Send us Fan MailThis week on the Built2 Media Podcast, we spend most of the night with a man who has been part of the backbone of Midwest dirt track racing for generations — Art Golden.At 83 years old, Art has seen it all. From the evolution of race cars and racing parts to the ever-changing costs of the sport, he's been there through it all. More importantly, he's been the guy racers have relied on when they needed help the most.Art shares incredible stories from decades at the racetrack, discusses how racing has changed over the years, and gives his perspective on what it takes to keep racers competing season after season. If you've spent any time around Midwest dirt track racing, chances are you've heard the name Art Golden.One quote from Art perfectly sums up his passion for the sport:"When I die, I'm going to have my ashes spread on the track so I can get in their face one more time."We also put Art through our famous Two-Minute Questions segment and hear even more stories from one of racing's most respected figures.In addition to our conversation with Art, we break down several major announcements from Rice Lake Speedway, including:

Send us Fan MailA dirt track career can start with a dream, then immediately test you with fire, rollovers, and a rulebook you didn't know you broke. That's why our conversation with young Midwest Modified racer Sophie Anderson hits so hard: she's honest about the messy parts of racing and the mindset it takes to keep coming back.We talk about Sophie's early years in Pure Stocks, including the night she won and then got disqualified, and how that emotional whiplash still became a defining “highest of highs” moment. From there, she shares what changed when she moved up into Midwest Modifieds, why a bent and unpredictable car forced tough decisions, and what she's excited about in her updated ride with a black chassis, hot pink decking, and the 82JR number. If you're into dirt oval racing, short track racing, or the behind-the-scenes of chassis setup, her details will feel familiar and useful.The heart of the episode is what it takes off the track: long workdays, late shop nights, weekly maintenance, travel time, and the reality that sponsorship pays for the basics like tires, fuel, and replacement parts. We also get real about women in motorsports, why some tracks still see very few female racers, and practical ways to bring more girls and kids into racing so the sport doesn't fade.If you liked this conversation, subscribe to the podcast, share it with a racing friend, and leave a review so more fans can find these stories.

Episode 181 is on the scene and we end our 2026 Kulwicki Driver Development Program Series with third generation star Penn Sauter. Penn who is the son of former Craftsman Truck Series Champion Johnny Sauter and grandson of the legendary Midwestern competitor Jim talks to us about his upcoming season growing up in a racing family and if he faces any pressure to live up to the Sauter name and reputation. Kristian Armstead grew up in Michigan but has settled in nicely in the South Boston area of Virginia racing in the Hornets Division. Last Saturday during Danville Toyota Race Night, him and his small team of three's hard work paid off with his first win ever at the speedway. Kristian joins us to discuss his career so far, what it means for him to win at a speedway that has seen so many legends do the same and overcoming some of the faster cars to claim his first win of what he hopes to be many. Julian was at SoBo on Saturday and the boys reviewed the other racing action from the Halifax County facility. From Trevor Ward picking up twin second place finishes to Peyton Sellers and Johnny Layne adding to their impressive career win totals in Late Models and Pure Stocks respectively to Jacob Derrick's late pass on Drew Dawson to win in Limiteds, it was quite the opening day for three of the track's four divisions. We spoke with Bobby McCarty following his win in the second race. For McCarty, it has been a struggle the last few seasons getting his new team up and going and yes, there were times he thought it was over for him. Saturday proved otherwise by returning to victory lane just like Lee Pulliam did two weeks ago. The SMART Modified Tour invaded Dominion Raceway on Saturday in a race absolutely dominated by Carson Loftin who grabbed his first win of 2026. We give our breakdown of the event which leads us to Hickory this weekend which we also preview.The zMAX CARS Tour boogies on down to Nashville Fairgrounds this weekend and DLN gives you the scoop on what it means for the tour and who will take home the checkered in both the Pro Late Models and Late Model Stocks in our race preview!We also discuss William Sawalich's first win in the O'Reilly Series, whether Corey Heim should be Chase Eligible while leading the points in the Truck Series despite missing two races (he's won two of the three he's been in) and whether Rockingham should always host an Easter Weekend O'Reilly/Craftsman Truck, ARCA triple header as we review the weekend from the Rock.We also dive into some of the other winners from the Mid Atlantic Region, Ice Breaker talk from Thompson, a preview of the triple header from Bristol and more this week on DLN.A special thanks to our sponsorsTyler Hash: Virginia Farm BureauALARS Inc
