A recall can be as small as a bolt and as serious as a roll-away, so we kick things off by sorting real risk from background noise. We talk through a stack of fresh automotive recalls, including incorrect front wheel hub bolts on full-size GM SUVs, a roll-away risk on the 2026 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair, Ford Bronco hardtops that may crack and detach, camera and seatbelt warning glitches, and tech that can trigger unexpected braking. We also share what these problems feel like on the road and what questions to ask before you leave the dealer lot. Then it's time for our favorite kind of argument: the Hemmings sold car roundup price-guessing game. We put numbers on everything from a huge 1959 Cadillac Series 75 ($19,950) and a 1973 Cadillac Calais that sells for a shocking $1,700, to an updated 1981 Chevy Blazer ($23,625) and a clean 1972 Volvo 1800 ($21,000). The curveballs keep coming with a 2015 Porsche Cayman that lands at $16,800, a budget-friendly 1932 Chevrolet custom at $5,320, a tiny 1960 Vespa 400 “clown car” at $18,821, and a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire at $9,500. If you love classic cars, collector car values, and auction results, you'll want to play along. We close out with This Week in Auto History and a quick racing calendar: the first Indy 500 in 1911, the Marmon Wasp and its early rearview mirror, the Mercedes-Benz 260D that brought diesel to passenger cars, and the Chrysler Airflow as an aerodynamic swing that was way ahead of its time. Jeff also runs through what to watch next, including IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix, NHRA, NASCAR Nashville, and upcoming Formula One, before we hit one last headline about Chevy using a 1,250 horsepower Corvette ZR1X to blow out giant birthday candles at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If you enjoyed the laughs and the practical car talk, subscribe on your favorite podcast app, share the show with a fellow gearhead, and leave us a review so more drivers can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A big week on and off the track, with everything from NASCAR heartbreak to NHRA headlines and a couple of very real‑life moments from the crew. Kyle Busch Passing — The Moment That Shocked NASCAR What it means for the Cup Series moving forward. A tough talking point, handled with respect and clarity. Latest NHRA News From team shake‑ups to standout performances, we run through the biggest stories coming out of the NHRA world this week. Who's rising, who's struggling, and what's coming next. Simon's Junior Football Thoughts Simon steps away from motorsport for a minute to give his take on junior footy — coaching, culture, and why kids' sport sometimes needs a tune‑up just as much as a race car. Nick's L‑Plate Guidance With His Son Nick shares the latest chapter with his sons new EB Falcon — teaching roadcraft, and mixing it with some of the car club old school mates.

Today on The Daily Driver, we're excited to announce a new addition ELITE Spotlight program. Throughout the season, select ELITE members will be sharing their racing journey through blog posts, updates, and other behind-the-scenes interactions.From the highs and lows to lessons learned along the way, this is a chance to follow along with real racers navigating a real season. Tune in as we introduce the program and the members who will be sharing their story with the community this year. Up first we have longstanding member Jordan Pratt. 

Recalls, auction shockers, racing, and a little automotive history whiplash all land in one fast-moving hour, and it starts with a simple reality: most of us are driving computers on wheels now. We dig into the latest vehicle recalls, from Mercedes-Benz instrument display issues and seat belt concerns to Tesla rear view camera problems and a Ram tire speed-rating warning. The most useful tip is also the easiest one: we walk through how to use SaferCar.gov with your VIN so you can confirm open recalls and get them handled before they become expensive or dangerous.Then we jump into Hemmings online auction results and play “guess the sale price” with everything from a 1969 Camaro restomod to an '86 Jeep CJ7, a clean 1967 Mustang fastback, and a jaw-dropping 1969 Pontiac Firebird that sells for serious collector money. Along the way we talk about what actually moves prices in the classic car market: rarity, originality, documentation, and the small details that separate a fun driver from a top-dollar collectible.We round out the show with the racing calendar (yes, even lawn mower racing), plus NASCAR, NHRA, Formula One, and Indy chatter. Auto history takes us from the Tucker 48 Cyclops Eye headlight to the Corvair's final days and the infamous seatbelt ignition interlock experiment, before we end on a modern buyer problem: JD Power numbers showing more early return cycles, more 84-month car loans, and more negative equity showing up at trade-in time.Subscribe for more real-time car talk, share this with a fellow car nerd, and leave a review to help more drivers find the show.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Chicago winners Matt Smith and Chad Green join the show to talk about how they navigated the track, the wind, and the competition to victory.    For Matt Smith, it was a harrowing experience picking up a second consecutive win on the NHRA tour. The crosswinds tested his bravery and ability on the drag strip. He goes in-depth about what they did to navigate it, his close call, and the final round that didn't go the way anyone expected it to.     Chad Green is having a career season in Funny Car. For the first time he has multiple wins in the same campaign and he has done it twice in six races. Green talks about pedaling around Ron Capps, the consistency of his people, new sponsors, and the team that he calls the best of his career.    This is a great episode with two chats that define two very different winning experiences!

Natalie Cilurzo joins Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell on Brew Ha Ha, to tell us about Russian River Brewing News and upcoming events. Her last time on the show was with Pliny the Younger  back on March 18. Natalie has brought three beers to taste, including Vinnie Cilurzo’s first signature beer, Blind Pig. Herlinda and Natalie were at the Craft Beer Convention in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. The industry is contracting. Schlitz beer is closing, in Milwaukee. They have been there for 120 years. Somebody might acquire that brand. Unreasonable Hospitality One of the speakers they heard was Will Guidara. He talked about his book called Unreasonable Hospitality. Natalie is a fan and describes his advice for companies and people in any industry related to hospitality. He used to own 11 Madison Park, a Michelin 3-star restaurant. His approach is to do things for guests that are unexpected. For example, he sent his staff outside to get a hot dog from a street vendor, so he could serve it to his guests at his Michelin restaurant. He overheard their wish and did this to surprise them. ••••Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.•••• That made Natalie and Vinnie think a lot about the experience that people get from their annual Pliny the Younger release. Natalie remembers a young family there last year and the mom was pregnant, so Natalie gave her a RRBC onesie. The next year, they were back with the baby, wearing the onesie. The little details and personal touches are what make a customer’s experience special memorable. “It’s not just the beer, it’s the experience,” says Herlinda. The first beer they taste today is called Stivo. It’s a Keller Pils that they have made in collaboration with Firestone Walker for about 20 years, although this is the first year that RRBC is actually producing it. It has a dry hoppy flavor, but not like an IPA, what they call German hoppy, not as strong. A Really Fun Busy Summer at Russian River Brewing Natalie grew up around cars and racing, and when they built the location in Windor with a big parking lot, she thought it would be a great place for a car show. So, they are doing that and there are 4 of them on the calendar this summer. One of the cars on display is an original Volkswagen van, owned by the third generation of the family. There will be lots of cars, a chopper sometimes shows up, a fire engine and an old Highway Patrol car too. The NHRA top fuel drag races are coming to Sonoma Raceway and they will display the cars on Wednesday, July 15, before the race, Anton Brown’s top fuel dragster will be on display.
