The High Performance Expo was a big success, and the Kibbe Boys (i.e. Rob and Dallas) got the chance to take in even MOR than just the High Performance Expo itself. Thanks to NHRA Superstar Clay Millicaon and KAFS Show Super Stud Listener (and Hendrick Motorsports employee) Austin Darling we got to visit not one, but TWO NASCAR Shops; Rick Ware Racing thanks to Clay, and Hendrick thanks to Austin! Both were outstanding experiences to get a true inside look at the craft, business, tech, and reality of a NASCAR life. At Hendrick we even got the chance to attend a Bible lesson over lunch AND visit Rick Hendrick's personal car and memorabilia collections. It was nothing short of unbelievable! Austin surprised us with his '68 Newport sitting out front of Hendrick Motorsports, complete with a 440, A/C, steelies, and a tribute name of “Sweet Tilly” in honor of Uncle Jesse's Dukes of Hazzard Season 1 moonshine car. You can follow him on Instagram via @pawpaws_speedshop and on YouTube at Paw Paw's Speedshop as well. .

To cut to the chase, if you haven't seen the new Dale Earnhardt docuseries on Amazon Prime yet….you need to. It's an in redible production detailing the true life and drive of Dale Earnhardt, success, flaws, and all. It's told through the eyes of Darrell Waltrip, Dale's racing competitors, and especially his children; Kerry, Dale Jr, and Kelly (his 4th child Taylor is not onscreen). It's a remarkable series, and while you'll leave with respect and awe for the man on the track….you'll have a true lump in your throat about how he lived in life, and what he lived it for. This is not a paid endorsement or review at all, nor is this an affiliate link. This is just our honest take on what is (in our opinion) an outstanding series and worth your money and time! Enjoy. Here's the link! https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0SLG53HHK10A0XON0Y8I04VLSQ/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r  ======================================== Movie Review: Stroker Ace In June of 2025 we are doing our Month of Racing! We originally reviewed the Burt Reynolds Classic “Stroker Ace” in Episodes 117 and 118 as well as the month end Patreon show in July of 2019. Enjoy! Movie Summary: This is it! After waiting years to prepare we finally did a full review of the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie. This was a $50Million dollar big screen production of our favorite TV show, featuring our favorite car doing the best big screen performance any car has ever performed, ever (we're looking your way, Bullitt). Other than the car…..this isn't the TV series Dukes that you know. Boss Hogg (played by Burt Reynolds) is skinny. Rosco is mean, not goofy. Bo is scared of women. Luke can't drive. Uncle Jesse is crass. But….if you can get past all of that and leave it for what it is, we loved it. Our man Corndog was onsite for the entire filming of the movie in Louisiana and had the full skinny on every car there that played the General Lee (all 27 of them).  ======================================== National Parts Depot Presents: Bernie on the News! https://www.npdlink.com.

NASCAR Hall of Fame, Rick Ware Racing, and Hendrick Motorsports; All Racing June Reviews: Earnhardt on Prime and “The Dukes of Hazzard Movie – 2005” first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

What starts as a story about racing quickly transforms into a moving testimony of resilience, calling, and faith in the workplace.Donnie shares how a childhood marked by medical challenges, a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome, and a near-fatal motorcycle accident shaped his grit and perseverance. After serving in the Air Force and in law enforcement, a surprising call from his twin brother changed his life forever—inviting him into the world of NASCAR.From painting race cars to teaching Bible studies, Donnie's journey led him to step into his true calling: serving the hearts and souls of Hendrick Motorsports' 750+ employees as their chaplain. He opens up about the grief that followed a tragic team plane crash, how God called him to be a light during dark times, and what it means to live with purpose in a high-pressure, high-profile environment. Topics Covered:Growing up in Charlotte and discovering a love for racingOvercoming trauma, Tourette syndrome, and finding identity in ChristTransitioning from law enforcement to NASCARThe legacy of John Hendrick and spiritual life at Hendrick MotorsportsWorkplace ministry, leadership, and the role of men in faith and familyBuilding unity, servant leadership, and culture in a competitive spaceWhat it means to do the will of God in everyday lifeListen now and break through the lies that have been impacting your daily life.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with 1994 Busch Series champion David Green to learn why he turned down a ride from his dad, what it was like replacing Ricky Hendrick, and how he navigated racing against his two brothers.After growing up in Owensboro, Kentucky and venturing into kart racing with his brothers David and (former DJD guest) Jeff, David made the transition into late model racing and found success in the NASCAR All-American Challenge Series. His relationships with Wayne Day, Mike Alexander and Bobby Labonte helped usher him into the NASCAR garage, initially building cars and making one-off starts in the Busch Series. But once Bobby Labonte was promoted to the Cup Series and vacated his family-owned ride, David was hired full-time and would lead the team to the 1994 Busch Series championship.David fills Dale in on an encounter he had with Dale Sr. where he was approached to replace his brother Jeff in the #3 DEI Busch car. He also reflects on his time spent driving for Hendrick Motorsports, replacing Ricky Hendrick when he made the decision to step away from racing in 2002. The conversation also covers David's decision to retire from the driver's seat, and how he took a position working as a NASCAR official as part of the research and development safety team, where he currently works today. Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

19-year-old phenom and current Hendrick Motorsports driver Corey Day joins Davey Segal (8:55) to discuss his transition from dirt to asphalt and adjustment to stock cars. They also discuss how he's preparing for Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend, going back somewhere for a second time, how the Truck and Xfinity car differ, leaning on crew chiefs Brian Pattie and Adam Wall for advice and the clear distinction that's been made of him being a HMS driver - NOT a development driver. Day also dives into how Jeff Gordon recruited him to Hendrick and the funny story that resulted in Gordon having to prove it was actually him on the other end of their text conversation, how he's keeping his new busy schedule straight, why live pit stops and racing as a profession have been extra difficult to adjust to and his beginnings on two wheels and transition to dirt in California. Plus, how he deals with being heralded as a "generational talent" and "phenom" of sorts, why he loves the haters writing him off, how it feels to have the support and belief from Kyle Larson, Gordon and other racing legends, what his goals are for the rest of this year and more, including why he's such a Taco Bell lover. Papa Segal also pays homage to the late Eddie Jordan and Davey recaps Darlington while looking ahead to Bristol.
