Kyle Rickey of MRN and Stafford Speedway joins Davey Segal (7:00) to discuss his career in radio, motorsports and how the two have converged going on the better part of two plus decades. He recalls the day he was legally allowed to work at a radio station (his birthday), why he was infatuated with radio from a young age, how monster trucks sparked his interest in motorsports and growing up in the Northeast with a unique racing culture surrounding him. He also dives into how he got hooked up with the Motor Racing Network, his audition at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, duties he currently holds and has held over the years, his first Daytona 500 and Rolex 24 broadcasts and more.

In this week's Episode, Jack visits with three drivers in three different stages in their career.After 21 years in NASCAR's premier level Cup series, Newman left Cup and entered semiretirement. It is a semiretirement because while he spends much of his time on his farm and raising his two daughters, The Rocket Man as he is called also runs some “one off” short track events and is chasing this year's SRX Championship. Jack got a chance to sit down with Newman when SRX was at his family's Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut and let's just say, that visit is THE most unusual and humorous interviews that has ever done for Wind Tunnel.This week's Advance Auto Parts Victory Lap travels out to Monroe Washington and spotlights a 17 year old driver, Haley Constance who is pursuing her dream to become a national Late Model Champion and hones her craft at the Evergreen Speedway.And Will Power drops by and we unpack his newfound approach to his IndyCar career.

Davey Segal welcomes on pit reporter Mike Massaro (9:10) to discuss his extensive career in motorsports broadcasting. Starting in the Northeast at Stafford Speedway, Massaro outlines why he gravitated towards the microphone rather than a steering wheel, tells some hilarious stories from the track involving legends Mike Joy and Jack Arute and how that sent him on a path to work in racing. He also details his first time meeting Dale Earnhardt while auditioning for MRN Radio, his time at Inside NASCAR on TNN, how Allen Bestwick helped him land that job along the way, landing at ESPN to help spearhead their NASCAR coverage and the unthinkable first assignment he was put on: the 2001 Daytona 500. Massaro explains why coverage at the event was a logistical nightmare, how they navigated it, the delicate nature covering an event like that race takes, lessons learned that year and how they were applied in 2014 while covering the Tony Stewart/Kevin Ward Jr. incident. After leaving ESPN due to the NASCAR television rights change, Massaro landed at NBC Sports for a short period of time. He explains why he left that job for the betterment of his own mental health, but why he wishes he didn't all these years later. He also discusses the here and now: being back on pit road for MAVTV covering the ARCA Menards Series with many familiar faces, how that opportunity came up and how good it felt to put the headset back on. Plus, what is there still left for him to accomplish in broadcasting? Davey briefly touches on Denny Hamlin's Richmond Raceway victory, provides an update on his time dealing with COVID-19 and Papa Segal pays homage to "The King Maker."
