Daytona 500 breakdown continues with motor sports insider Kurt Hansen. But first, former Trans Am Series champion Tomy Drissi joins the show to chat with Kurt about the Trans Am season opener. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
He's a racing champion, but until 2021, few knew of 24-year-old racing phenom Ernie Francis, Jr. This piqued the curiosity of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis who welcome him to the table to learn about a racer that industry insiders can't talk enough about.Francis broke through with a big win in Tony Stewart and Ray Evernham's SRX Series (Superstar Racing Experience) at Indianapolis Raceway Park last summer. The win came against some of the best racers in motorsports and sent shockwaves across much of the sport. Who was this kid? Well, first off he's a seven-time Champion on the Trans-Am circuit. His recent success brought a call from motorsports legend Roger Penske, who tabbed him to be one of his up-and-coming stars. Francis details the call that changed his life and unexpectedly shifted his career path from stock cars to open-wheel racecars where he'll compete full-time for Force Indy in the 2022 Indy Lights Series. The goal? Building experience and a team capable of stepping up in a few years to compete in the Indianapolis 500.Francis' first opportunities in racing came with a lot less fanfare. As a child, he hung around and worked at his father's speed shop on the coast of Southern Florida. The family connection to speed took him from go-karts to his first racecar at the age of 13. From there, he honed his skills racing Mazda Miatas until the big decision to enter the Trans-Am Series. There, young Ernie blossomed, racing a beast of a racecar against some of the best road racers in America. He dipped his toes into the Stock Car oval-track world racing Late Models and K&N East races in NASCAR's diversity program too. But, it was the shot in SRX that put kid-Francis on the map.Where else would he race in 2022? Francis spilled the beans about his future with SRX.Before the show started, Dale and Mike chat about their recent trip to Daytona to watch racecars and promote vodka. From the High Rock party at the historic Streamline Hotel, to the ups and downs of the NASCAR Xfinity race, it was a trip full of surprises. None more surprising than the fun times had by family inside the racetrack. Dale reveals Amy and Isla's newfound love of the infield track experience. They also dive into the Great American race, its massive crowd, and the big-bad tangles that "Bad" Brad Keselowski was a part of.Sadly, it's Leah Vaughn's last show, which has all in DJD-land sad, but she brings it one last time for a wildly entertaining AskJr segment. From racecars losing wheels, to drive-shafts going through Dale Earnhardt's windshield, it's full of great moments. We also learn about the level of interest from Dale about space travel and, of all things, Chinchillas. Or was it a rabbit?

March Miller | Race Car DriverMarc Miller began racing karts at the age of 11. He has competed successfully in kart racing, formula cars, stock cars and now sportscars, giving him a reputation of being fast and versatile in any race series. With hundreds of wins and titles in karting, Miller has competed in all the major sportscar series in North America, from Trans Am to GT3 series such as World Challenge and IMSA. His consistency was noticed by Riley Motorsports who drafted him into their squad for the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans driving the Dodge Viper GTS-R in 2015. His preparation for the most famous race in the World included driving the team's #93 Viper GTS-R at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, CA in May 2015 where he qualified second and led during the opening stint of the race. For 2016, Marc was secured as the 3rd driver for the #33 Gas Monkey Energy / Viper Exchange / Riley Motorsports team for all of the endurance events, including the Rolex 24-Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans and tentatively, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Due to the Viper team being far down on the reserve list, it had looked like Miller would not return to Le Mans in 2016, but he was picked up by WeatherTech Racing / Proton Competition to compete in the #89 WeatherTech Porsche 911 RSR to complete an All-American line-up alongside Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen.2018 saw Miller move around all over the globe. Starting the year with a win in his first official Trans Am Series event with Stevens-Miller Racing in a Dodge Challenger at Sebring, Miller returned to Sebring to compete with newly re-organized, Gradient Racing (formerly CJ Wilson Racing) in their newly acquired Acura NSX GT3. Miller would also compete in the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen, then immediately head to Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium to race with Black Swan Racing in their Porsche GT3R at the Spa 24. He would also join the squad for the Suzuka 10 Hour as well and return yet again in 2019 with Black Swan Racing team at Watkins Glen and the Michelin Encore at Sebring, where the team podiumed. The main focus of 2019 was a focused assault for the Trans Am title with Stevens-Miller Racing. Miller scored 3 poles, 4 wins and 8 podiums enroute to the TA2 title for the team and the first outright title for Dodge in the 53-year history of the series. His focus on data acquisition, engineering, car development and ingenuity was rewarded with the inaugural SUNOCO MARKE DONOHUE TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE AWARD to compliment his Trans am title at the yea- end awards gala. Miller also competed alongside his long-time teammate, Till Bechtolsheimer, in the SRO Blancpain America GT Series (now GT World Challenge America) in the Gradient Racing Acura NSX GT3 EVO, scoring 3 podiums and a win (Mosport Park) on their way to 4th in the championship. Highlights of Miller's career include driving on world-renowned racetracks like Le Mans, Circuit of the Americas, and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. In addition to competing professionally, Miller works as a professional driving coach with drivers across the state of Michigan, midwest and the entire United States & Canada.When he is not at race events, at a speaking engagement, teaching seminars or helping to train drivers throughout the country, Miller enjoys spending time with his family including his better half, Tabitha and her daughter, Vera, and his two sons, Evan & Seth. Marc makes a point to have an active lifestyle in West Michigan biking, kayaking, hiking and boating or working on vintage motorcycles.Listen as Joseph and Marc speak about Racing To Success!

RJ Valentine discovered a way to combine his passion for automobiles and racing in to his business. He’s raced for over 40 years with over 400 pro starts including the Trans Am Series. He’s won the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, driven for PTG Motorsports, and competed in the Grand-Am GT series. A lifetime entrepreneur, he founded the MBA Group in 1969 and one of their many successes was the Jiffy Lube franchise and Lo-Jack Car Security Systems. In 2000 he opened F1 Boston, a European-style indoor kart racetrack and then an outdoor track in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. His Safety Systems created a new barrier system for racetracks and today he’s opened New Jersey Motorsports Park and a trackside Exotics Car Garages.
