This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're back on location at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis better known as The Big Go.The guys sit down with Tony Stewart, Leah Pruett, and Matt Hagan inside the Elite Motorsports compound for a conversation about drag racing, Top Fuel, Funny Car, Indy, and why this event is one of the biggest weekends in motorsports.Tony and Leah talk about what makes the U.S. Nationals different, from the history of the race to the championship implications, the pressure of qualifying, track conditions, and what it takes to get a nitro car down the track when the weather, surface, and points all matter.Matt jumps in to talk about winning Indy, the mindset it takes to show up at a race like this, and why NHRA needs more personality, more access, and more ways to show fans what actually happens behind the scenes.The conversation also gets into why drag racing has to be experienced in person. The sound, the smell, the flames, the pit access, the motor rebuilds between rounds, and the kind of fan experience you just can't recreate on TV.Tony and Leah also talk about racing as husband and wife, Leah's return to Top Fuel after having Dominic, how they support each other while still wanting to win, and what it's like being part of the larger Elite Motorsports and Tony Stewart Racing family.Add in Matt's EDM/rave confession, Leah's Eminem era, Tony's classic rock lane, law enforcement stories, Lake Havasu life, side-by-sides, wake surfing, and the usual Oil & Whiskey derailments, and this one is exactly what happens when you put microphones in the middle of a race weekend.

Today on The Daily Driver, we're introducing the next installment of our Win Light Lab series - this time led by Gage Burch and focused on bottom bulb racing.Gage joins us to talk about his “chameleon” approach to competition, the importance of being able to adapt to any situation, and what racers can expect from this small-group experience.

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 NHRA Countdown is off to an amazing start and @elonwer and Abby will break down a record setting Dodge Great Lakes Nationals and preview the NHRA's second Countdown race at historic Rockingham Dragway.

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.

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're doing things a little differently.The guys went on location at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis and sat down with Elite Motorsports inside one of the biggest hospitality setups in drag racing.Richard Freeman joins the show to talk about how Elite Motorsports grew from family roots in drag racing into a full-scale operation with multiple teams, dozens of people on the road, national event wins, world championships, and drivers like Erica Enders, Aaron Stanfield, Greg Stanfield, Jeg Coughlin Jr., and Tony Stewart all under the same umbrella.We get into the business of modern Pro Stock, what it takes to scale a race program, why people are still the hardest part of any operation, and how Elite has built a program where racers can show up, plug in, and compete at the highest level.Erica Enders and Aaron Stanfield also jump in to talk about getting behind the wheel of a Top Fuel car, the difference between Pro Stock and nitro racing, pressure, nerves, race-day focus, and why Pro Stock is still one of the purest hot rods in motorsports.There's also plenty of talk about the future of NHRA, making drag racing more accessible, pit access, the chaos behind the scenes, law enforcement stories, life advice, 1969 Camaros, no-blue race cars, and the usual Oil & Whiskey detours.Watch or listen now wherever you get Oil & Whiskey.

"Which NHRA Class is the "Easiest" to win?"If you've got a topic you want us to tackle, submit it at thisisbracketracing.com/ask. With insights from the TIBR and ELITE brain trust, this episode starts a series of Q&A discussions built around the questions racers are asking right now.

282 mph sounds like a headline until you hear what it feels like from inside the cockpit. We sit down with NHRA icon Angelle Sampey, a three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion, to trace the path from a six-year-old on a Suzuki dirt bike to a driver chasing the next mountain: Top Fuel. Along the way, she explains why one moment at an NHRA race can erase every other plan and how a racing dream can coexist with a serious career off the track as a registered nurse.Angelle breaks down what a Pro Stock Motorcycle really is (hint: “stock” is mostly a myth), why 400 horsepower on two wheels changes everything, and what you risk when there's no roll cage and nothing holding you on. Then we get into the big transition: moving into an A/Fuel dragster under a closed canopy, strapped down with restraints, relying on radio communication, and learning the difference between comfort and true safety at speed. Her explanation of tire shake versus tire spin is as vivid as it is useful, and it shows how drag racing is won or lost in fractions of a second.We also dig into the people who make the results possible: crew chiefs, crew members, and sponsors, plus what recognition like top-driver honors and a Motorsports Hall of Fame induction means when you've lived the team side of the sport. After that, we pivot to automotive news with real shopper impact: U.S. new vehicle inventory levels, why hybrids are moving faster than EVs, and how brands like Cadillac and Toyota are facing awkward timing gaps and delays as they balance gasoline, hybrid, and electric strategies.Subscribe for more automotive talk, share this with a racing fan, and leave us a review with your biggest takeaway from Angelle's story.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!----  ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?     In Wheel Time is now available on Audacy!  Just go to Audacy.com/InWheelTime where ever you are.-----   -----Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Podcast and check out our live multiplatform broadcast every Saturday, 10a - 12nCT simulcasting on Audacy, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch and InWheelTime.com.In Wheel Time Podcast can be heard on you mobile device from providers such as:Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music Podcast, Spotify, SiriusXM Podcast, iHeartRadio podcast, TuneIn + Alexa, Podcast Addict, Castro, Castbox, YouTube Podcast and more on your mobile device.Follow InWheelTime.com for the latest updates!Twitter: https://twitter.com/InWheelTimeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/inwheeltime/https://www.youtube.com/inwheeltimehttps://www.Facebook.com/InWheelTimeFor more information about In Wheel Time Podcast, email us at info@inwheeltime.com

Tune in this weekend for a wild Daytona race under the lights this Friday and Saturday night!IndyCar put on a spectacular weekend of racing in our nation's capital.

Bobby has the NASCAR Fantasy and DRBB results, Matt's Australia Report, SportsCollision, and more.

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. With insights from the TIBR and ELITE brain trust, this episode starts a series of Q&A discussions built around the questions racers are asking right now.

This week's Question of the Week comes from Brian, who asks: I really enjoyed the episode about your first national event win, curious if we turn back the clock even more could you tell us the story of your first win in general?If you've got a topic you want us to tackle, submit it at thisisbracketracing.com/ask.

After more than a decade of faithfully chasing his first win, longtime ELITE member Bryan Campbell finally broke through—and he did it on one of the biggest stages possible: a $50,000-to-win event at Mid-Michigan Motorplex.In this episode, Luke celebrates Bryan's incredible accomplishment and shares what happened when Bryan walked the ELITE community through the race, round by round.But the bigger story may be what happened next.Within minutes, the same room went from celebrating one member at his highest to helping another experienced racer regain perspective after a weekend that had completely unraveled.That's one of the hardest parts of ELITE to explain from the outside.It's a community that celebrates the wins, helps you learn from the mistakes and reminds you that none of us does this alone.ELITE isn't a shortcut—and joining won't guarantee your next win is worth $50,000. 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.
