Chad Neylon, Matt Naulty and Richard Craill have each walked different roads to get to this point and have become good friends along the way.  They’ll share the lead calling role throughout the season.Why they are proper car (and bike) fans, the hard yards they’ve done across multiple forms of Motorsport, the grassroots and PA commentary that helped shape them and some of the impressive jobs they’ve done internationally too. From a shared love of ‘The Simpsons’ to the classic bike in the Neylon family plus the scars on Craillsy’s hands from working on his first car (he still owns it and won’t part with it) as well as the King of Story telling - why Naulty also has a forklift driver’s license. Much has been written and said about the sport’s big broadcast changes this year. This chat isn’t about reigniting that…..quite the opposite. The boys are all acutely aware of the magnitude of this job opportunity and very respectful of the legends who came before them. Why Rusty thought a shortcast would be long enough for this one we’ll never know. This is a ripper pub style convo between four Motorsport mates. Enjoy… Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's GarageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information."},"annotations":[{"startTime":96.8,"endTime":102.7,"type":"concept","title":"Western Sydney International Dragway","url":"/glossary/western-sydney-international-dragway","quote":"Bang on 20 years for Nolte and I, we started working 2006, Western Sydney International\nDragway.","canonicalId":"concept:western-sydney-international-dragway","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.95,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4.1-mini","data":{"explanation":"Western Sydney International Dragway is a well-known drag racing venue located in Sydney, Australia, hosting various drag racing events and competitions.","simplifiedExplanation":"Western Sydney International Dragway is a race track where cars race in a straight line to see who is fastest.
