Episode 196 is on the scene and it's Hampton Heat week at Langley Speedway. Track owner Bill Mullis is in the house and we discuss all the preparations the track is doing for the second leg of the Virginia Triple Crown, why the track is such a hit in the community, whether or not he's going to ride a bull anytime soon and much more. It's always a great time when Bill stops by and this was no exception.This year's Hampton Heat will have it's share of heavy hitters. Brenden "Butterbean" Queen tries to win a record breaking fourth event this weekend while Connor Hall returns to win his second. Matt Waltz won it last year and you know he will be bringing another strong piece to Langley while Lee Pulliam returns to JR Motorsports looking to rebound from South Boston. We pick our winners and discuss the storylines heading into it.The only thing hotter than Kaden Honeycutt in Late Model racing was the temperature in North Wilkesboro. We discussed another CARS Tour sweep from Honeycutt in both Pro and Late Model Stocks and all of the action from Wilkes County on Friday and on Saturday for the Truck Series as well. We also address Speedway Motorsports (SMI) joining the CARS Tour ownership group and what that means for the future of the Tour.The IHRA made more headlines last week by shuttering the IHRA Stock Car Series not even halfway through it's first year of existence. We were able to reach out to an anonymous source from the IHRA and we were able to answer some of the questions race fans had about what exactly happened, who hasn't gotten paid and what the future holds. It also leads us to a great conversation about the economics of Late Model Racing that you do not want to miss. Joey Logano ended his over 40 race winless streak in the Cup Series return to points paying racing at North Wilkesboro. We discuss everything that happened Sunday night plus we break down the finals of the Midseason Challenge and so much more this week on DLN!Special Thanks to our sponsorsALARS Inc (www.alars.net)Hash & Sons Enterprises LLC
This week on The Muscle Car Place Podcast, we're bringing you a Double Bonus Racing Show featuring two guests who are helping shape the future of grassroots motorsports from very different angles. First, Robert sits down with Brandon Setzer of Setzer Racing and Development to discuss the world of Late Model racing, driver development, and what it really takes to climb the ladder toward NASCAR. As the son of NASCAR Truck Series veteran Dennis Setzer, Brandon grew up in racing and now dedicates his career to helping young drivers accelerate their learning curve behind the wheel. Brandon explains the differences between Pro Late Models, Super Late Models, and Late Model Stocks while sharing insights from coaching some of the sport's rising stars. He also discusses how his program balances performance, affordability, and long-term driver growth. For listeners following Dallas Kibbe's racing journey, this conversation offers a firsthand look at the team helping him make the transition into Late Model competition. In the second feature interview, Robert catches up with Tyler West of RacingJunk at the 2026 High Performance Expo. While RacingJunk is widely known as the go-to marketplace for race cars, trailers, engines, and performance equipment, Tyler's passion extends far beyond classifieds. The conversation explores the challenges facing local racetracks, the importance of grassroots motorsports, and how facilities are adapting to attract new fans and remain viable in a rapidly changing world. Together, these interviews provide a fascinating look at the people working behind the scenes to develop drivers, support racetracks, and keep grassroots racing thriving for future generations.

In typical K&F fashion, things quickly spiral into chaos. Rob gets woken up at 4 AM by a smoke alarm only to discover water pouring out of it thanks to an upstairs bathroom flood. Bernie delivers weather with the energy of a town historian reading a plaque, the guys run through another round of Celebrity Automotive Ancillary Birthday, and a brutally accurate job-interview PSA reminds everyone that some people really do belong in the HR complaint file. Rob also shares a proud dad update as Dallas gets seat time in a late model on slicks, learning one of racing's biggest lessons: smooth inputs, tire management, and the reality that when the grip goes away… you just learn to work with it. For the Dukes Review, the crew heads back to Season 1, Episode 6 — “Swamp Molly.” This episode marks the beginning of the crisp California look many fans associate with the show. When old family friend Swamp Molly calls in a favor from Uncle Jesse, the Dukes agree to help run what they believe is moonshine — only to discover the cargo is actually a truckload of illegal firearms. The episode delivers classic early-season action including an ice cream truck disguise, swamp landings, Rosco's outrage at “un-American” crime, and plenty of General Lee driving. The guys also dive into production details like early General Lee quirks, background car spotting, and the raw stunt work that made the early seasons feel so authentic. The post K&F Show #358: Dallas Late Model Racing, and the 4AM Smoke Alarm Disaster // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E6 “Swamp Molly” first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
Send us a textKurt Vonder Haar, marketing director for Highland Speedway, recently appeared on the Dirty Right Rear Podcast, brought to you as always by The Barn, to discuss the track's growth, challenges, and upcoming marquee events. A seasoned marketing expert with a background in corporate event planning, Kurt has helped transform Highland Speedway into one of the top short tracks in the region by growing sponsorships from 12 to 75 and expanding its digital reach through social media and TikTok.Kurt highlighted the Speedway's recent success in hosting 103 cars across multiple classes and proudly reflected on Highland welcoming the World of Outlaws for the first time in 2024. He credited this growth to strong community support, a family-friendly atmosphere, and initiatives like the Junior Fan Club and kid-focused pit activities. Despite weather setbacks and rainouts that have affected many tracks this season, Kurt and the Highland race committee have doubled down on their commitment to delivering quality racing and memorable fan experiences.All attention is now on the highly anticipated World of Outlaws “Beat the Heat 40” event coming up Wednesday, August 13th at Highland Speedway in Highland, Illinois. The event will feature the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, DIRTcar Late Models, and DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, including a $2,500 payout for Modifieds. Last year's event drew fans from 24 states, and this year's edition is expected to be even bigger. The grandstand gates open at 4:30 PM, hot laps begin at 6:30 PM, and a full night of racing will follow.Kurt is also organizing special features for fans, including a kids' autograph session, a VIP tent, and contingency plans for weather. Reserved seating is selling quickly, but general admission tickets will still be available at the gate. Prices include $40 for adults, $10 for kids 12 and under, $50 for reserved seats, and $75 for box seats. Full-service and primitive camping options are also available.Looking ahead, Kurt is focused on increasing payouts, improving safety with new fencing in the backstretch, and exploring options to add seating in turns three and four or build premium viewing suites. His ultimate goal is to turn Highland's World of Outlaws stop into a crown jewel event in the dirt racing world. Through vision, hard work, and hometown pride, Kurt Vonder Haar continues to shape Highland Speedway into a national-caliber racing destination.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Leaning Right and Turning Left roars into the historic South Boston Speedway to catch up with Late Model Racing powerhouse Peyton Sellers! Listen as Peyton tells the boys about his journey in becoming a successful late model driver in the grass roots NASCAR Advance Auto Parts weekly series at local short tracks throughout Virginia, as well as his run for a record seventh championship at South Boston Speedway.
