Jordan drops plenty of knowledge and some interesting hints at fun to come at Indy.    Maddi Gordon is up next, and she regals us with the tale of her first career runner-up finish, the season that has been, the idea of legitimately running for a Top Fuel title, and how the whole world of drag racing has changed so much for her in a year.    The final guest on the show is Mario Boesch, a Right Trailers Top Sportsman and Top Dragster racer that is better known on the internet as the "MKD Pit Reporter". Mario has become a huge hit on the drag racing internet making great videos and more importantly standing as a voice for sportsman drag racers. He talks about how this all happened, the stuff he has done, the benefits racers have seen from it, and more.    This is a BIG show and we're just getting warmed up for the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA US Nationals!

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're joined by Josh Wallace of Reviving Relics.Josh made the trip from Lebanon, Tennessee to talk about how he went from diesel trucks, Peterbilt quality control, and working on Matt Hagan's NHRA crew to starting Reviving Relics and figuring out what it actually takes to run a hot rod shop that can survive.We get into the early days of taking on service work, learning how to quote jobs, tracking time, finding the right customers, building relationships with vendors, and why making a business profitable in this industry is a lot harder than just working harder.Of course, we also dig into Terry's '59 truck, the SEMA push, the Roadster Shop booth, the custom tailgate, the big-window conversion, the thrash to get it done, and why that build became Reviving Relics' first real business card.Josh also talks about building for repeat customers, the importance of the experience, current shop projects like the '70 Challenger, the LT4/T-56 Camaro, the Viper-powered Power Wagon, and what's next for the shop.Add in a '72 F100 first car story, Eagles Greatest Hits, Wild Turkey, work ethic debates, Lebanon pronunciation lessons, and the normal amount of Oil & Whiskey nonsense.

"When it comes to racing top bulb and bottom bulb (same day or not), why do you think some racers elect to switch between box and no box even when they are clearly better with no box? I watch a few racers channels on YouTube and I will notice they are hitting the tree better with no box better than the box runs. Why not just run top bulb with no box at that point? Ego? I have the box why not use it? Maybe just a bad day on the box?"If you've got a topic you want us to tackle, submit it at thisisbracketracing.com/ask.

The work and commitment still have to come from you.But when serious racers surround themselves with the right people, information and support, it can help move the needle.ELITE enrollment closes tonight.

They also chat about the state of NASCAR as they move on from the controversial charter lawsuit and into the future with Steve O'Donnell at the helm. Jeff also sits down with fellow journalist Kelly Crandall to ponder the perfect number of road courses on a NASCAR Cup schedule, the return to Chicagoland Speedway and the latest in the NHRA scene.
