to be, sadly, one of the more eventful evenings. Yes. But not due to the races
necessarily. Well, I guess it was due to the races, but not because of any outcome of races.
If you didn't hear, unfortunately, three photographers got injured in an incident. A car
ended up going to the infield. Three photographers got hurt. One was released the same night. One
life-lighted, and the other went in an ambulance. They just couldn't get to life-lights is the
reason. Well, yeah, it sound like they was going to, but they decided the one dude that had leg
surgery and that didn't really need life-lighted. Unfortunately, one of our good fans and friends,
Rick was the one who needed life-lighted. Yes. So hence the comment about the propane.com being a
good one, because Rick has always given Dwayne shit about his propane.com jingle. So we, if you
haven't seen, there's updates going on with Rick. He's had a couple surgeries. He got it bad.
Yeah, I haven't heard from him today. I've got a hold of him about surgery. The other day, it was
like 67 hours, and then he got a hold of me afterwards. I messed him today and haven't heard,
so hopefully everything went well today. But yeah, leg pretty much shattered. It sounds like
he had a brain bleed. Just, yeah, as bad as it gets. It wasn't a pretty sight. But fortunately,
everyone, you know, for now, right now, hopefully stays that way, is on the upswing. Obviously,
Rick will have some, Rick and was Kyle the other one? Yeah, Kyle is the one that had leg surgery.
Yeah, it sounds like they both will have some recovery time needed. Yeah, Rick is going to be
a while, because he's still in the hospital, obviously, and he may probably need some more surgeries.
He wasn't sure. Yeah. You know, it was all, you know, see what this one does, see what that one
does. So hopefully today's went well, and he'll be on the men. I know if anybody follows him on
Snapchat or anything, he put the picture up. He sent me the picture, then I see it up on Snapchat,
you know, later. But yeah, it's got a long ways to go, but a single guy. So I know if you follow
him, a lot of people is asking about his pets and concern and dogs or his buddies. Yep,
says he's got, you know, everything, you know, that taken care of right now. But he's still in
Akron, Akron, Ohio, hospitals. So he lives just cross the line there. Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Yeah.
Yeah. So a little bit from home. And there is a GoFundMe started. If you search on Facebook,
type in Rick Rare, it'll pop up on many posts. So they did a lot of fundraising this past
the weekend that they're splitting with all the photographers. Yep. So they did a
pass the helmet the one night, or maybe a couple nights even, you know, that I'm actually,
I got, if you don't want to do, yeah, GoFundMe. Yeah, GoFundMe. I got a link. If you're interested,
I got a personal link that I'm going to send the donation to for him because he's helped me forever
with Hoserville, Ohio. And he's always helped me. I mean, since I've known him. So I'm going to
send him some stuff. So I got a, because I didn't want to do GoFundMe or, yeah, that or stuff,
because I want to make sure it goes to him. And not saying that it's not, you know what I'm saying,
no, no big GoFundMe fees or taxes. Yeah, or split because Rick's, you know, helped me.
Yeah. Yeah, Rick was like one of the first nice guys to me when I was doing pictures. I remember
Mansfield Speedway back in the day, the second iteration, third iteration, I don't know, one of
the iterations. I think it was the big sprint car race the second year they had it. And Rick was,
you know, walked down the infield with him, kind of like, Hey, man, I don't quite know how all this
shit works. And, you know, super, super nice to coach me. Listen to the podcast, obviously.
Super nice guy. I always kept in touch with him. You know, see him at the races, always say hi to
him. So I bought to give him a little special propane.com. That's right. The other day, just
make sure to tell him we're thinking of him because I know he had to fight pretty hard there
Monday night, Tuesday morning. So thankfully, everything came out on the good end. Yeah,
it was website sprintcarnews.com. If you didn't know, he has t shirts. Yep, they sell so he's
gonna need some help. He's gonna be off work for probably quite a while. And he works in the parts
deal stuff. So I don't know what type of insurance and that he has or what or yeah, you know, I'm sure
the racetrack's got some too. But I'm sure, you know, a long time, a long time supporter
sprint car racing. Oh, I've been doing it forever loves it. I mean, yeah, just I'll tell you what
he's one of those guys I looked at and said, I don't think I can. I'm a photographer, right? As much
as I like doing it. Guys like Rick are the kind that like they love this shit way more than I do.
You know, they'll sit in the infield roast all day. And they love every minute of it. And they
always go back. So Rick's Rick's definitely a cool guy and a special guy for the sport. So yeah,
he's helped me like, when he comes AFCS, like, dude, use any of my pictures you want, you know,
any of that stuff. I mean, he's always, oh yeah, all around anything I've done in racing. And he's
been right there helping me. So glad that he's going to, you know, sounds like make 100% recovery.
It's just going to take a while. So hopefully, hopefully everything goes there and get a little
funds raised for him so that he can keep maintaining life and the way, you know,
get stuff paid for and for sure. Keep on rolling. Yeah. So hopefully Rick's listening. He's in the
hospital. I'm sure he doesn't have much else to do. So I said somebody got him a phone charger
so he could watch some races on his phone. I saw that have a phone charger in that. So
I'm sure he'll listen to podcasts eventually. Yes, hopefully. So yeah, Saturday night or Monday
night that was unfortunately, but who won the race even? Yeah, that's right.
That I know not, you know, it kind of got taken away and I like Caleb Henry. Caleb Henry is a guy
that's been very cool to me since he's came on the scene in Ohio from California race with us.
They have CS, obviously he's an all-star regular now. I'll start champ last year.
And, but it's always, always, always talks to me, always thanks to me. He says, man,
I love running with the abscess and we're not running all stars and thanks to me. We helped
him out last year when he got life flighted out of the place and he's still, he's like, dude, what,
you know, he's one of the guys that helped me and I'm forever grateful. And I mean,
he means it's a very excitable guy, but he was upfront, blew a tire, had to go back.
And I think he restarted 21st or 22nd and was in third and turned three and four or turned
three the last lap and won the race. Put on a huge slider on Darren Knight and who else was
spinning? No. Yeah, I think it might have been Spithaler too, but one and he's, he's, you know,
excited jumping up and down in the car and that, but when he got out of the car, I mean,
and he's very excitable guy. He gets out of the car, he walks to the front and he's like,
I'm thinking of the people that got hurt. He goes, I'm, I'm, I mean, took all these
excitement and stuff and he's just, I thought was very professional and very, for somebody
gets as excited as he does and it's very emotional guy. I thought it was pretty cool. He's like,
we need to take time, think about these guys and such. And then, then he kind of got a little
jacked, but I don't know if you've seen it. Did you see during the one red him park beside
trade Jacobs? Did you see that video? I saw a little bit of it. Yeah. Where he's like, like,
I'm coming for you. I'm going like, Jaws right now. No, no, I'm Jaws right now, man.
I'm coming for you. That's been each Caleb. I mean, yeah, but yeah, Caleb Henry, which
yeah, overnight in Spidhaler. Yep. Yep. Which was the only all star guy to win all week.
Yeah, going ahead of happy speed week. Well, besides mother nature, who won on Tuesday,
right? Yeah. Besides the rainouts. Yeah, Henry is the only all star member to win a main. Yeah.
So Tuesday night went to outdoor. They got some hot laps and qualifying in for the rains came.
We're going to try to get it instilled and more rains came and that kind of tried. I mean,
they really did all they could. I mean, rain basically three times they got drove into and it's
like, okay, how long do we play this game? Because that the third rain, I mean, it was one of those
that it was going to take an hour and a half to get track ready. And you already drove moisture
into it a couple of times. So it's like, you know, how long do we play this game? Drive it in again,
and it rains again. Maybe it won't. We all knew rain was coming in by like midnight one o'clock.
So do you get ready at 9 30 and have another one like that pop up? So I mean, I think they made
right. So it sucks, but they had to. I won't wholeheartedly believe the mid right decision.
Yeah. And then Wednesday was a open date was there for a rain date if needed. Obviously,
Eldora didn't take it. Milstream was the other one that got rained out early in the week.
They didn't take it. So that stayed open and Thursday went over to Wainsfield.
Yeah, which was a spectacular race I got over there.
Pretty good crowd. A decent car count. The midget race was really good too. But
yeah, I mean, Wainsfield man, 410 Wingsprints and Wainsfield. I mean, there's just something
magical about it. And there's another magical race that really was. I mean, it's one of those.
I mean, there's battles all all throughout the night. Good racing, but the guy that was in
third place and turned two on the last lap won the race. Yeah, which, you know, they was running
and traveling. I give him credit because it was Chris Andrews. He led early, then he fell back
to fourth, but he never gave up on his line. He kept running the high line and see I think what
Bryce Bryce Lucius was in the lead. And what I mean, he had to move around because of being
in traffic, but some laps, he'd run low, some laps here on high and stuff like that. And Andrews
just kept in the high line, kept in the high line, kept in the high line. And last lap,
it's like the seas parted and the high line was right there and he just drove around everybody
and beat Bryce Lucius. Surprised everybody. I mean, surprised, shocked Bryce that he was on the
outside and beat him to a line by, I don't know, eight feet. Yeah. And then it wasn't Nate Dussell.
Yeah, Nate Dussell. Nate Dussell was right there on Bryce too. I mean, you thought Dussell
was going to get Bryce, but they was both running the low side and Andrews, like in his interview
said, he goes, I said, Chris, you got a ball up. You know, and I don't know if you did you see his
interview? Just, you know, we just keep coming back and one stop. I thought it was a great
interview. He kind of kind of teared up and he's like, you know, it's hard when you love a sport
more than it loves you back, you know, most nights and to keep coming back and doing it and putting
in all your time and effort. And because he's a guy that owns his own business and works several
hours, you know, last few years, he hasn't not had the years he's won. We know that. I know. I
think this is his first win in three years, two and a half, three years. I feel like it's been
at least two. I don't know if he's won in his own car. He won in Jay's car. I was going to say
last time I remember was in Jay's car too. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he's won in his own car,
to be honest. Maybe once. Yeah, maybe. I'm struggling to find it, but maybe. Yeah, maybe once.
I don't think he has. Yeah. But and it's been a long time since he won an All-Star show. Yeah.
So, yeah, that was an awesome one. And yeah, it was one of those great races. The Midget race
was good too. Zach Weigel and Luke Hall and Bryce Mastengale had a heck of a battle and
Zach Weigel ended up winning and he's paying the car. Like he said, he's a national Midget tour
driver for the second year in a row and he's like, it's fun to come home and race with the family
every once in a while because, you know, he started running D2s from Ohio. That's where his
success came from. Yeah, so he's two for two in D2s this year. Yeah. Yeah, it was a pretty good
race. Moved on to Fremont Friday night. Did you go to that one? No, I was at Lyma Land. That's
right. That's right. But yeah, another solid field and a familiar winner. There's a lot of carnage
from what I heard. Was there? That's what I heard. I didn't see much detail, but I saw the winner,
which kind of expected at some point. Well, you knew he was going to win one sometime during the
week. Yeah. Cap Henry got himself the win, which is 10 grand. They announced Thursday night at
Wingsfield that Gil construction bump the purse, make it 10 grand to win. That way the last two
races, 10 grand. So yeah, Cap got 10 K and took over the point lead for the week that night because
Danny Dietrich struggled. Yeah. Had to go through the B main. Yes. And Cap was down to fifth place I
saw to start the week. Yeah, Cap didn't have a real good start of the week. In points we're talking.
Because what points paid this year? Like 15 grand? I don't know. thought it was a
healthy points fund to win too, but it might have been. I don't remember seeing it and a lot of people
I talked to said they don't remember seeing it either, so I'm not sure. Gotcha. I don't know. And then
Saturday was originally slated for atomic like we talked last week and got switched to Wayne
County. So Wayne County had 10 grand to win. Yeah. Excuse me. Two shows for the weekend and
yeah, another humdinger we'll say at a Wayne County. It looked like they had huge crowd and
you know, they love the big sprint car races over there. So but is that Sabo got a second win of
the week? Yeah. 10,000 to win. First career all-star win on Saturday and a second one the next
Saturday. Yeah, a week apart. So and he, speaking of carnage, I know Friday. Well, he was leading
the points going into Thursday. Yeah. And Friday he actually tore a car up so bad and I think it was
the heat that he couldn't continue. I mean, Chassis was bent, snapped the whole nine yards, so they
had to get a second car out for Saturday and yeah, paid off. Friday night or Thursday night he got an
incident in the A-Main and ended his night which took the point lead away from me. So
you know, two bad nights or he would have been right up there in points. Yeah. So yeah, good
speed week. AFCS proud moment for the, for me, for those guys won five of the six nights and
AFCS guy took the title. So those are second, third, fourth, and sixth in our points. Took
A-Main wins and second our points took the title. So yeah, all legit AFCS guys. Some of them ran
every race with us since I've started it. So it's great because you know, sometimes when the
all-stars come in town, our guys seem to just have bad luck or slack a little bit or actually, I mean,
heck, DJ Fuchs was right up in the mix too at Wainsfield. You know, we had some guys running
well that's hadn't had some great year, had great start to the year so far. So yeah, very, very
awesome week for us flying to AFCS flag there because five of six. Yeah. It was, it was, I don't
know if odds the right term necessarily, but they had good car counts. But you know, in the past we'd
see some names show up coming in an hour. Danny came, some Australian dudes, but still a good car
car. Yeah, he had it while he left early. Yeah, he was, he was playing on a lot more on all week.
Then he got a call to race that guy for a book's car. He sits. Yeah, but then
Baguski. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When she jumped to start Saturday in his heat and I think they penalized
him to fifth place and then the first corner he ended up coming out on top driving how Scott drives.
A little, a little elbows up, we'll say, but just hard racing. Yeah. Yeah. You know, PPM there,
most of the week, Dietrich and Baguski. Yeah. Ryan Newton from Australia, a couple other Australians.
And there was a lot of other racing going on. Oh yeah. You know, Houston's had their buggy
counts. I mean, like I said, good car counts. Eldora was the smallest at 33 and I'm guessing
if the weather didn't look so shitty that they would have got more, but you had like
Cam Smith and Jacob Allen, Carrizo, Dora. And who else? There's somebody else came over.
Forget who else. Somebody else came over. Hank. Hank Davis. Was he there? Oh, he was
at some shows. I was just saying he was at some, I know. Yeah, he was at some shows.
Not all of them, but he was at a handful of them. So yeah, you had some guys
in and out, got a cold dunk in, Spit Haller was there. Yeah. So you had, you know,
Todd Gunn ran one or two. So you had some good local guys, some regional guys and some guys in
and out. So yeah, it was another speed week in the books, we'll say. And crowds were great
from what I've seen every night. And the racing, you know, last 23 years,
um, it's kind of been a lackluster week, you know, nothing really special. A lot of men,
the racing this year was spectacular. Crowds are great. Car counts are in the 40s. Yeah,
I wonder if that had to do with the weather because it wasn't blazing as hot like it normally is. So
yeah, I think El Dorro had been over 40s, but all all car counts are in the 40s. Yeah.
Like I said, good car counts just, you know, which obviously lots change with changing ownership and
you know, taking a year off or whatever, but you know, we had Larson in and out a few times and
yeah, I don't know what the points is. I had a lot of people ask me, I said, I,
that was a big mystery because everybody's like, well, I said, I don't know. I don't remember
ever seeing it, but I didn't go digging for it either. So yeah, but yeah, another speed week in
the books. We'll, uh, we'll see where it goes for next year. Um, word of outlaw sprint cars had their
biggest race of the year, biggest paying race, we'll say, uh, 300,000 to win up at Hew Sits.
150,000 to win the Flordinary. Yeah. Thursday night. I think just Thursday, wasn't it?
Was it Thursday? Because I thought it was Wednesday, set up Thursday, Friday, set up Saturday,
kind of thing. Yeah. So Thursday paid 150. Yeah. And, um, yeah. And who won Thursday?
Buddy Kofoid. That's right. Same guy that won Monday. He's, uh, what was he undefeated at
Hew Sits for one of the last six races or something they said. Yeah. Yeah. Won Wednesday, won Thursday.
Friday, uh, Sheldon won. Yep. Um, and then obviously the big one on Saturday where, uh,
you know, Dave gravel took car owners money pretty much started on the pole. Uh,
sound like it took rubber after about six laps. Yeah. I heard it got a little, a little
sketchy or a lot of people are like, like, it's funny that, uh, you know, like for a quarter mile
track, there's always been the knock on it is it takes rubber so quick and the first few nights
it didn't, you know, yeah, it was good all week. I mean, I only heard good things until Saturday.
Yeah. And it won all the monies online. Yeah. It's like the biggest money and then you make it where
it's, uh, not raceable. Basically it's follow leader. Yeah. Which Donny shot started third finish
third. Uh, Tyler Courtney went from eighth to second, you know, $50,000 for a second place finish
and $25,000 for a third place finish. Uh, and then obviously Dave gravel winning, uh, $300,000
five grand just to start. Is that two in a row for him at that? I thought buddy. Well, buddy one,
buddy 11 but I think David, David one. I thought buddy one last year for some reason
when it was 250. He might have, but, uh, I think he did. But yeah, I have a one something there
because I thought they said there was a second one. Gotcha. But yeah, gravel let off 40 laps
and, uh, yeah, 300 grand. So I didn't hear much anything. Well, it's kind of a odd thing because
Skagit had their big race up with the high limits. Well, it was technically. Yeah. Mark. Yeah.
Technically, Mark, but all the high limits guys went up there. Yeah. Um, so I was confused
because I was looking at high limit. I'm like, why is there no results on our pages? Well,
it technically wasn't them. So, but that was a hundred some thousand, 110, I think or a hundred.
Yeah. Something like that. Um, but Brad sweet one. I think the high limit 100,000 or 126 is in
Labor Day weekend. Yeah. I was going to say that was the big one dirt. Yeah. This one was
the dirt cup. Yeah. Um, which used to be a 360 race. Yeah. And, uh, anyway, just threw me off that
they're having their big race because a lot of guys, you know, went over there, but Brad sweet
got himself to one. Brent marks have another good run in second and Darren Pittman 69 K went all the
way out there. Yeah. Um, you know, Rico out there, Tanner, James McFadden, Aaron Reitzel. So which
they're on the west. Are they on the west coast coming up here? I think so.
Justin Peck was out there. Tanner Thorsen out there. So, um, but yeah, this is kind of an odd
guys. I don't think they're on the west coast till after Knoxville. Yeah. I can never remember
schedules, but, uh, yeah. So the schedule was, uh, their big race. So I, you know,
probably took away some cars a little bit, but, uh, yeah. I think a huge, Houston still had, uh,
some pretty good. Yeah. Cause they go to big sky Montana this next weekend. So
not west coast, but out west, we'll say. Yeah. That's pretty far away. Yes. Yes, it is. Pretty far away.
Um, Lucas oil late models were down in Kentucky at Smokey Mountain.
It's in Tennessee. Uh, kind of a cool winner. Mr. Dale McDowell, 30,000 to win,
I believe. Yeah. And Saturday, Friday night, it was, uh, Beeshep. Yeah. Beeshep won on Friday night.
Yeah. And as you see the, uh, Jonathan Davenport went out to Salina. Yeah. High banks and race for,
was a five grand and 10 grand and five and 12, five and 12. And the 12 actually turned into 16.
But, uh, you see what they wrote on the check the one night? Uh-huh. They wrote Cherry Picker
in the winners names area. So that's funny. Yeah. Oh yeah. I see he was catching a lot of shit for
Yeah. When you said game year, he's gonna hit some tracks. He hasn't. Yeah. Um, but word of
outlaw late models also in action. Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Uh, were they both in 141? Were they
both at 141? Yeah. Cause I think it got rained out the first night. If I believe I am correct.
I, cause Bobby Pierce won 25 grand the second night and went swimming. Yes. Cause that's their
tradition there. And they had a little bit of a rain delay, uh, during the feature lap 31. They
had to stop. I was thinking they raced on Friday night, but maybe not. I don't remember. Yeah.
I'm pretty sure they raced on Friday night. Let me see here. I'm looking at it. Yeah.
Persistent rain washes out. Okay. Word of outlaw. So 41 opener. I am not pretty sure. Oh,
was that Thursday? Was it three days there? I thought it was only two, but it might have been.
Yeah. Original scheduled two day program. Okay. But they got some qualifying in,
but, uh, maybe after that. I don't know. Um, I have scheduled. USAC went to Eastern Storm.
Yes. They is at the storm. Yeah. So their weekend, uh, extended weekend started out in
Grandview. Yep. On Tuesday. On Tuesday, where Kyle Cummins got the win, went over to Bridgeport,
New Jersey, where Briggs Danner got himself the win. Then to Potsville for big diamond out in
cold country. Mitchell Moles took that one and then repeated on Friday night at Williams Grove,
Saturday Port Royal. They started, but ended up getting rained out and Sunday ended up at
the action track. Yes. Tiny little thing. Coombs Town. Briggs Danner got the win there as well.
She's got the most laps. Everybody there. Cummins won the Eastern Storm championship.
Uh, I'm thinking note there is car count low. Yes. They have like 22, 23 most nights. Yeah,
21 for the first like two or three nights. And Ricky Lewis decided to quit cherry picking around
here and got the Eastern Storm and racing against those guys. And, uh, um, which yeah,
then I see, which made no sense. Port Royal, the biggest track that most people don't race at,
the highest car count 26 and Silver Crown race there that night too. Obviously everything
got rained out. Yeah. Only like 18 Silver Crown cars. Yeah. Then I don't know what the car count
was last night, but I didn't see it was the first all but one or two nights. Uh, then, you know,
enough field that they start 24 and then they have 24. Yeah. And then it's ironic because the
year you went out with Chad, oh yeah, they had 30 some cars. You were planning on those kind of
car counts and they had well over 30 every night. It seemed like 22 cars last night.
Yeah. So it's all but one show, the one that got rained out. Yeah. Bummer.
Um, other racing local stuff. Crystal Michigan had the Dan Soleil Memorial going on,
which was 11,000 to win. I had a invitational race Thursday night for guys who haven't won
features. Right. So I know our buddy, Devin Shields and his son, Braden made their way up there for
the weekend because Braden was in Thursday night's event. Sounds like Devin really loved the Thursday
night party at George. Yeah. For the rookies and stuff. He was a good party. It was a good party
for him for sure. Yeah. But yeah, went to Friday night, did prelim stuff and Saturday was the big
one for 11 grand to win. Eric Spangler and a master's built chassis took the win. Our buddy,
Devin, ended up second. Last lap pass. Pass, Brandon Thoroughby on the last lap and track
Robert up a little bit. So they, uh, they locked her down on Friday night. Yes. I was gonna say,
I couldn't remember Friday, but then I think he must have had an issue Saturday because he didn't
look like he finished. 11 cars finished the race total. Wow. But yeah,
our buddy Devin ended up second. So good deal. But congrats there, which better than last year.
Last year he was leading and went off track and then his end, then he backed her into the
wall and bent the chassis. So better than last year. You know, people talk about, okay, it's
11,000 to win. Is it 200 per second? No, Devin got seven grand. I mean, so yeah, excellent
pain race. The slave memorial has always been an excellent pain race and the family
does a lot of hard work. Yeah. Like they had bounce houses during the day and raffles and
they do a lot of hard work. They start fundraising for that. They'll start in about
next month. Yeah. They do all kinds of things throughout the year. There's lap money too,
I think. So they do all kinds of things, raise money. So it's not just for late models too,
like the guys are there. So they, they do some stuff for them and yeah. So it's, it's a cool event.
I mean, yeah, you used to pay 37,000 to win, but now 11,000 to win 7,000 per second.
And you, I don't know what it was to start, but I do not know, but
Crystal Michigan is a track that's kind of had an interesting reputation over the years when,
you know, growing up and now some new owners have had the last handful of years and trying
some big things and making it seems like it's been more successful the last few years. Yeah.
Hear a lot more about it improvements are trying to and I was impressed with it when I went up
there last year compared to what it used to be. I haven't been there since I was a kid,
so I definitely need to get back up there. It's pretty much basically the same place, but just
seems like to take care of the track better because of night eyes up there last year. It was
fast. As a matter of fact, they set a 360 track record, you know, and there's passing,
there's multiple groups of racing, which was a premium at one time. Yes. Yes. And like I said,
featured track rubbered up. So I know they've been fighting that on and off for some longer
rate, but they had 170 cars there. Yeah. Over the weekend, where they have, you know, a bunch
of classes and had good car counts across everything. So but yeah, got to give that one shot. Obviously,
Dan Soleil, we know his son, Josh, pretty well. And I'm in this area. Yeah. I'm a villa.
I'm sure he probably raised oak shade. Oh yeah. Years ago. I know he raised modified,
then he actually ran a sprint car for a little bit too. So his daughter, Leah,
is married to Brandon Thoroughby. So she's just kind of the backer of that logistics of everything
go through her usually. But yeah, like I said, that's cool because it's a whole day thing on
Saturday. They got, like I said, they had bounce houses. They were doing raffles, driver autograph
session, like just make it so it's a whole fun time for in a huge crowd. It looked like what I
saw. So yeah, Dan, I've seen him race. And as a matter of fact, his first sprint car he got,
I helped him put it together because they bought a sprint car says, Hey, we know,
you know about sprint cars. Come help us tell what the hell to do because we don't know jack
shit about it. Yeah. So I went out, they kept it outside of defiance there. They first got it,
got it from Bobby Clark went to old copper penny a few times to make the deal and got
you got it. So helped them, you know, Hey, here's how you put the rear end in here. So yeah.
Yeah, cool connections there. Yeah. So that was kind of the interesting one because the Barney
Oldfield was going on at Oakshade as well. 5k to win for 5k to win. So that was one our buddy
Devin's one before and you know, longtime Oakshade driver but had such a successful weekend last
year that didn't end up successful, we'll say and wanted to try crystal again, but still had
healthy car counts between both tracks and 33 at both, I think is about what it was. So
but Rusty Shlink got what seventh, I think. Yeah, so Barney Oldfield,
Dr. Oakshade. So shocking. Yeah. Not a surprising one for him. No, not at all. He knows the track,
we'll say. Yeah. But they had a few, you know, of course, the Iron Man guy or Iron Man guys, you
have Miles Cook, Colton Burdett, Rod Connelly, I think Seth Daniels. Seth Daniels. Yep. Yeah,
those guys down there. Yeah. And they they continue their racing this weekend at limo land
Friday. So that's a cool place to watch late models. If you haven't last year was the first year
they had late models back and how many years. So yeah, glad they're going back again. Yeah,
I think that's five grand to win too. Yep. Yes, it is. Um, limo land was my other note and that's
where you were Friday. That's where I was with the wave slash Wilson team. And with the GLS,
Great Lakes traditional sprint cars, 15 sprint cars, this kind of wonder, but there's a lot of
people run non wing sprints on Friday night. Yeah, Friday night. But yeah, then they had mods and
stocks. The non wing sprints ended up being a pretty decent a main. He races that track just
was not conducive to multi groove racing. And then they did some track work and it came around
and a guy that I've been saying he's fast and going to be winning some races soon in non wing car
Jacob Boxle got his first in the Matt Westfall 54. Yeah. National usac midpoint leader right now.
But Jacob Boxle took the win and we was over there and chatting up eight than they mean after
having struggling all night and having having just well those nights, but every time the track car
track it was in one piece and I went forward at the end of the night. So that's really all you got
hard charger. So that's all you can ask for and modified Graham Ron's or something like that.
What was his name? I believe one thing. Jordan Conover won the stockers stock cars. Yeah, I was
to say I was trying to think what the hell Ron's might have won somewhere else. I don't think he
might have been my pillar. Yeah, I think that was like failure. I forget who won the modified
that line. But that's from June 5th. So yeah, Conover. I've seen the part of the stock car race.
I didn't get to see much of the modified a main cause won the mods hall. Wait, that's from June
13. Oh, that's right. Eric Kinley, the second. Gotcha. That's a UNH car. Kenny. Yes. Kenny,
the second. The second. That's the US because number one. Yep. UNH car. Gotcha. Yes. Yeah,
because I know I didn't see much of it. I know Dylan Nussbaum had issues and had her
sideways in the fence in the heat race. Some of those guys. So I don't know.
A couple guys had some bad luck that night. Gotcha. Sprint cars. They all stayed upright and
didn't seem to any. It was a quick show. Shit. We was done. I think the whole program was done
by like 20 after nine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So when I was there for late models last year,
I think I was walking in my car of 920 or something. Yeah, I think that's about 920 because
we actually went in eight afterwards at Bear Barrel. Yeah. Right on. Yeah, I don't have any
other results to talk about. Is there anything I'm missing Dwayne? I'm sure there is. Well,
I guess we got summer nationals going on. Chris Simpson won at I'm sorry, Fager won first at
Wilmot and then Chris Simpson won at West Liberty. Fager. Then I think they had some rainouts.
They did. And then Fager won Friday night up at Farmer City and then Kate Dillard led at I won
at I 55. So that was a rubber down ring. Yeah, I heard that was a rubber down track. So
I know word of outlaws are Ogilvy tonight, I believe in Minnesota. So they're still going.
They are. I've seen somebody want to race. I can't think of wasn't page or one of those guys.
I forget there's like a $20,000 win race. Oh, who now want that? I had it in my mind at one
time in life. But yeah, I was in our area. Oh yeah, that was the other one. And guys say
quick healing to carbon girly. I've known the girly family forever. A carbon girly
broke a vertebrae or broke something in his back from a nasty crash up to I need six on Friday
night Friday night, which who now one Friday Saturday night, it was Brock Hallett. Yes,
Australian, which they had 34 cars at Butler.
How it I guess I didn't realize it sounds like it was that he said back to Australia because
into his USA tour. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I knew he, you know, he usually comes. Sometimes he comes
twice. He would come earlier in the year, then come later in the year. So I don't know, maybe
can only stay once this year. I'm not sure. So yeah, I was surprised because IRA was in town.
Then Power Eye was in Indiana. Well, there's at Lincoln Park and then Spring River, Illinois,
which they had, you know, high 20s and then IRA was in the 30s. So
yeah, I'm looking for who won I 96 Clinton Boyle's. That's right. That's right. Boyle's in the 51 car.
Yeah. And a lot of like Scotty Nightsville came over. Julian Paul. Now I have knee ouser.
So yeah, good mix of fields. Cars you don't normally get to see Travis Aaron's was also there. So
yeah, pretty good. Red Cross. Come over this way, you know, once a year and
didn't for a while. So Kudos for Michigan for bringing them over.
Seem like a successful to car. Well, yeah, I mean, with Ohio Sprint Speed Week going on,
I mean, to be in the 30s. Yeah, because they had to pull cars, you know, there's not a lot of
410s in Michigan, a lot of 360s. Yeah, four 10. So yeah, I thought it was very successful,
especially with Power Eye at Lincoln Park and Spring River, which I mean, you're like, oh,
that shouldn't affect them. But usually a lot of Power Eye guys race IRA, you know, so a very
healthy field of 410s in, you know, this part of the country over the weekend. For sure.
Yeah, I got nothing else. Butler won at Hartford Landon Butler was it?
Yes, they had non wingsprint cars up there on Friday night as well.
Yeah, right. Kind of interesting dynamic there with some of the guys that because was it glts
sanctioned at limelander was it just an unsanctioned. That was great glts. Yeah,
so like Steve Irmond was up at Hartford, which he normally runs glts. Well,
because because he's not in his own car. Okay, I was gonna say I saw he was in a different car.
Yeah. So but yeah, it was Landon Butler. Okay, the winner up at Hartford on Friday night.
Originally from Florida, I believe payment. Right. Gotcha. So yeah, yeah, that's right.
News wise, all I had was the photographer stuff, which we already talked about.
Is there any other news early break? Corbin Gurley. Yes, getting hurt in our area. Long time
flagman at Brian water Speedway Larry Stark passed away. Okay, I did see that name. I didn't I,
you know, was young when they closed. Yeah. So Buck Stark was his dad that ran it.
Larry was a head flagman for I don't know how many years up there smoking his cigarette and
shaking his flags. There you go. My kind of guy. But Larry passed away over the weekend as well.
Yeah. But this weekend coming up, you got yourself some races going on. Yeah, AFCS. If you want to
see the guys that dominate speed week, come on out to Ottec at a raceway park for 5000 to win
show. We're starting Friday night this week at Attica. Because Fremont don't have the four
10s. Gotcha. On Saturday, they got the crate late models or the steel block or steel block. I'm
sorry. Yeah. Valley series, which they're at Millstream on Friday with usack.
How's Friday? Yeah. No, you sex at Millstream and Ohio Valley late models are at
uh, Millstream and then Saturday the late models go to Fremont and usack goes to Butler motor
Speedway. Yeah. And then another kind of wrinkle in the whole mix is Mansfield's having a two day
Sprint car show. Fast and boss. Yeah. So, um, so yeah, yeah. It would be interesting to see what
happens with car counts this weekend. Yeah. We got 5000 to win. I know most of my guys sound like
they're racing Friday with us and going to go try to take the five grand from ball or from fast
on Saturday. Yeah. Um, yeah, a lot of other stuff. Uh, Winchester Speedway knows pavement.
Uh, and I was a payment race Saturday. People said payment nerd, payment nerd. Yeah.
Saturday. It was an awesome race up thing and goal. I'm telling you it's a track we've gave
shit to on here even though it's been hopefully maybe to open her eyes that she actually has
a good show up there. The place probably had the biggest crowd in 10 years and the biggest car count
an excellent race. Uh, even the flagman was running off his shoes. They didn't have a lineup runner.
So, uh, he's running up and down and getting lineups and lost his shoe down halfway downstairs.
It didn't stop him. I'm going to flag just kept going baby. But anyways, uh, Saturday or Sunday,
the Tom Bigelow classic, uh, the 500 sprint tours. I think it's the first time the non-wing
sprints have been to Winchester in quite a few years. Yeah. Um, and all the big hitters are
entered. Uh, Santos, uh, Swanson, Ryan Newman, uh, Donny Adams, Jr. Uh, Davey Hamilton, Jr.
Dakota Armstrong, Taylor Ferns. Uh, they got a bunch of them entered. So, uh,
you can do a three PDs this week. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize though,
Millstream was supposed to race this weekend. Yeah. And that's going to suck sprints and
pile Valley steel blocks. Yeah. Which it's funny because the steel blocks really aren't
sub par to supers by any means. Some of those guys have just as much in those as, uh, as the, uh,
you know, supers do. So, uh, they're definitely a quality program to watch if you, if you get a
chance. But then there's 5,000 to win supers up the road at limelands. So, yeah, interesting. Yeah.
And you got usack, uh, at Millstream and Butler and boss two days of Mansfield. Yeah.
Yeah. It'll be, uh, interesting weekend. And also our pavement midgets are at Plymouth. Gotcha.
With Ryan Newman, Sammy Swindell, Brooklyn Newman. I know all of them are racing
while they're IRPs. Got, uh, who's your 100? Yeah. Thursday night. Yeah. And the All Star
midget stewards racing too. Yeah. Tony Stewart's going to get behind the midget. It looked like
yeah. An IRP and yeah, there's a all kind of racing. Yeah. Yeah. It just gets the end of
June, man. And it's all popping right now. B C 39's next week. That's right. Tuesday and
Wednesday up the 43 or 44 entries. I said they figure there'll be about 60 reports over
at Rick Thornton, Jr. JJ Yaley.
Some of the names that are already entered in that right on our regulars. Yeah. Logan Julian.
Speaking of IRA and being up there, Logan Julian, I see season of rides. So
yeah, big week. Yeah. Big week across, uh, across the Midwest for some racing. So
you don't catch a one if you get a chance. Yes. We got the event with the trailer on Saturday.
So I won't be able to get anywhere Saturday. So you're not going to any races again this week?
I don't think so. I was maybe thinking, well, I was going to maybe go to Lima, but
I was going to go with my dad, but he's not going to be back in time from a work trip. So
I don't know if I'll go or not. Probably have some things to do. Somebody hold your hand.
Yes. 100%. I'm not doing it. I'm not your style. I was thinking about asking my wife,
but she'll probably say I don't need to go and we need to get stuff around for the trailer on
Saturday. So life of owning a business, people, unless you're doing, you just let everyone else
do it. It's right. Damn it. Yeah. Well, I pay people. Yeah. Well, I pay you. So
see where that's gotten me over the years. What? Where? Where's my stake? Hey, any cigars?
Feel free. Take some. I'll pay in cigars. Yeah. Actually, I'm going to buy some, I think, tonight.
Oh, nice. That's what I like to hear. I haven't
greased the palm of our announcer this year. I kind of forgot about that. Yeah.
He hasn't said anything, but you know, he's usually like, bring me some of those cigars. Yeah.
Yeah. We got to talk and see if he liked what you got. Oh, he did. Okay. I don't remember
what we gave him last time, but we'll get him squared away. We'll keep him happy for you.
Yeah. All right. Well, I got nothing else then. How about you? I can't think of a short episode
this week. Hopefully we'll have a guest next week. So yes, we'll make up for it. How about that?
Hopefully. All right. Well, thank you, everybody for tuning in. Thanks for catching another episode
of the Dirt Nerds podcast. We appreciate it each and every week. As always, tell your friends,
tell your family, let them know about Dirt Nerds podcast. That one's for you, Rick, if you're
listening. But yeah, thoughts with our photographer friends that are all recovering and obviously
Rick's the one we're closest with. So we're definitely thinking of him. And if you can afford
to, no obligation, but go find the GoFundMe or reach out however you like and see if you
can't help them out a little bit. Yeah. So until next time, stay dirty. Bye bye.
