The NERD OUT rolls into Stock Eliminator, and this championship chase is getting crowded. Joe Santangelo has taken over the top spot, but with several contenders still holding valuable opportunities to improve, 633 points may not be enough to close the door.I'm breaking down the paths for Michael Brand, Cooter Hidalgo, Parker Theobald and others still in the hunt. Plus why this weekend in St. Louis could have a major impact on the championship picture. The races are running out, the points are getting harder to find, and Stock is far from settled.

On the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave and Alec are joined by Joe Levy (most favorite guest status) and Sharon Dye to talk about National Preparedness Month. Focusing on the human behavior, the discussion focuses on common pitfalls of where preparedness activities fail and ways that organizations can address that. Joe and Sharon founded The HX3 Advisory Group™Find out more at: thehxadvisorygroup.com

The NERD OUT continues, and today I'm turning my attention to Super Gas, a category that has delivered some incredible championship drama in recent years.Nathan Vrooman has built a sizable lead, but in Super Gas, 612 points is far from a guarantee. I'm breaking down his path to the title, why Bo Butner and Phil Unruh still have plenty of opportunity, and how Jordan Pratt has quickly raced his way into the championship conversation.The schedule is getting shorter, the opportunities are disappearing, and I believe our 2026 Super Gas World Champion comes from this group of four. Let's nerd out on how it could all unfold.

The NERD OUT continues, and this time I'm breaking down the Super Comp championship chase. With the 2026 Lucas Oil season heading into the home stretch, the points picture is getting interesting and changing quickly.I'm taking a closer look at Trey Vetter's position at the top, the paths that Phil Unruh and Jordan Pratt have to challenge him, and why Zach Mazir is my long shot worth watching. There are still points on the table, races to be run, and plenty of scenarios that could shake things up before this championship is decided.

The NERD OUT rolls on, and this time I'm diving into the Super Stock championship chase. With the Lucas Oil season winding down, I'm looking at the battle from three different perspectives: the current leader, a top contender, and a long shot who still has a path to the championship.There's still plenty of racing left and plenty of ways this thing can play out. Let's dig into the points, the possibilities, and what each of these racers needs to make a run at the title.

It's that time of year again...The NERD OUT is back! With the NHRA season entering its final stretch, I'm deep diving into the championship picture across the Lucas Oil categories.First up: Competition Eliminator. Who's in the hunt? What does the path to a championship look like? And which races, points opportunities, and potential scenarios could shape the final two months of the season? It's time to nerd out on the Comp Eliminator championship chase.

In the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave and Alec break down recent developments in the conflict with Iran and consider whether the situation could widen, along with the broader factors event professionals should keep in mind. They also discuss the Berlin vehicle ramming attack and what it may signal for future outdoor event planning and security. Looking ahead to the fall event season, they explore how current geopolitical dynamics could shape risk considerations.

New podcast alert! I do still have 2 historic episodes of Getting to the Heart of Why We Write that I plan to drop here in the next few weeks, but stay tuned for my new podcast: Nerd Out with Gina. Each episode is a different topic to geek out about. A few on my list are Monsters, Billy the Kid, and Biological Warfare. It will be dropping in a new feed with the show's title. But, I'll put the first one or two on here so you can check it out before heading over there.Thank you to everyone who was on Getting to the Heart of Why We Write. I loved doing this show and spending so many hours talking to authors about their passion for writing. I stepped away due to some family issues and am hoping to now be back on a semi-regular podcasting schedule. Hopefully those of you who enjoyed this show will want to nerd out with me over at my new feed. Thank you!

On the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave and Alec go deep into the planning that went into the disrupted hostile event planned for UFC 250. They go into the planning and preparedness activities and align it to the Hostile Event Attack Cycle (HEAC). A key part of this planning was the use of drones and what it means for future events. Dave and Alec then looked at the current situations in Ukraine and Iran and how the use of drones have been leveraged to change the game. Turning to other nerd news, Dave and Alec broke down the newest Spider Man trailer and the new season of Game of Thrones, plus talk about Spider Noir and Super Girl.UFC Violent Extremist Attack PlotInside the Alleged Plot To Make UFC White House Event a Killing ZoneGrowing Threat of Drones in Warfare and to Homeland SecurityUkraine's Drone Campaign Puts New Pressure on MoscowIran's Drone Strategy (Part 1): Wartime Performance and AdaptationsIslamic State ActivityCounter-terrorism operation disrupted Islamic State Khorasan Province activities
