(Here are some more points Tim shared with MBN about BizFleets and their efforts: Especially to understand his business and the MIeFLEET program that was discussed in this video interview. -2020 to Present - push by the Biden Administration to reduce CO2 emissions, especially by reducing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and replacing them with electric vehicles *2022 Biden Administration provided approximately $500 million to 12 states including Michigan under the Build Back Better program to help states begin the transition to reducing their carbon footprint. Michigan was one of the states *February 2023 - Governor Whitmer announced she was committing $45M to the Clean Fleet Initiative in the 2024 budget which would provide Michigan cities, counties, public school districts, and universities/community college funds to begin transitioning their fleet vehicles to EVs. *BizFleets, a Michigan-based fleet management company that helps governments and businesses manage their fleets of vehicles, developed a program (MIeFLEET) that was designed to provide technology and resources for the State and the public entities to accomplish the Governor's $45M goal of assisting public entity fleets in Michigan to begin transitioning their fleet to EVs *MIeFLEET program powered by BizFleets gained support from the Michigan legislature and has been recommended for approval in the House, Senate, and the Governor *Within 12 months, The MIeFLEET would triple the number of EVs throughout Michigan's public entities from approximately 300 vehicles which are mostly in southeastern Michigan to over 1,500 vehicles in every county, all cities, all school districts, and all universities/community colleges throughout Michigan. *This will make Michigan the greenest state in the country by being the first state to have EVs in every public entity in the state. *The local public entities will receive a vehicle for 36 months through a $0 cost lease. *This will all be done without using any resources or funds from public entities throughout Michigan. The MIeFLEET technology developed by BizFleets and BizFleets resources will manage the entire program. *The technology will be end-to-end. Promoting the program to local public entities, the public entities will then complete an application on the website when approved they will order their vehicles on the website simply by clicking on the type of EV they want, the vehicle will be ordered by BizFleets and the progress of the vehicle being built will be tracked on the MIeFLEET website, the vehicle will be scheduled for delivery to the local public entities, the BizFleets team will deliver the vehicle to each public entity through local dealerships, the vehicles will be maintained by BizFleets. *At the end of the lease, the local entity can continue using the vehicle by signing up for a low-cost 36 months lease *In addition, BizFleets will provide fleet services to all the public entities existing fleet including leasing additional vehicles, maintenance of their current fleet of vehicles, telematics, and other services » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Live From RoadKill Nights 2023: Special Feature! Scotty Stap was onsite to talk to the OEM Dodge Boys While Drag Racing On The Streets Of Woodward Ave In Pontiac Michigan. This special feature episode on The Muscle Car Place is brought to you live from the streets of Pontiac Michigan. We were road side at Woodard Avenue where they closed the road and setup a drag strip for the event called RoadKill Nights. Every year RoadKill nights brings action, excitement, and new automotive experiences to Michigan (and other midwestern states) automotive enthusiasts. This year was no exception! The main difference in the event this year was that they moved  North from its typical M1 Concourse location up to one block off from Downtown Pontiac. The car show was actually held on the streets of the famous southern Michigan town. This made the main event area a little tight and the Thrill Ride cars were ALWAYS sideways. As a result the ride itself was shorter but it was still a great event for 2023. Our on the scene reporter Scott Stap was lucky enough to catch up with some old friends from Dodge and Stellantis who were on the "inside" track of all of the outgoing Chargers and Challengers. He also got some insight on the new Charger (electric) to come. That said, this was the final chance to talk about Dodge's outgoing Last Call vehicles.Enjoy!

Hello Fellow Racing Ears, Its been awhile but I got to chat with Rick Knoop again about his recent travels to Pontiac Michigan to be a driving instructor at the M1 Concourse.  He had a blast a few weeks ago and is really looking forward to being there again.  We then had a conversation about his memories surrounding Riverside International Raceway in Moreno Valley California.  The circuit was open from 1957 till 1989 when it was closed to make way for development.  I never got to see Riverside first hand but I remembered seeing the track on an episode of CHiP's called "Drive Lady Drive".  Riverside fondly gets  remembered with the Facebook Group "Remembering Riverside".Anyway Rick was a key ingredient to the success of the Jim Busby BFGoodrich Racing Team back in the 1980's with the BFGoodrich sponsored Porsche 962.  Busby Racing won the 1985 Los Angeles Times Grand Prix at Riverside on April 28, 1985 with Pete Halsmer and John Morton finishing in 1st Place with Knoop and Busby finshing on the podium in 2nd place .  His recollections of what the Porsche 962 would do on this track is quite fascinating.  Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast.   #rickknoop#jimbusby#johnmorton#petehalsmer#digitaldtour#imsagtp#imsa#busbyracing#riversideinternationalraceway#porsche962  #theracingearpodcast
