RPM limit means the race rules cap how fast the engine can spin. If the engine goes past that number, it can be restricted or disqualified depending on the series rules.
“Power Eye” sounds like the tool or test officials use to check what the engine is doing. Here, it’s mentioned because it relates to whether the engine revved too high.
A disqualification is when race officials say someone broke a rule and they don’t get to keep their race result. It can also affect who ends up winning.
A lineup is the order cars start in. If someone gets penalized or disqualified, the starting order can change.

Term
fuel like temperatures
Fuel temperature can change how the engine runs. When it’s really hot, the fuel behaves differently, so it can affect performance and how consistent the car feels.
Attica is the area they’re driving through on the way to the track. They’re saying the weather flips there—so the race can go from bad conditions to clear skies (or get rained out).
Term
AFCS
AFCS is the name of the racing series they were running that day. It’s basically the organizer that sets the rules and class structure for the races.
“305s” is the name of a race class. It usually means the cars follow rules tied to a specific engine size, and they’re counting how many cars were in that group.
The pits are the area where race teams work on the cars between races. That’s where they fix problems and get the car ready to go back out.
Term
borrowing parts
Borrowing parts means one team lends another team a component so they can keep racing. It’s a practical way to deal with breakdowns when teams don’t have everything on hand.
A “spring car” is a dirt-track race car type—an open-wheel sprint car. It’s made for short oval races and is set up to handle different dirt track conditions.
Topic
Johnny Apple seed
They’re talking about a specific dirt-racing event called “Johnny Apple seed.” These events are where big-name drivers show up and compete.
A “late model show” is a dirt-racing event where late-model race cars compete. Late models are a different class than sprint cars, with their own rules and setup.

Lucas Oil late models are a type of dirt race car used in short-track racing. They race on dirt ovals and follow a specific set of rules for that class.
“Outlaw guys” refers to racers who compete outside a specific regular series or promoter’s standard schedule. In dirt racing, that often means they’re not committed to every event and may skip races based on weather or logistics.
A caution is when the race is slowed down because of something on track, like an accident. If there aren’t cautions, the leader can keep driving the same way without interruptions.
Term
pit pass money
Pit pass money is the cost or payout tied to getting into the pit area at a race. For smaller teams, that kind of event income can matter a lot.
Power steering helps you turn the wheel with less effort. If it fails, the car can feel much harder to steer, particularly during constant cornering.
Term
100 laps
A 100-lap race is a long run, so the car and tires have to last and the track can change as more cars run. That makes it harder to keep the same pace the whole time.
USAC is a racing organization in the U.S. that puts on different types of open-wheel races. “USAC show” just means a race event where one of their series is running.
Place
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is the venue where the hosts say the USAC event was scheduled to run over two days. In dirt/open-wheel circles, the track name matters because weather and track conditions can drastically change race outcomes.
David Gravel is another well-known race driver. The host is joking that the team is hoping people move on from the fact that Gravel drove that car before.
Term
dirt vision tracks
“Dirt Vision tracks” means tracks that are tied to DirtVision’s dirt-racing coverage. The hosts are saying those tracks don’t count for the same standings as other events.
Houston is another dirt-racing track location being discussed with Knoxville and Attica. They’re talking about whether results from those tracks count for the same standings.
High Limit Show is a big dirt sprint-car race event. The hosts are talking about which days they’ll be there and how it fits into the rest of the racing week.
Eldora Speedway is a famous dirt oval track in Ohio known for high-grip racing and big events. The hosts mention it in the context of Bill Baylock being “good at Eldora,” meaning his driving style tends to work well on that track.
Term
jokers wild

In racing, “cutting someone off” means another car moves into the space you were trying to use. You may have to slow down or adjust your line to avoid hitting them.
“Letting out the throttle” (or lifting) means reducing engine power immediately. In racecraft, that can be a reaction to traffic or a setup for braking/turn-in, and it can cost momentum—especially on the last lap when exits matter.
A wheelie is when the front wheels come up off the ground. In racing, it usually happens when the car hooks up and accelerates hard enough to lift the front.
Stock cars are race cars that look more like regular cars from the outside, but they’re modified for racing. Here, it’s referring to a dirt-track class he might enter.

What's going on? Another episode of the Dirt Nerds podcast this week. Hey, that's awesome.
You get to listen to me and Dwayne Babel on again. Yay. Yay. We got a big week coming
up. Oh, we had an interview last week. I know. We're good for a couple of years. We got
to babble a little bit. We're good for a couple of years now, right? Sure. We got a big week
coming up in Ohio. We got the big week leading up to the King's Royal coming up next week.
This week we got Summer Nationals around. So hopefully Mother Nature stays away. She
wasn't so kind to us last weekend. It's been a fun journey. Dwayne will get to the nitty-gritty
of all the fun he got to have in the rain this weekend. But before that, we got sponsors
to talk about. Our first is our friends over at propane.com. Guess what I used today for
dinner, Dwayne? Propane. That's right. Did you cook a steak? No. Blackstone was rolling.
We had some brat patties and some bratwurst as well. So we were eating good for dinner.
I knew you liked sausage. That's right. Only the best sausage for me, my friend. Sausage
King of Chicago, they call me. Get that reference? Yeah. Okay. What is it? What's it from? Sausage
King. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Anyway, our friends over at propane.com hit them up. Propane's
got all kinds of uses out there in the world today. If you haven't already, learn more about
what propane can do for you. You can use it today. Did you? What'd you do? Move some skids on my
forklift. There you go. See, you can use it for your business. I figured. I mean, not that much
figured because I mean, you look like we cook a lot. Let's face it. But yeah, it's good for your
business like your forklifts. You have a fleet of vehicles, school bus fleets are using propane
more and more. It's good for your home. Like we said, barbecue in on the grill or Blackstone,
in my case, I got a Blackstone, man. And I started using that thing and it is awesome. I kick
myself in the ass for not having one sooner, to be honest. But that was part of a go kart
sponsorship package. There you go. Nothing wrong with that. When you buy one off your friend,
you help fund the go kart program. That's true. So anyway, propane support and racing as it
already is. That's right. So propane.com. Check them out. It's clean, safe, reliable, and
affordable energy made, processed, whatever you want to say here in the good old US of A.
I did get to see some propane in unfortunate circumstance this morning, or actually just I
think it was at lunchtime. I saw a video of a nice propane tank floating out at Kelly's Island.
You say there's some I heard blown through the air too. Yeah, sure. Lots of rain in some areas
over this way and saw some propane tanks get unsettled, needless to say. Well, maybe you
could ride on top of them for safety, though. There you go. Float, right? Especially if you end
up in Lake Erie if you're on the island. Yeah, just hang on to it. So propane can help you in
more ways than one is the point there, everybody. Then after Lake Erie sharks bite you, you're okay
then too. That's right. 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. There you go, Rick.
That's right. Hanging in there today. He's one of our, I don't know if he had a down day, but he,
you know, some days rough sending home when you're not doing anything. I bet. Just in pain
probably too. So never fun. Sound like he didn't really say, but he just seemed a little down
today. So that one's for you, buddy. Hopefully hang in there. Needless to say, he's the biggest
propane.com fan we have for sure. 100%. So we got to make sure we got good ones for him.
We're missing that track, buddy. That's right. Our next is our friends down at the whistle stop
bar and grill just down the road from old El Dorah Speedway. If you haven't already,
hit up the whistle stop. Great food, great pizza, great burgers. They got hats for sale. They got
t-shirts for sale. Affordable t-shirts. Nice racing whistle stop shirts. You can't go wrong. I saw
Andrew posted today. They're going through the prep work, getting ready for all your race fans.
All the hours, how much? $22,000 worth of inventory brought in to make sure race fans are fed.
Based on double the... And let's say their hydration is, their thirst is quenched as well.
You got to be ready for that. So whistlebar and grill.com is the website. You can check them out
online, go to their menu, see what they got. You can order online even. Pick it up at the
drive-up window. They'll have door dash service available locally, including the El Dorah Speedway.
Some of the best pizza I know we're looking forward to getting back down there for the
Royal. We got the cigar trailer going down. You do? I didn't know that. Yep, for the Royal in the
world this year. So we'll be down there. But yeah, make sure you stop by the whistle stop.
Get yourself something delicious to eat. Yes, buy some cigars. Yeah. From Emerson's Cigar Lounge.
Yes, and get some pizza or food. Yeah. Elliott will be signing autographs. That's right. If you
want the dirtiest personality of Elliott. I usually try to have some stickers on hand too
to give away. So we've... Hey, I gave away some stickers here. Good. Yep. Oh, I was talking about
that. So we got... Try to have decals on hand. The only reason we don't is if I forget them.
I'll probably make an appearance down there sometime. There you go. Not sure.
One, because right now I plan on working every day and driving back and forth. But we'll see.
We'll see how that works. Of course. Well, I'm kind of stuck on Thursday and Friday. I've
happened to do that unless... Because I had a backup plan. My plan B didn't work. So I'm on plan C.
And right now I don't have a plan C. Yeah. Except for me doing it. In process. Yeah. So
but I'll try to make an appearance sometime down there. Maybe even if it's Saturday or no. Yeah.
Well, if you're in the area, you head a little further south downtown Greenville.
You can find yourself at the Sure Shot Taphouse as well. They got 50 adult beverages on tap.
They're all self-pored, charged by the ounce. Pretty cool setup. They get everything from your
traditional domestic beers like your Bud Lights, Yingling, Bush Light, Mick Ultras, local stuff,
IPAs, seasonal stuff, stout supporters, usually a couple ciders and a seltzer on hand.
Real fun way to enjoy a beverage. You get to try it. Hey, they got zombie dust on tap too.
So some three-foids. I know you're trying. I'd rather have three-foids as a locks.
There you go. But I'm gonna have to talk to Andrew about that. Like come on, let's get a good one
in there. We'll start hate texting him and see if we can't peer pressure him in. And I have to
say that because I got a care package coming from three-foids I've heard. Good. That was good beer.
The stuff you had me try. I like that. I really like that one now. Zombie dust. I'm not a big fan of.
But this. Well, they got ice red, white and berry for you too. Smirnoff. So there you go. I have a
feeling you'll be all over that one when you go down. But also, they have the barrel den,
which has whiskeys and wines. They have white claw for Brad Winkle because he's one of those
umbrella drink white claw guys. Pinky in the air kind of guy. I get it. But they got the barrel
den with some bourbons, whiskeys, and the wines on tap as well. So same card, gets you access to
both. Pretty cool setup. And you can go upstairs to the Bullseye Game Lounge. Enjoy 24 arcade games
for Duck Pin bowling lanes, all self-service on the kiosk or the basement. And if you go up there
before any of the Knights of the Kings Royale and play Duck Pin bowling with some friends that
meet you there, you may have more than one drink. Yes. You may have like 10. Yes. I don't know how
I remember that from last year, but I do remember that. I was like, Oh, I was going to have one
beer. Then we started playing Duck Pin bowling. Then, you know, like eight, 10 beers later,
you're like, I think I might have to go to the races to sober up.
If you head downstairs, the new bunker is on tap. They got pool, ping pong, beer pong, some corn
hole, other wall games, some big tic-tac-toe. I think they got big Jenga down there too. So
utilizing the space to have all kinds of services for you to enjoy at the Sure Shot
tab. I also got whistle stop pizza, a little different menu. So a little, you know, I'll
say, but lots of good stuff to be had at Sure Shot. So visit the website, sureshottaphouse.com
as well. Too bad you suck at beer pong, Elliot. We could take some people on.
How do you know? Hold on a sec. How do you know I suck at beer pong? I just know you do. I used to be
the shit at beer pong, not corn hole. I will kick someone's ass in corn hole. I played it
back in the day, but yeah. Let's say corn hole, a lot of people were always surprised and felt
like they got hustled over the years. When you go to the Yoder campsite, corn hole is very popular,
and me and my cousin Phil were known to mop the floor with everybody. So we'll see. We'll see.
Hey, I got access to the place all night, so I can do whatever I want. We should have a tournament
after the races. Andrew, don't need to listen. We have dirt nerds versus, I don't know, whatever
podcast. The Chaz. Yeah, maybe he can get one of his. There should be a cage fight or so. Yeah,
he should get one of his, you know, couch setters. Yeah. Some of his moochers like him that come in
there and we could beat them and they won't have any money to pay us. But yeah, let's say we beat
them. They'll still want some free beers from us or something. Yeah, so go visit our sponsors
if you get a chance. People, we appreciate it each and every week. Well, some racing did happen,
so I'm racing didn't happen this week. I did. I guess we'll start, I mean, Dwayne did all the
racing as we know. Well, I guess Elliott's not at home practicing corn hole probably. Yeah,
I wish. But yeah, races you forgot you went to even. Yeah, it's been so long. He's like,
oh, yeah, I didn't go there. Yeah, last Tuesday went to the first night of the BC 39 man and
I've talked about it and it's cool because some of our listeners from Iowa and different places
went to the BC 39 this year for at least one day because they said,
dude, you always talk about it. So we're checking it out and it is. I mean, that race,
the racing is so good. The heat races are great. That a main, I mean,
it's to me is like the chili bull just two days and, you know, I do it's usually one of the best
races a year this year. Didn't disappoint. So it was good. Yeah. 68 cars signed up 30 or 63
officially made the journey on Tuesday. Yeah, wasn't Friday, Saturday. Yeah, on Tuesday. Yeah,
problem is I didn't take a day off work. I drove back and forth every day and did the rest of the
weekend. So it was like, okay, where was I? Yeah, but yeah, a little hot, but thank God there was
a breeze. That was a, hey, that saved us. I bet for sure. Wasn't the best to drive the track
out a little bit, but it made it very racy. It really did. And a great race on
a Tuesday is one of those. It's kind of weird because the
there's rise, great race from second on back. Drake Edwards got a million and he,
he just seemed like he was a lot better. Well, then Drake Edwards won. Then we found out overnight
that Drake Edwards didn't win because there's an RPM limit and his was a limit was 8,700. His
cranked up the 9,000, which when they run Power Eye, it could be 9,000. They said Power Eye
set all their stuff for them and maybe Chase McDermott's like, Hey, I'm the team owner. It's
on me. I didn't recheck everything or tune it down. Yep. Something I, and so I thought it was a very
classy way to handle disqualification on both sides, right? Like, yeah, they're like, Hey,
you know, and then KTJ end up taking the win. But I know some people don't like KTJ because
they're like, Oh, he's, he's just truthful and he's funny. And, you know, and, you know, you get
people asking the same thing. So they're interviewing him. They did Victor Lane then
once they were like, Hey, have you ever won a race this way? He goes, Nope, never won a race
when I was sleeping. Never been sleeping when I've won a race, you know, and it was just,
sorry, it was funny, but I think he said KTJ ended up winning that, which the things all on
points, all the qualifiers on Wednesday was put. So then they had to redo all the lineups and all
that stuff. And Drake Edwards is still really, really fast on Wednesday, but a great race on
Wednesday, great battle. And at one time you thought, Oh, Grant's going to win. Then you thought,
well, you know, this guy's going to win. Oh, KTJ is going to win or this part. And here comes
Briggs Daner. Took the lead late and took the win. His first ever national midget win. Yeah.
Netting him $20,000 and $39. But yeah, great race. That event, man, I think it's just great.
And I'll say, how was the crowd? It was not like it usually is. Oh, yeah. It was,
it was decent. It was bigger on Wednesday, but I was probably only maybe a half full on Tuesday.
But I think, I think a lot of the walkup crowd probably didn't come out because it's so damn
hot. Yeah. Because the fuel like temperatures like 110 when hot laps started, you know,
but that breeze is very deceiving because it was like 97, 98 and I feel like it was like 110,
111, but that breeze, I was like, this can't be that hot. Yeah. If you go up and down the steps,
trust me, it's that hot when you go up and down the steps, but sitting there, the breeze saved
us. It really did. And that was nice. They opened it up where you could take the first night,
they sealed one sealed bottle of water in and then Wednesday is supposed to be a little hotter.
So like, Hey, you can take in, you know, as many sealed bottles of water you want. So it's cool.
They opened up and I didn't check on Wednesday because I got the memo too late to take bottled
water, but it's only 250 for a buck bottle. Yeah. I saw they were, they said we're going to charge
little for them. Yeah. But Wednesday, we had plenty of bottles of water with us. So I assume
it was the same, but I thought that was cool. They lowered the water price to just
because everything else was seven bucks a drink. So I figured the water was going to be two. But
250. What? Hello. Did you take any horsepower hydration with you?
I did not. I forgot to. I should have. No, 100%. I should have. I needed it Saturday
too. I forgot. I was like, dang, forgot about that. But yeah, 100%. Yeah. Speaking of horsepower
hydration, obviously kind of pseudo sponsor of the show will say, but my dad for his open house,
they do an August at work and it's, you wouldn't think it's much of a deal, but it's a big deal for
their company. Customers come from everywhere. They do a huge sale and these guys drive away
with $50,000 worth of equipment sometimes. Big deal, right? Vendors everywhere. It's a big time.
So he said they bought like three packs, three bags of horsepower hydration to have at their
open house. So is Hank Hill there? No, my dad pretty much is Hank Hill. So that's what you get.
Except for he just sells the propane accessories, not the propane anymore. He used to sell the
propane. Propane, propane accessories. Exactly. So but yeah, horsepower hydration is fueling
the propane industry even there you go. There you go. Hell yeah. But yeah, so yeah, BC 39,
another great race, eight years. Man, that is, it's just always turns out to be great racing and
yeah, then I had Thursday off. I caught up on sleep a little bit, but I had to get ready for
AFCS and get to Attica Raceway Park for Friday night. Had decent car counts and
is one of those gambles like damned. If you do damage, don't deal because it looked like weather
is going to come in later. Then we got lucky a skirt in the track and then when the wind
changed, it decided not to skirt the track was in the second heat race of the night and the wind
changed and as I say, the ship flew the wind blew and yeah, it kept up 60 some mile per hour winds
and it was blowing so far. It looked like using fog. I mean, yeah, dust was oh yeah,
but when the cars are still out on the track and I'm like, man, we can't go green. Yeah. And
they're like, yeah, we're proud to get them off track. I like, yeah, because people don't want to,
you know, get the ship back. Yeah. Before then it took it about 15, 20 minutes and then it started
pouring and you know, I actually got in some hail on the way home and stuff and we've seen what's
happening in that area. A lot of floods in that area right now. So thankfully it wasn't any worse.
I mean, I don't know if any damage when you start getting 60 some mile per hour winds and
hauler doors open and stuff like that. Yeah. People, you know, canopies up and stuff. I mean,
bad stuff can happen. So thankfully. Yeah. And it was kind of a bummer because it was their fan
appreciation night. So they said we're not going to do the open pits or go that to try to get the
races in started races a tad early and it was working for a while and then said I honestly
think if the wind didn't change directions because there's it was like there's a magical
Attica has the weirdest weather. Yeah. It was split. You could see it coming.
But all of a sudden you could just see it go on across, you know, missing the track. Mr.
I'm like, how it's splitting. And then like I said, as soon as that wind changes, like, well,
I know where this is going. I've seen this game before. Yeah. Because it's not a good result.
A track you may drive to rain the whole way there. But once you get over the hill,
coming into Attica, it's sunny, bright skies the rest of the night. It's the weirdest place.
Yeah. So so unfortunately got that rained out. And then Saturday I had a doubleheader with AFCS
Fremont Speedway light on the cars 23 305s 19 410s and they had 19 trucks and
they said, Hey, no B mains. You know, because you take 20 for the 305s and said no B mains and
they, you know, town fireworks are at 10 that night and Rich farmer actually had a ton of fireworks
for the racetrack. So Corey did a great job of running them through. I think the race is over
with my 20 after nine. Yeah. So Rich got to shoot off all their fireworks before the town did,
which I'm telling you, if our track fireworks, they did pretty damn good. It was give credit
to do. And I mean, it was a pretty good fireworks show for a racetrack. Yeah, for sure. And then
it was about 10 minutes after today is over or less. And then the towns kicked in. So
and it was cool because as we've said, you know, there's been a lot of talk, how do we get kids?
How do we get kids involved in this? And which we had both grandkids and Melissa had Bodie and I
had Asher because, you know, Shelby helps with series. So we took both kids. Asher was getting
free stuff, but, you know, he ain't quite in the autograph deal yet, but Bodie wanted to get
his flag autographed. And I mean, everybody, even the 410 drivers, a lot of them was still out,
some of them in their suits and stuff. Cause, you know, it's 930 and races are over. And
there was in as funny the couple of truck guys, because Bodie was big on getting truck driver
guys. Cause I like these, like these and the ones like, man, this is like third or fourth
autograph I signed tonight and I signed one for, for, for months. You know, so it shows you
if you can get the program done. And when they open up the pits that the guys will stay in that
I was impressed. I mean, in kudos to some of our three or five drivers like,
like Bodie got sticker from Steve Randall, Jim McGrath, see who else. I don't know if
I know Madden Merrill had stuff, you know, stickers and stuff. I mean, they actually had
stickers and stuff for kids when they come to them there. So it was neat. Bodie ended up with
hell of five or six stickers, I think, and stuff in a checkered flags and just all kind of things.
So I thought that was very cool. And right there is how you get kids. Yeah. That's how you kids.
Well, we were all kids at one time. Well, perfect scenario. You know, we was up to
Butler racing the weekend before with Chad and broke power steering pump, didn't have one and
went over to the car next to us, the 21 car of Ryan Barr. And his dad's like, Hey, take it,
use it. Don't bring it back just to bring it back tonight. And he come over and
he's like, right. Here's why. Uh, it's crazy. He goes, you're gonna wait till you guys are done.
I'll show you this full circle moment. He goes, you guys can always come get whatever you want
from us. Um, he showed us why. Cause, uh, back eight, 10 years ago when Chad was racing non-wing
and, uh, we was in the pit cell door one night, uh, he came up and got the kid in the car. And
that's why he was, you know, Hey, he wanted to start being a sprint car driver, you know, and
now it parked beside each other in the pits. Yeah. So borrowing parts. So it was, you know, and,
and that's, you know, that's how we get kids wanting to come back or get the future growing in
the sport. So, uh, yeah, kudos to the drivers for sticking around and, uh, leaning into it. And
like that, I was surprised how many had stickers in that. And you like said, fan appreciation,
some of them brought some of the fan appreciation stuff, um, was still in their trailer. So, um,
some of the kids lucked out that way too. It was a little extra than what it usually is. So,
but yeah, it was, uh, really, really cool. Yeah. Wow. I mean, we all remember years,
our younger years getting autographs from people. So, yeah. Well, I remember back, you know,
it was a few years before you was younger. You say back when they raced with their feet on the
ground. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back when there's no roll cage. No, not that old. Um, um,
like when I was a little kid, like at a villa, I remember you used to go down the racetrack and
you'd set, you know, they'd get 10, 12 kids on a car and take you a lap around the track just
real slow, like on the back deck or in the window, you know, the side window on that and
shit. You try that nowadays and the church companies would freak the hell out. Let's
do that. Yeah. Yeah. I remember, uh, chub Frank, I got an autograph from him and I was standing
next to his car. He was standing there. So I asked for an autograph and I can't remember
what he said. It's chub. So something smart ass probably grabs the corner of my shirt,
pins it to the car to sign, sign down the crowd. I'm like, oh, he's like, here, let me,
Oh, thanks, chub. Scott Boomquist. I remember hearing, you know, getting Scott's autograph
was, was hard. Now this was back in the 18 car before the zero car. So, um, but he was up
between his trailer and, and, uh, truck standing out there and there's a couple people. So I
walked up ahead of my 36 scale car or I'm sorry, 24 scale. Um, I remember we bought for $36,
which, you know, is a steal for a die cast. Right. And, uh, James Honeycott owns that car
now. Um, but, uh, yeah, just, you know, trembling kid. I only heard about this guy and super nice
friendly sign. No problem. So he was always super friendly with me every time. Yeah. I remember
Steve Kinzer's autograph. He's kind of got a grunt and, uh, yeah. Yeah. Me gave man. Me go fast.
Tell you someone who really scared me as a kid and I was one of my favorite
spring car drivers, Kenny Jacobs. Really? It was in the 94 Hughes car at the Johnny
Apple seed back when it was in the fall, when it was an all star and late model show on a Sunday
afternoon or Saturday afternoon when they did it in the fall and Kenny won that night. Right. And,
I think it was actually my 92, uh, who owned the Ashworth car and Dean and Kenny had both
driven it and I had one of those cause Kenny was my guy. So I had Dean and Kenny both sign it,
but I remember walking into Kenny's trailer and, uh, I don't know why, but he scared the
shit out of me as a kid. So, uh, and he just won. Like he didn't see him overly happy.
Well, that's the way when I, like I was a kid at Winchester, Steve Lockshaw was racing a midget
and I got to sit in it somehow after the race of my uncle that does a lot of photography. He took
picture, you know, I was a big kid even then, like tall and stuff. So it looked like in a,
he printed that picture. So I took to school and telling everybody, yeah, this car I raced.
I was like seven or eight. I remember a summer nationals race at Oakshade,
the finale back when it was a big deal, but, you know, Don O'Neill, Kevin Claycomb, Billy Drake,
Terry English, those guys would race summer nationals, Billy Moyer, you know, whatever
back in the day, Babster. And I went to get Don O'Neill's autograph and the night before,
I think they raced at 90s. No, it was back when they would race like in Illinois Friday,
have to drive all the way to Ohio. Um, it was before social media, you know,
mid American didn't come out yet. So I remember asking Don O'Neill when I got my autograph,
I said, Hey, how'd you do last night? And he looked at me and goes, we took the money.
Yeah. Was he's pen man? No, that was the Rayburn days. Those cars stayed pretty straight,
I think back in those days, but right. Yeah. Good times. Oh, yeah. Back when we're young,
for sure. Now we're old. Now if we ask for an autograph, we'll click fucking weirdos.
Well, yeah. Yeah, especially you with your helmet on. That's right.
Yeah, Lucas oil late models were in action in Ohio this weekend. Kind of.
They were. Yeah, they were. But Friday was Friday was that was kind of and we had talked
about it the week before that atomic was originally supposed to have that date.
Financial stuff got in the way. So it got a last second move to Mansfield with the new track and
you know, surface that looked way better to host them. What were they in the third heat,
I think? Yes, they got dumped on had to cancel the night. So but something like everything went
well to that point. I don't know if you you don't have dirt on dirt, but there's an article in
there with Rick Schwalley about that switch. And it was one of those where they always kind of got
the money up front. And then this time they kind of never got supposed to never got a payment from
yeah. And then I did you see atomics video about that? So he you know, the cornfield was talking
again. I'm sure it's everybody's fault but his. Well, just we got rid you know, I tried to be a
little nicer than Dwayne, but which is surprising. I know. He said, you know, for us to stay in business
for this year, we had to do that because more or less, he had to write $100,000 check ahead of time
and hopes you'd make the money back. Obviously, they know they're making it back there. You're
not going to make it on your blue collar collar. Yeah, I'm just I'm just saying what the cornfield
said, right? So the cornfield said, you know, we did that so we could race the rest of the year
because otherwise that was too much of a financial hit. Now whether the money was actually in the
bank, I don't speak to that. I do not know that answer. So you know, I think a bank is at the
point from what I knew the bank was right in the checks. Well, exactly. The bank probably has
stewardship over everything right now. So yes, who knows how that goes. But yeah. But regardless,
they went on to Saturday after a rain out. Yes. If you heard Devin Moran chirp a little bit at
the word of outlaw guys. Yes, some of them didn't show up. A few of them did not because well,
they saw the weather and we saw what happened Friday. So they kind of expected the same for
Saturday and yes, actually ended up not being the case. They got their show in but Max Blair from
15th to take the lead on lap 49. Yeah, two laps to go. And he was like five seconds back at one
time. Yeah, and reel them in without cautions really. So that's awesome. First, you know,
feature win with the Lucas oil not he won a prelim a few years ago or something. But as far as the
actual main event show that was 25k. Yeah, Lucas oil win and the track looked great too
from the videos I saw. Yeah, from icing the videos that did too. Yeah, so kudos to Max Blair. Good
for him. Yeah, one of those guys has been you know, he dominated everything in the northeast
there for a while and everyone said he needs to go national and you know, probably hasn't had the
results he's wanted nationally. But it's a grind. It takes a lot. It goes to show you how hard it
really is to jump ship and you know, go out with the big boys. It's cool that we got a win. Yeah,
which, you know, Davenport showed up Friday. Yes, rained out on Saturday. We're going home.
Tyler was another one. So yeah, which can't blame him. It takes a lot to pull the track and
spend pit pass money and all that stuff and then not get anything in return. Oh, yeah,
I mean, especially when you're not running the series, you're not getting tow money,
because you don't run with them. So yeah, I get it. But yeah,
Devin Moran had a little little jab in there. So that was always always fun. Devin Devin likes
to have some fun. So oh yeah, Summer Nationals was in action across a few different areas. Let me see.
Seawrite won at Highland on Saturday. Heken asked your buddy won. Yes. On
Frankie Friday, I think. Fager won. Tanner English finally got himself a win. He's been
running well. Just hasn't been able to able to pull one out. But he won the week. So he got
$10,000 checks for winning the week because he finished second on Monday or Tuesday night as well.
And he's leading the overall deal that this is the last week. Yes, it is. In our region.
But the last night was the Herald 100. Herald Review 100 at Macon
and B-Ship got himself a win. 10K, 100 laps, lost power steering with what,
23 laps to go or something? Something like that. And a little fifth mile boring couple
rough spots. He was hanging on. So I think Tanner's like, dude, he goes, I don't think I could have
done it because he's the man. Yeah, so Kudos to B-Ship for pulling that one off. Mike Marlar won
a mud lick for the 4B Forever 40, which is the Jackie Boggs race. That was 10 grand. Cameron
Marlar won at Big South Forks for 11,800 and Zach Dome won at 201, first win in two years.
And Skyler Marlar won the same night. All three brothers won the same night,
which they was talking about. Yeah, they said they were, I don't think it's ever happened.
I don't want to say they were getting their shit together, but yeah, you know, the other two have
been working at it. So probably fun to see. Well, Mike Marlar hasn't had the greatest of
years. No, he's been, he's been trying to find his way again. And they switched chassis again,
I think too, I saw. So which Delk owns them. So they always seem to change. But yeah, Zach Dome
though, first win in two years for 12,000 bucks. So good for him. Big one. 17 cars on hand for that.
Yeah, some of these car counts are been a little thin. Yeah, which it's kind of hard to, well,
especially that you had, you know, 201 in Kentucky, Mudlick in Kentucky, you know,
you had good races going on a few different places. So there's a lot of late miles. But
and hey, it's good for some of these drivers because they're getting good money. Yeah,
for sure. You know, yeah, I mean, the Jackie Boggs race that Mike won Mike Marlar one was,
you know, what 22 cars on hand. So yeah, it's how it goes sometimes other racing going on.
G LTS. Yes, we had to mention because a friend of our show friend of ours was there Saturday night,
Silver Bullet Speedway to watch old chocolate Chad finish second. So good run for him was
carbon haslet one. Yep. Friday night was rained out at Hartford. But Thursday night they got in,
they started the weekend off at Thursday night. Yeah. Merritt Merritt. That's what's
carbon haslet one. I don't know if you've seen who got second that night. I did not.
Brian Smith and his first race of the season. I saw he was up there. Yeah. And Chad Wilson ended
up third. So good team team run for the Wilson Widdick team that I'm part of. Yeah. A third and
second and Brian Smith. Good to see him back behind the wheels, had a lot of health issues,
fell down the steps this winter and had a lot of health issues and his first race back and got a
second. Yes. Up to Merritt. Like I said, our buddy Norm was up at Silver Bullet and he texted me,
picture of the sign of the track out front. And I said, Hey, I said, if you see the 6W,
that's Dwayne's buddy. And you'll see an app of Brian Ohio roll big on the side. So he had someone
to root for at least. That was good. Yeah. One of those guys that only goes to a race once every
few years. So cool. He said he pulled up beside carbon a few times that he says there just wasn't
anything to get around. Yeah. Haslet's good. Haslet's having a good year. Yeah, for sure.
Other race results that come to mind, Dwayne? Tyler Courtney won a Knoxville. Yes, I did see that.
You know, he's been struggled, busted a little bit since the beginning of the season. And
you know, everybody's like, has he lost a step? As you know, as a track set, but kind of a tune
up for the Nationals because there's a lot of big shots there. Hey, did you see Sammy Sondale
made Dwayne even? Well, I saw actually, I saw a post before we started recording. 50th. 50th
Knoxville. Well, they're practicing because they're driving for Xavier Doney because he's
been helping Xavier and his sister Natalie been kind of coaching them while they put a car together.
So he actually made it to me aiming out of 35, 36 cars. But then I said they're going to be
there practicing a little bit. But yeah, Tyler Courtney took the win. Did you see the wreck?
It was I think Jackie Anderson or one of them? I didn't saw the Kelby Watt. Or maybe it's
pretty gnarly. Yeah, luckily, there's fine. Yeah, or is another one I saw that was pretty gnarly
that a guy walked away and watching it, I was like, I wouldn't have thought everyone walked away,
but guy flipped and got tagged. Yeah, you know, cars at full speed kind of deal. So
yeah, I can't remember where that one was. But maybe one of the PA races as they got something,
got rained outside, chased each pretty much dominated that week. Yeah, but Macri got the
points championship. Yes, because Macri started winning a lot too. Yeah, Seelensgrove had to,
yeah, but I guess one thing we haven't really reported on is Macri's back. Yes,
winning too. But yeah, Seelensgrove had to cancel with weather and they were without power.
Port Royal the night before started had to rain out. Yeah, I saw Hagerstown had a good race
that looked like, which was kind of different to me because I know Hagerstown's had her missed
sometimes. Yes. Who won the Macri win at Williamsgrove, I believe, or was it Deets?
It was a photo finish. Yes, it was. Let me see here. I know they won majority of the races between
them. It was Macri at Williamsgrove for 20 grand the night before or Friday night. Sorry, I'm just
going back through the old Facebook here. Yeah, they had a pretty good week. Yeah. Yeah, between
those two, it seemed like it was the Macri Deets show for sure. So what about Chase Deets? Kind
of out of nowhere, it seems like. Yeah, he's been getting, you know, been doing good. He's been
hit or miss and run a while winning some races. But yeah, this year is a whole other level for
a car. Got the Macri stuff going on, you know, kind of same way Macri was for years. And yeah,
now he's a top dog over there. I don't know if you've seen Lucas Wolfe is going to be back starting.
Well, that's the other bit of news I have before, you know, after race result stuff was I saw Lucas
Wolfe will be back in the Trone Outdoor car. Yeah, which said they wasn't going to race anything but
the 5W and they had some financial deals where they wasn't getting out. So evidently, he changed
his mind. Yeah. So that will be fun to see. Lucas has always been a been a big and sometimes that
car comes out door and be cool. If it came to the King's Rock, I don't think they will. Yeah.
But especially since they haven't raced at all this year. Macri won Hagerstown too, by the way.
Otherwise, I don't have any more notes other than a big week coming up. Kyle Cummins won the
Friday night USAC show, supposed to be a two day show at Lincoln Park. And they got the opposite
end of what we got on Friday. They got part of the show in Saturday, then rained. And then
Silver Crown raced to Terre Haute yesterday. Mitchell Moles. Mitchell Moles in the Reinbold
car took the win. Bill Rose came out of the crew chief role to wheel one, finished sixth,
I think I saw. He did. And Darren Knight, maybe his Silver Crown debut, was doing good. And then
I think something broke on the car. Someone came off the track, hit the cushion, came down and
hit him. Well, or he avoided and ran over to the left rear at the guy in front of him and snapped
the right front, it said. So in the Aaron Pierce 26, he was racing. I had a good talk Saturday night
with one Casey Jeterzak. Oh, yeah, he was hanging out. J. J. Hennis is actually part of his family.
So he was there supporting J. J. Cousin. Yes, I actually had a really good talk.
He goes to the doctor Wednesday. Yes. Because he did end up with broken arm or what from the,
you know, after that one nasty crash at Hewson's. And he's hoping that he'll be able to have a cast
to drive with at Hartford, Michigan on Thursday. Yes. He's hoping that they can get like a brace
deal. But yeah, good talk with him. I told him, man, you know, been doing good. And he goes,
he goes, it's so just so tough. He goes, he goes, it's just so tough on the road. He says like
that. He says, you have ups. And you're like, all right, man, we got this the next night,
you get your ass kicked big time, you know, yeah. And he goes, it's everybody, you know, I'm dealing
with him. Yeah, we had a really, really good talk. So he's itching to get back for sure. And he's
and he's had a great thing to say, you know, he goes, man, Bill's such a good car owner to drive for.
Yeah, I mean, and you know, you got, you know, he's a race car driver, so he doesn't think the
same way. Maybe we think of knowing that cars may be a little, you know, underfunded. We talked
about that. Actually, he's done as good as well. And that's why I told him he goes,
everybody tells me, I said, you know, and we talked about that. And it was actually a really
good talk. And we should probably get him on sometime because we can't talk about that because
he and it was just a great perspective, especially somebody that young shows you how
race smart he is and how mature he is about it too. Because he goes, I really goes, you know,
we was just getting really, really good in this area. And he says, I would have loved to stay here
this year and seen what we could, you know, you know, because, you know, they had four wins.
Yeah. He goes, he goes, I think we could have really stacked the wins this year if we would have
stayed, you know, another year because he says, but he goes, he goes, nobody had told me what to
do. He says that opportunity came up and goes, I talked to a lot of people. He goes, nobody was
really saying anything. And he told me a driver that gave it. He goes, uh, he goes, guy gave him
and it's a great, great, great guy. I'm a guy from Ohio. It's been around forever. He goes,
he goes, he didn't really give me an answer because he says up me, but he goes,
I was young once and he goes, turned down a couple of opportunities. One of those wish I
would have done it. He goes, yeah, he goes, he says, I'm not saying I'm regretting it because
he says I eventually got there, but he says, if I would take that opportunity, I think I could
have got there a lot quicker, even though it might not been the best funded team. And, uh, and
that's what he talked about. Yeah. I said, you had to take it, man. He goes, yeah, he goes,
and that's kind of what I based my decision on. It's like, you know, he goes, I may never get
that opportunity again. He goes, you know, he goes, I started off racing, your guys is 305s.
You know, AFCS real fives and started racing four 10s and some three sixties and, you know,
stack some leaves together and I mean opportunities, bread opportunities. And yeah, and he goes,
but it was cool. Just him, you know, I said, yeah, I said, obviously I said it's paying off because
it said that car has been in the dash more this year than it has all the other years combined.
Yeah. And he has a podium finish. Yeah. You know, and, and nothing against bill,
you know, I mean, and, and bill tie too. They're underfunded. And so what you're doing with that
car is open up a lot of eyes because I said, I've had a lot of people across the United States
like who's this Casey Jenner's act from Ohio? You know, and I said, so you're, you're getting
not only the people in the industry, but the casual fan that only half ass pays attention
knows your name now because you're what you're, you know, because you're doing good in that car,
you know? Oh yeah. So, uh, which is good for bill too, because it brings a lot more attention
to bill, which brings more hopefully income into bill's team, more sponsor opportunities and stuff
to, uh, you know, do that. So yeah, we had an awesome talk about it. I mean, yeah, I saw they, uh,
had a black car out new car and everything because they, you know, had to rebuild some things and
well, so he said, he goes, I got to get back. He says, this is where I'm good at, you know,
Attigan Fremont, you know, and Fremont goes, you know, El Dora, he goes, we got to, he has got to
get, get rolling. So he's hoping that people forget David gravel was in that car one time.
Like it's, it's been a stepping stone for a few guys. So it's, it's not anything to shake a stick
at. So I told Casey, I said, dude, we're proud of you. I said, we truly are. And he goes,
because that's awesome. And he goes, I said, well, I'm sure you're young and it's hard when you
do a podium and then, you know, go, he goes, yeah, he says, that's the thing. He goes, and he goes,
it's not just, he goes, not the team or anything. That goes everybody in the outlaws. He goes,
traveling that deal. He says, it's so hard. He goes, cause you know, he goes, you look at everybody.
He goes, there's people that struggle each night. He goes, you're just, it's so up and down. He says
that it's a third one night, 14th the next. Yeah. He goes, it just, he goes, it's hard. He goes,
that's the biggest adjustment is just hard. You know, cause as we said, it's a mental game
a lot too. And he goes, this is hard to keep, keep, you know, like, okay, we can do this to you.
You know, you do good for two or three nights and you might do terrible for two or three nights.
And you're just like, oh, what happened? Yeah. But that's the way it is. But yeah. Yeah. So
it's cool catching up with him and a great kid and man, I, I would love to see him
pop off a win. Yeah. I told him, I said, I think you can. I said, right situation, right track.
I mean, you obviously are fast enough. You know, so. Yeah, you put a night together. You got a
shot. Yeah. I mean, he's had a couple of shots. A few things as it fell his way. Like I said,
he's got a podium. Yeah. You know, so and but yeah, it was cool. And hopefully he'll get the proper
brace on Wednesday that he can start racing the Hartford on. Yeah. Is he, I mean, I don't know
if he said, but high limits is coming to Fremont. Is he able to race that or not? I don't know if he
is or not for sure. I know he's playing obviously Attica because it's outlaws. Yeah. Kings Royal.
He didn't really say. Gotcha. Kind of maybe alluded to maybe, but I don't know because
Bill don't usually run too many non outlaw shows. But I think that'd be a great one for him because
Casey's very good at Fremont. Yeah. We've seen what Cole did last year. And my guess is Cole
probably back. Yeah, I would say. I would think. Yeah. Do we know does that matter if it's your,
I mean, because Cole raced in a different car? It doesn't matter what car. So you only get four
regardless. Yeah. No, Cole was in the two car. Wayne Johnson car when he won the High Limit
Show last year. Yeah. Earlier this year though, when he came back and missed his car. I think it's
don't count is Knoxville, Houston. And I think Attica maybe don't count no. Oh, because they're
dirt vision tracks. Yeah. Gotcha. But I know Knoxville and Houston don't count. Yeah. I don't
know if they had to use one for Attica. Mm hmm. Yeah. That was my last tidbit on here is
Dwayne won't be here Monday. We know that. I'll be at High Limit Show. We got a big week.
Obviously this week we got some nationals wrapping up. But the week after we got
High Limits, Brad Doty's and the King's Royal going on. Yeah, this week's summer national
starting tomorrow down to the milkmans. Yep. Montpelier, which I plan on being there. Then it
goes to I-96, Butler, Crystal, Crystal, then Oak Shade, then Wayne County. Yes, that's right.
There is Sunday. So I don't know about I-96. I like to, you know, in the world of sprint cars
or Hartford, Michigan, same night as Butler. And I'd really like to go there, but just
work-wise and all that stuff. I took off early a lot last week. And next week I'm going to be
taking off work. So I'll probably end up at Butler, but right now the weather looks terrible
for both places on Thursday. So we got a big sprint car week the following week. Yes. If you
won't be here to talk about it because we'll be racing already. So what do you think? We got
high limits. We got Doty and we got Monday at King's Royal. Then Doty, Tuesday at Attica. Then
yeah, high limits two days at, or ones at Joke Roads Wild or whatever, Wednesday and Thursday,
then King's Royal Friday and Saturday. Yeah. So who wins the King's Royal? Last year we had what
Macri for 200 grand. Was that last year? Or was that Tim's like, wait, who the hell won?
Tim's won in Knoxville. I can't remember. Tim's won in Knoxville. Yeah, pretty sure it was Macri
last year. Tim's won in Knoxville. Who is going to win? I guess, do you think it's a word about
all regular or do you think it's, you know, under the radar kind of guy? We'll see. I mean, it's hard,
but I'll door because I haven't been there a lot. Yeah. You know, and
you know, gravel is so good there. Brad Sweet used to be good, but I don't think him,
him not being in a car as much. I don't think, I think that's going to, I don't know if Larsen's
showing up. Yeah. I haven't heard either. I haven't heard. I think Rico's going to win. Yeah, he's been,
he's been tough this year. I think Rico's going to win. That'd be cool. I do. I'd like to see that.
I think Rico's going to win. But you know, we had Casey Jeter, Jack and the 11 end on the poll last
year. Well, we know that format is helpful as well. So, you know, I mean, each year it's open for
maybe an underdog coming out. You know who I'd really love to see win it because he's good at
Eldora. A lot of times he's had a shit year personally and on the track and he's starting to
get, it looks like he's getting a little mojo back is Bill Baylock. Oh yeah. I mean, he's had some
good runs down there. Yes. I'd love to see a guy like that. I also saw his axe will go flying one
year. Yes. It's kind of a, yes. It's a love hate place for some people. I would love to see Bill
Baylock win it. But you know, I mean, I think that's another track. Cole Macedo has been doing
pretty good at too. And so, you know, but I don't know, it's hard to beat Rico and gravel with
those deals. And something tells me Rico's going to pull out, but it's starting to be that way.
The format, that's why I love the format for the Kings Royal. You know, and we got the jokers
wild on Thursday too. So, it's possible you could have a couple of different winners or it could
be like when Mark's swept them both. You know, I mean, I think Rico has got a good shot of that.
Yeah. But I'd love to see four different winners. So, actually I'd love to see six different winners
because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I'd love to see six different
winners. You know, and it's possible. And this, I mean. Yeah, especially with the high limit mix
versus regulars, you know, at Attica or I'm sorry, at Fremont Monday, then the word of
outlaw. We need our local guys to step up this week and not overthink it. Our guys are great.
And then it seems like they overthink it one time comes. Yeah. And it's funny because years ago,
it was always locals. Yeah. We're good and stout and had a shot. And the last few years,
it's been a word of outlaw. You know, adding in Fremont's both off this weekend and a lot of
guys are preparing and you know, I mean. Yeah. I guess we didn't want to put much pressure on
Cap necessarily, but we should have gave him some shit and said, Hey, man, you need to get your
ass up there and get a win, right? Yeah. I think Cap obviously caps the one. Obviously it's not
because he's trying, right? All these years. He just needed us to say something. You're right.
Exactly. I mean, Caleb Henry is not really local, but he is. Yeah, type thing. I think he could give
him a run. I think Craig Mintz on the right situation could DJ starting to get his stuff
together. Chris Andrews has been fast. But I mean, and I'm gonna throw a name out here.
And we've seen magical things happen before at the Doty, you know, like Mark Keegan went in.
Yeah. Tell you guys been fast all years, been in the top five all year.
And has been there as a TJ Michael. Yeah, he's been tough this year. Yeah. TJ Michael has been
top five just about every single race. You know, he's consistent. Well, he's had the
point lead for AFCS, fell a little behind. He's still only 28 points. That's what sucks.
Cap gets second and he gets fifth and he still loses points around the top five every.
They just show you how tough it is right now. But TJ is another one of those that could do
a little magical stuff, which I'd be cool to. I don't know if we talked about the winners at
Fremont Saturday. We talked about everything else. We did. No, Caleb Henry. Yeah. Took the win.
We didn't talk about the winners to say. No, Caleb Henry took the win. A dominating fashion
started on the pole and just cap got up there a few times, but not not even remotely close.
Then the three or five was a banger. Jamie Miller last lap past last lap last corner with a little
bit of contact. Yes, but it was undefeated. And, you know, I don't think it was a malicious intent
like I'm going to crash the beetle type thing because they split in the lap car and
cut Miller off the lap before because Miller had a great run. Lap car cut him off. So last lap
Miller's just going, you know, balls deep on the bottom and he's, he's driving hard to try to move
the lap car for one kind of deal. Well, and I think the lap car may, I don't know, but it looked
like to me like the lap car might have hit the brakes or let out a throttle right away. So
Jamie had all that momentum and he got into Sabito's front end and Sabito jumped his tire
right rear and popped a wheelie and, but he never let off either. Brushed the wall a little bit and
made it a very, very exciting finish with Jamie Miller taking the win and then trucks.
What can you say? Mr. Fremont Speedway. 93rd win. Sean Valenny. Yes. And 93 wins is not just
trucks either. No, put that out there. No, because he's running sprint cars every night too because
he ended up getting our lucky 305, one of the lucky finishing positions. Yeah. So, and we had a good
talk with him and the talk is one of the guys, Boody went and got his autograph and we just,
Sean's just a nice guy. Yeah, for sure. He's skinny now too. He is. I don't like it. I was going to
ask him how he did it because yeah, yeah, it's cool. Yeah. And Sean will race anything and so I
was like, dude, without Attica and Fremont running, he's got 305 and that truck and
you know, he's been known to run some stock cars at Lyman, Eldor and places. So,
don't know if he's going to run a stock car at Lyman this week. You may see him at a freaking
backyard go kart race too. You never know with Sean. He's everywhere. So, yeah, very cool. That's
kind of drivers we like seeing. He's won in anything. You know, he's won. Yeah. He's damn near
winning everything. Yeah. So, yeah, I guess that's all I got. What else you got? Anything?
I think that's it. I believe right on. Sure. I'm forgetting something. Yeah.
Our people let us know. I'm sure. We're perfect usually. This will be our first time we forgot
something. I'm sure. So, you know, he might listen again since we had interviews this Matt
Swander's birthday today. Oh, happy birthday, Matt. Yeah. Right on. That's always been a big
supporter of ours. 29 years old. I think it is. 29. He might have broke 30. Oh, you think?
Oh, hey, maybe he can run a greater. He's running the flags. Hey now. Hey now.
Inside joke. Sorry, everybody. Oh, man. Well, I guess that'll do it for us then.
Cool to wrap this one, Dwayne. Yep. Sounds great to me. All right. I don't know if we're
going to have an episode next week. I might try to work something out with Dwayne's absence,
but we'll see if I can pull it off or not. How about that? Yeah. Sound good? I can do a live
report, you know, from Fremont. Yeah. I'm trying to do live. We've done that before. Yeah. Kind of.
Usually it's on the way to the race and get Chad talking in the back and yeah. Yeah,
my buddy was up at Silver Bullet and I said, look for the 6W. I said, his name's Chad Wilson.
He's a, you know, knows you pretty well too. So I was in the app of Brian. He shopped there for
years when he lived this way. And but I said, so you know, we call him chocolate Chad. I said,
because he's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. It's funny. Chad
was explaining that up the butler. Somebody's like, well, they call me chocolate because
I'm like Forrest Gump when it comes out. You never know what you're going to get.
So yeah, it's like, whenever you talk about him, you got to put that out there so everyone knows
what's up. He's been, he's been doing good. He's been five races, a second, a third, two eighths,
and a night we don't want to talk about. Say, once you're not his crew chief, he seems to go
figure. Shit doesn't break. It's weird. I don't know. I don't know how that works.
Saw the karma from giving you shit. Yeah.
Big ol' karma train ran my ass right over. I don't know if you saw it. Oakshade Saturday. I
was there to touch the car, but Devin decided to try to move some debris out of the track and
got himself a flat tire. It looked like a lot of people tried moving debris out of the track. I
seen pictures. I know Bob Marr had a picture. Yeah. There's like four or five guys that I don't
know how many cars can hit a header on the track and you don't see it. Yeah. Well, lights not very
good. That's probably why I resend. I have been there. Say, when you put up utility, you know,
lights, what are they called? The racers put coon dogs. Yeah. When you put lead lights up on
telephone poles, it's really not the greatest way to light a track. But yeah, Colin Shipley
got to win over at Oakshade Saturday. So that's Colin. Her buddy Brad Einauer took the super stock
win. Right on. Yeah. Well, that'll do it for us. Thank you, everybody, for listening. Thank you
for tuning in. We appreciate each and every week, as always. We'll see you. Do I have a lot of
talk about next time we see him anyhow. So we'll get all that in. But yeah, as always,
thanks for listening. We appreciate it. I guess until next time, stay dirty. Bye bye.
About this episode
The Dirt Nerds wrap up BC39 and set the stage for the King’s Royal week in Ohio, with plenty of sponsor talk and race-week planning. They discuss propane.com’s role in home and business (including racing and even a funny floating-tank sighting), plus local stops like Whistle Stop Bar & Grill and Sure Shot Taphouse for food, drinks, and games. Racing highlights include BC39’s strong Tuesday turnout, a fast, racy track, and a controversial finish involving an RPM limit that led to a disqualification and a win shift to KTJ.
