Podcasts about Drag racing

This week's Question of the Week comes from Robert, who asks: How do you game plan when you don't know who you're racing? Joining us to break it down is Kris Whitfield, guest instructor from ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE, sharing insight on preparation, mindset, and strategy when the matchup is unknown.  If you've got a topic you want us to tackle, submit it at thisisbracketracing.com/ask. With insights from the TIBR and ELITE brain trust, this episode starts a series of Q&A discussions built around the questions racers are asking right now.

Doug & Matt Q&A: Scam Warnings, Private Placements, Gold Outlook, Business Advice, and Living Abroad Doug and Matt warn subscribers about scammers impersonating them on Substack to pitch a mentorship program with urgent funding deadlines, stressing they will never solicit business opportunities and that their only related activity is sharing private placement ideas with VIP members. They discuss strong recent performance in small mining stocks, arguing the sector remains tiny, illiquid, and largely unowned by the public and fund managers, and explain why they favor private placements for discounts and warrants, citing a VIP deal in Midnight Sun copper explorer bought at $0.22 with a $0.30 warrant and later trading above $1.35. They answer questions on starting or buying businesses by focusing on solving niche problems and avoiding "influencer" strategies, remain bullish on gold and related stocks, discuss English-speaking relocation options and Chile's livability, share stories about reckless youthful speeding, touch on glyphosate concerns, and speculate about potential U.S. action against Iran. 00:00 Scam Alert Mentorship Messages 01:18 Mining Stocks Bull Market Thesis 03:16 Private Placements VIP Strategy 05:17 Starting Businesses Finding a Niche 07:11 Influencer Culture Reality Check 11:04 Reinvesting Profits Trend Following 11:51 Second Residency English Options 14:43 Corvette Chase Jail Story 17:27 Muscle Cars and Drag Racing 20:16 Gold Price Overextension Debate 23:21 Living in Chile Pros and Cons 26:12 Glyphosate and Organic Food 28:06 Holding Cash in Treasuries 28:44 Buying a Business Owner Financing 30:33 Iran War Talk and Wrap Up

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into the chaotic pulse of current events, from national political antics to local Mississippi drama. Kicking off with reflections on living in "interesting times," Clay tackles the ongoing war against cancel culture and spotlights tough conversations about Jackson's challenges, including systemic corruption and the fight for America's soul.   A major focus is Jackson State University's push for a new football stadium, with a $40 million ask from the state. Clay breaks down the debate: why JSU fans and alumni report zero donations to athletics despite high-profile seasons, comparisons to self-funded projects at Mississippi State and Ole Miss, and the case for an on-campus venue to enhance the student experience. He questions taxpayer funding without community commitment, suggesting fundraisers and master plans as alternatives.   Shifting gears, Clay discusses a proposed bill by Rep. Shonda Yates to allow law enforcement to seize vehicles involved in street drag racing. As a former street racer himself, he shares personal stories but supports cracking down on organized, dangerous events—like tube-chassis cars flipping on Medgar Evers—while emphasizing the need to protect casual car enthusiasts from overreach.   Breaking news hits mid-show: Don Lemon's arrest under the FACE Act for a church protest in Minnesota, sparking talk of "consequence culture" replacing cancel culture. Clay praises everyday black communities for steering clear of white liberal protests, avoiding manipulation, and features a caller highlighting the "paradox" black Americans face in politics—trapped between party loyalty and issues like immigration draining resources.   The episode wraps with an overnight shooting at a Jackson nightclub and a deep dive with Rep. Fred Shanks on the drag racing bill and PBM reform to protect independent pharmacies from big-chain monopolies, ensuring transparency and community access to affordable meds.   Unfiltered, no-holds-barred talk on politics, local accountability, and cultural shifts—strap in for raw insights and bold takes.

In this powerhouse segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards sits down with State Rep. Fred Shanks for a no-holds-barred chat on hot Mississippi and national issues. They kick off with the "Kraken" finally unleashing in Fulton County—six years after 2020—with DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard on the ground auditing ballots amid desperate reactions from election officials that scream guilt. Clay and Fred speculate on potential foreign ties (Venezuela? China?) and celebrate the momentum, even floating a bold "Trump 2028" reclaim.   Shifting to local streets, they break down Rep. Shonda Yates' bill to seize vehicles in drag racing busts. As fellow reformed South Jackson car guys, they support hitting organized chaos—like trailer queens flipping on Medgar Evers—while protecting casual enthusiasts from overreach. No more shutting down city blocks for high-stakes bets; it's time for real teeth in enforcement, inspired by JPD and Capitol PD feedback.   Finally, Fred draws from his 30 years as a pharmacist to expose the PBM racket—pharmacy benefit managers owned by big insurers and chains like CVS, clawing back millions and forcing independents to close. They call for transparency and reform to save community lifelines that sponsor Little Leagues, deliver midnight meds, and beat big-box prices. Listeners: Contact your reps to push PBM changes before independents vanish.   Unfiltered insights on accountability, street safety, and small-business survival—straight talk from two Mississippi originals.

We are back for another exciting season of racing! While it might be cold outside, we are bringing the heat and kicking off the 2026 racing season with the Clash at Bowman Grey Stadium. It sure is good to be back! Thanks for tuning in! Daytona is right around the corner!

Whether you're an engine enthusiast, a racer, or just love the stories behind the machines, this candid, experience-packed episode is a must-listen/watch.

On this episode of The Daily Driver, we talk about pressure. Why it shows up, how experience changes it, and why it never fully goes away. The key isn't eliminating pressure, but learning to embrace it as a sign you care and letting it prepare you to perform at your best. 

We welcome Maddi Gordon into the podcast studio to talk about the big year she has ahead of her. Maddi will make her NHRA Top Fuel Dragster debut in just a few weeks.

In this episode of The Daily Driver, I'm exploring the power of community and why no one truly succeeds alone. Drawing from a powerful study, personal experience, and lessons from TIBR Jr. and ELITE, I break down how independence can get you started but growth accelerates when you surround yourself with people who share your ambition. The right community doesn't just support you… it makes you better. 

Gotta love the drags, don't quit the gym, this bum.

In this episode of The Daily Driver, I share advice I gave a young racer heading to his first big-money, multi-day event. The one word he needed to hear? Grace.Big events are long, expectations are high, and mistakes are part of the process. The difference isn't whether you mess up, it's how you respond when you do. This episode is about trusting the racer you know you are, letting go of the occasional mistake, and moving forward with confidence.

Jonah Garnhardt joined for us for another episode of the Builder Series featuring builders involved in the High Class Trash Invitational! Jonah tells us all about growing up in the car scene thanks to his grandfather and dad.

In this episode of The Daily Driver, we're talking about how racers can make real gains during what we call separation season, the offseason. While many step away or hit pause, this is actually the best opportunity to improve, refine habits, and build an edge that shows up when it matters most.

Tons of information came to light at The Performance Racing Industry trade show last week. We're going to talk about the high points!Support the show by becoming a Member of GBR Garage on YouTube. We're bringing you along for our "Operation Boosted 540" build.

In this episode of The Daily Driver, I'm talking about a familiar concern in racing, the rising cost of competition and what it means for the future of the sport. It's something I've wrestled with lately, until I realized my own dad was saying the same thing more than 30 years ago. And since then, the sport hasn't just survived, it's thrived in ways none of us could have predicted.

Today we're talking about what happens when you shift your focus to something new on the track. Maybe you're rock-solid on the tree, but decide to prioritize the finish line next round. You execute perfectly there but suddenly you're late on the tree. Sometimes the mental energy required to level up a new skill takes away from the things you normally do well. So what's the answer? 

In this episode of the Daily Driver, I'm unpacking something I recently said during a webinar: I'd rather be wrong than indecisive. In everyday life, I'm intentional, I take my time before reaching conclusions because I value learning and adaptability. But when it comes to racing, I will stand behind what I said in that webinar. 

As we do here from time to time on The Daily Driver, I like to share the audio version of my column The Science of Winning featured in NHRA's National Dragster magazine. This week I am sharing The Trophy Case. 

This week's Daily Driver episode is dedicated to honoring the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil Sportsman Champions. 

Wednesday afternoon, NHRA made an announcement that changes the game! Due to an awful forecast, the sportsman classes will run to completion Thursday... without a time trial! How does this wrinkle alter the championship chase? And what questions are still unanswered?

There is no driver coming into Pomona with more potential variance in outcome than Darian Boesch. And he's not even racing in Pomona. He's coming into the season finale leading both Top Dragster and Top Sportsman. Will he end the weekend as the 4th driver in NHRA history to win 2 world championship in the same season? Or will he leave empty handed? 

Continuing our deep dive into last weekend's captivating race in Vegas, I mentioned in yesterday's episode that today would be dedicated to Jeff Taylor. He's a three-time NHRA World Champion and this past weekend he reminded everyone exactly why. 

We're here, the final race on the NHRA Lucas Oil series schedule. What will happen in the Super Classes? Will Whitfield and Brock hold on? 

Neo The Home Robot: The future is here! Or is it? A new AI robot dubbed NEO has been announced but is it just an Indian guy using VR to control him.
