Currently full-time in the ARCA Menards Series, Nick Sanchez joins Davey this week (12:05) as the two reminisce and discuss his career to date, which only started seven years ago. After some time go-karting at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Sanchez and his mom searched “how to become a NASCAR driver” on the internet, and the rest is history. After being accepted into NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program, Sanchez began competing in legends and late models for Rev Racing, where he honed his craft in full-bodied stock cars for the first time. He explains why winning the Wendell Scott Trailblazer award was such a big deal to him, and recalls his first couple starts in the K&N Pro Series at South Boston in 2019. Now full-time in ARCA, Sanchez details why Rev upgraded their inventory ahead of the ambitious 20-race slate, how his skillset has improved, what it’s like racing against Ty Gibbs and more. Plus, some stories of karting with Indy 500 champions and Formula 1 winners, his passions away from the track (notably why he now has a “plan B” in the real estate industry if racing doesn’t work out) and more, including the hilarious and ironic story of how Nick and Davey’s two families are connected dating back to school in Miami. Davey also touches on Kyle Larson’s dominant Coca-Cola 600 win and Rick Hendrick’s record-breaking night at Charlotte, previews Sonoma and Papa Segal gives an ode to “The Ironman.”

These two go way back, and boy do they have some stories to tell. Davey welcomes on Camping World Truck Series driver Derek Kraus (6:00) for a wide-ranging off-season chat, with multiple appearances from the entire Kraus family (and his girlfriend Stephanie). Fresh off his best ever finish in the Snowball Derby, Kraus details why the enormous super late model event carries the weight it does, and how the winner (and his roommate) Ty Majeski put the iconic trophy in some questionable places. Plus, after officially announcing his 2021 plans, what are his realistic expectations in year two? Kraus relives his dominant K&N Pro Series days, including his initial test with Bill McAnally Racing at Kern County at the age of 15-years-old, his first win a year later at the same track and the interaction he had with Kevin Harvick after the two made contact at, you guessed it, Kern. Plus, his perspective on the infamous Hailie Deegan dump in Colorado, including the aftermath immediately and weeks after, and his championship celebration (once he got the bottles popping) at Phoenix. The two chat about Wisconsin producing a ridiculous amount of racing talent, his time at the Slinger Nationals, his rookie season in the Truck Series, adjusting to showing up with no practice and racing, his connection with other NAPA drivers, missing out on typical teenage activities in favor of racing, food preferences, his Jack’s Pizza obsession, his fear of heights, his love of wrestling, his theory about Danica Patrick’s significant others and so, so, SO much more. A can't miss conversation that's one for the ages.

After becoming the youngest ever NHRA champion, Tanner Gray decided to switch things up. The third generation racer joins Davey (26:45) to discuss his move to circle track racing and stock cars, including why his mind was made up before his championship season, the reason he was so dead set on it for years, whether or not his family legacy in NHRA put any pressure on him and a funny story of the first time he strapped into a dragster. Gray also details growing up in New Mexico, where racing wasn’t very popular, and devoting his focus to baseball, not being so hard on himself and why he wasn’t totally able to enjoy his first K&N Pro Series win at South Boston. The two also chat about a few other memorable moments in his K&N tenure, being a part of the Ford Development Program, the competition difference from K&N to ARCA to Trucks, driving for David Gilliland and working with championship crew chief Shane Wilson in his first full-time season in the Truck Series.

The Venturini Motorsports driver joins Davey (19:40) to discuss his introduction to racing, including go-karting in Utah, eventually competing in the world championships in Portugal and why his time as a RCR development driver wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Plus, his time in the K&N Pro Series spanning multiple organizations (and winning multiple times), how his relationship with Sinclair Oil began and his passion for coaching the next generation of drivers and road racing. Self candidly discusses the difficulty in racing a revolving door of teenagers while being a veteran of the series, and how the two differing ideologies on track seem don’t mesh, whether or not he’s content to stay in ARCA or gain more national series experience and why getting his business degree at age 30 is one of the smartest things he’s done in his life. The two also share some laughs about getting kisses from team owner Bill Venturini in Victory Lane, old photos on his website, having his former team owner and chef cook him some gourmet hot dogs, a rental car shuttle at 4 a.m. following a win in Idaho and more. The playoff field has been dwindled down to eight, as Davey recaps a wild and soggy Charlotte ROVAL weekend, including why Sunday's first stage was so entertaining.

The 2021 schedule has finally been released, and it has multiple shakeups. Davey peruses through the slate with all the the big changes, and explains why one specific alteration just ain’t it. Plus, a recap of Kurt Busch’s surprise win at his home track after 22 attempts, the G.O.A.T. stepping down from the pit box after this season and a preview of Talladega.
