This is what I love about November every year. This past weekend was absolutely captivating. Today's episode of the Daily Driver is dedicated to Justin Lamb, who came into the event knowing he had to do one thing: win the race. Nothing less would do. And boy did he show out! 

On today's episode of the Daily Driver, we're talking about lane discrepancies and how you can use them to your advantage. 

Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the favorite in Super Stock... but it's not over! Kris Whitfield is the favorite in SC... but it's not over! JJ Brock is the favorite in SG... but it's FAR from over! Luke does his best to break down all the scenarios (and even gives some odds) in today's Daily Driver!

A 15-year-old American podiums in France, trains on a historic family kart track, and preps a KZ shifter for SuperNats—this conversation with Truly Adams puts you trackside with a teen who's chasing F1 the hard way: one tenth at a time. We dive into how karting sharpens the instincts that matter—trail braking, rotation, race starts, and battling through 60-kart grids where the top 30 can be separated by a single tenth. He shares how he balances homeschooling, constant travel, and year-round testing while keeping the physical and mental edge to jump between karts and formula cars.We unpack the ladder from French F4 to F3, F2, and ultimately F1, highlighting why an academy series with spec cars levels the field and spotlights driver skill. Truly explains differences between spec and open setup environments, how tire management and car feedback decide outcomes, and why selection to the Feed Racing finals was a crucial step. If you've ever wondered what it's like to hit 93 mph an inch off the ground, or how temporary SuperNats circuits change strategy, this is the inside line.Beyond the interview, we hit key motorsport beats: Formula One's late-season stops, NASCAR championship weekend, and NHRA in Las Vegas. We add perspective with quick auto history snapshots—from friction-drive transmissions that paved the way for CVTs to the first Honda cars built in the U.S.—and check current industry headlines, including shifts in EV production. It's a fast, informative ride for fans who love the craft, the calendar, and the deeper stories behind the stopwatch.Follow Truly @ truly_thetruth on Instagram to track his next steps.

As we come into the final two weeks of the season, only the Stock Eliminator and TAFC titles have been determined. Today, Luke breaks down the favorites and contenders in the "fast" classes: Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and Competition Eliminator!

The Champions have been crowned in all three NASCAR series. We discuss the Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series finales from Phoenix. There were celebrations and some heartbreak in all three series. F1 heads to Brazil this weekend and it's a Sprint Race Weekend. We'll see if there will be a shakeup at the top of the points standings after what is sure to be an epic Brazilian Grand Prix. NHRA was flying in Vegas. We take a look at the winners and the current points standings as NHRA wraps up their season in Pomona in a couple weeks. Thanks for tuning in! 

Buckle up, gearheads—it's time to fire up the mics for another nitro-fueled episode of WFO Ignition, the worldwide motorsports pow-wow hosted by the unmistakable voice of NHRA drag racing, Joe Castello! Fresh off a weekend that packed more drama than a last-lap restart at Phoenix, Joe and the unstoppable Ignition crew—Sue Morris, and Matt in Australia—tear into the highs, crashes, and heartbreaks from the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship and the thunderous Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals in Vegas. First in the crosshairs: NASCAR's epic season finale at Phoenix Raceway, where Kyle Larson etched his name deeper into the history books with his second Cup Series title. The No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy charged through chaos, holding off a charging Denny Hamlin in overtime to finish third and seal the deal—proving once again why Larson's the total package. But it was Ryan Blaney stealing the show with the race win, while William Byron's wall-smashing heartbreak and Chase Briscoe's valiant run left the Championship 4 field littered with what-ifs. The crew debates Larson's dominance, Hamlin's tire strategy gone wrong, and what this means for 2026—plus, a deep dive on Hendrick's record 15th title and the off-season shake-ups ahead. Then, shifting gears to the neon glow of The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where the NHRA Nevada Nationals delivered wheelstanding glory and record-shattering ETs. As the penultimate nitro blast of the season, the action was pure fire: Brittany Force's Top Fuel win, Matt Hagan's Funny Car precision, and Dallas Glenn's Pro Stock mastery keeping the points chase white-hot heading into the Pomona finale. Joe, straight from the announcing booth, spills exclusive nuggets on the side-by-side showdowns, the Mission Foods countdown drama, and bold predictions for who'll hoist the Wally in the season-ender. Expect unfiltered takes on the nitro flameouts, Pro Mod madness, and why Vegas always saves its wildest cards for last. From F1's global sprint to IndyCar's oval assaults, the Ignition squad doesn't miss a beat—tossing in WFO Fantasy updates, Troy's Big Money Minute, and enough bench-racing banter to fuel your commute. No scripts, no BS, just raw passion for everything that goes fast. Download now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you rev your engine—because in the WFO Universe, the checkered flag waits for no one. WFO!

This week on Life's a Drag, the boys are back from Vegas and breaking down all the action! From the wild weekend at the Vegas race to the chaos of SEMA, they've got every bit of silly season gossip covered. And joining the crew is the Godfather himself, Joe Castello, to share his insider take on what really went down in Sin City. Buckle up — this episode's got horsepower, hot takes, and a whole lot of laughs.

Le V8 HEMI fait son grand retour chez Dodge !TORQ - Épisode 486Le V8 HEMI fait son grand retour chez Dodge… mais seulement pour la piste.Pas de Charger V8 de rue, pas de Ram sportif de production — juste une Charger Drag Pak à 235 000 $ US et un concept Ram “The Dude” hommage aux années 70.Dans cet épisode TORQ, on plonge dans les nouveautés présentées au SEMA 2025 :

Only two events remain in the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil season! In this episode of Daily Driver, I'm recapping all the action from Las Vegas, a weekend that favored the points leaders. No lead changes this time, which is something you don't see often this late in the year. 

On this episode we discuss the NHRA from Las Vegas, the NASCAR Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series final from Phoenix and is the Roland Dane vs Tony Quinn stoush just smoke and mirrors?

In this episode of Daily Driver, we're diving into the “nothing to lose” mindset. I've learned over the years that when I race with that mindset, I perform at my best. The real challenge? Figuring out how to tap into that mindset consistently. 

In this episode of The Nerd Out, fair warning, it's going to run longer than 10 minutes, we're diving into the incredible drama of Super Gas. Over the past three seasons, the chase has come down to Pomona, and it feels like destiny is leading us right back there again. As we head into this weekend, 11 drivers remain mathematically in the hunt for the world championship and all 11 are entered in the West Coast races. 

What happens when Gridlife, Global Time Attack, and SCCA all start working together?In this episode of Inside the SCCA, host Brian Bielanski sits down again with Heyward Wagner, Senior Director of Rally/Solo and Experiential Programs at SCCA, to dive deep into how programs like Time Trials, Targa, and RallyCross are reshaping grassroots motorsports.

Today, we're resetting the stage in the 8.90 Super Comp category as we head into the final three weeks of the season. It's fair to say the 2025 season has been all about one man, Kris Whitfield. But there's a twist... he waived two events that he actually went on to win. Because of that, the championship isn't quite locked up just yet.

I'm back and flying solo this week! Short show for you to get all the highlights from Martinsville weekend. Trucks, Xfinity, and Cup Series final fours are all set and ready for Phoenix Championship weekend. I've got all our picks and predictions for what is sure to be an exciting final round in the NASCAR Playoffs. F1 was in Mexico City over the weekend, and we had all kinds of drama from off track excursions and penalties to a brand-new points leader when the checkered flag fell. Thanks for tuning it! 

Vegas Baby! by WFO Radio Podcast

Short of Super Gas, the Super Stock title race may be the most compelling. Reigning champ Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the leader in the clubhouse with what "should" be a fairly comfortable lead... But his two closest contenders have combined for NINE NHRA World Championships!

Two races left, who's it gonna be? F1 was in Texas over the weekend and there has been some major gains from Max in the points battle. Mexico Grand Prix is on for this coming weekend and we are here for it! Thanks for tuning in!  

A turquoise 1958 GMC Apache pulled us in with classic lines, then surprised us with a 2016 heartbeat: a 5.3 V8, 6L80, four-wheel discs, cold AC, and the kind of road manners that beg for long miles. With shop owner and builder Sonny Bennett at the mic, we dive into what it takes to craft a true driver from an old truck—why stock-style pulley systems matter, how water-based paint helps with real-world repairs, and why anyone claiming “no filler” is selling you a lumpy fantasy. Sonny's ethos is simple and sharp: fix it right or don't touch it, drive what you build, and let the miles be the proof.We also explore the business side of bodywork: initial estimates versus supplements, the hidden damage no one sees until teardown, and the big reasons Sonny refuses direct repair programs that let insurers dictate methods and margins. His shop serves the car and the customer, not a spreadsheet. That same clarity fuels his personal fleet stories—matching a '58 when a '55 was elusive, rebuilding a wrecked cab the right way, and finishing the Apache during the early days of COVID when the shop was deemed essential. The result? A classic that gets 21 mpg and cruises to Gulfport without a hiccup.The ride continues with a high-dollar Nova that took home top trophies before popping an engine on the return trip, proving that reliability is earned on the road, not on a stage. Then there's the 1967 Camaro project, acquired with a trove of pro-touring parts and a decades-old backstory involving a hot tub trade. We round it out with our racing calendar—Talladega, F1 in Austin, NHRA dates—and a fast lap through auto history, from Packard's twin six to the Hydramatic and the El Camino. We close on EV news and incentives fading, with automakers stepping in to keep prices competitive.If you love honest shop wisdom, restomod ingenuity, and the thrill of cars built to be driven, you'll feel right at home.
