The episode also covers WEC at Imola, WRC Rally Islas Canarias, MotoGP/Moto2 at Jerez, NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, and a NASCAR Cup & Xfinity preview for Talladega including the Tate Fogleman Algorithm. Josh lets us know everything going on in iRacing on the Sim Segment before we call it a show.

Rodney Childers speaking about his weekend at the Cars Tour Race at Ace Speedway; Cole Hilton, Modified Mafia Tour winner at County Line Raceway; and Ayden Millette, Langley Speedway winner are this week's guests.

Ryan Timms, Knoxville Raceway 410 Sprint Car winner; Rodney Childers spewing about his weekend at the Cars Tour race; and Trey Osborne, Montpelier Speedway winner are this week's guests.

Episode 135 is on the scene and while most of the Mid Atlantic did not race due to rain, the zMAX CARS Tour and Ace Speedway dodged the rain drops just enough to get the entire Late Model race in and over half the Pro Late Model show in to make that official. Landen Lewis picked up his second career win on tour on Saturday and he joins us this week from the shops of Kevin Harvick Incorporated. We discuss racing vs the rain, having legendary crew chief Rodney Childers in his pit stall, the continued support given to him by Hall of Famer Ron Hornaday and what has been the key to getting this team within five points of Connor Hall in the championship points race.Speaking of which, we give exclusive breakdowns of both the Late Model and Pro Late model event from Ace, should penalties had been assessed to some teams who had flat tires that brought out yellows, and give a state of the Tour following the first third of the season with three drivers separated by five points in the title hunt. The Cup Series ran at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday and we review the roller coaster day that saw Joey Logano end up in victory lane from his 27th starting spot. Does Penske Racing seem to have gotten their groove back with two straight wins? How about this racing we see at Texas? Did the boys like what they saw? Nathan Byrd obtained his career best finish on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driving for Young's Motorsports on Friday at Texas.  The Arizona turned Indiana native joins us to tell us about his career that started off as male cheerleader with racing not being on his radar. His radar eventually led him to karting and after running many disciplines of racing, he had dreams of running the Indy 500 which his family either sponsored entries or owned them. That dream did not come to pass but an entry into the fast speedways of NASCAR opened up and his story is one of the best we have ever told on this program!We serve up a few dubs from the weekend, tell you who's racing in the Mid Atlantic this weekend while we preview the action from Kansas & much more fun this week on DLN!

In a shocking announcement, co-owners Tony Stewart and Gene Haas revealed that Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) will cease operations at the conclusion of the 2024 NASCAR season, marking the end of an era for the championship-winning team. The decision did not come lightly, as Stewart and Haas acknowledged the immense commitment and resources required to compete at the highest level of motorsports. Despite their success, which includes two NASCAR Cup Series titles in 2011 and 2014, the duo felt it was time to "pass the torch" due to the demanding nature of the sport. Established in 2009 through a partnership between Stewart and Haas, SHR quickly rose to prominence, with Stewart capturing the team's inaugural NASCAR Cup Series win at Pocono Raceway that same year. The following seasons saw the team expand to a four-car operation, adding drivers like Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, and Danica Patrick to their roster. Harvick's arrival in 2014 proved to be a pivotal moment, as he and crew chief Rodney Childers delivered SHR's second Cup championship that same year. SHR's impact on the sport is undeniable. The team has collected 69 Cup wins, 339 top-five finishes, and 695 top-ten finishes throughout its tenure. Despite the impending closure, Stewart and Haas have vowed to maintain their commitment to their personnel, partners, and fans through the 2024 season finale at Phoenix Raceway. The team will work diligently to assist their employees in finding new opportunities beyond the 2024 race season.
