Rico Abreu took time out of his busy schedule, beating down on the High Limit Racing Series competition, to drop by the Lucas Oil Studio and discuss his current stretch of dominance in dirt racing.

This week we recap Duane's visit to Kokomo for the High Limit Series event, where our friend Rico Abreu took the checkered flag at the finish line over Justin Peck.

We talk about the social media swarm that ensued over the topic of smart watches. We also talk about Duane's AFCS weekend, T-Mac getting back to victory lane (twice) and other racing news from the area!
Did we get a simple slip of the tongue from Jonathan Davenport, or an admission of a big change to his car? We'll talk about that plus Rico Abreu's not fun win, multiple winless streaks broken, and we are absolutely not going to talk about more qualifying wings that showed up at Williams Grove.
