Talia Davood is an Iranian, first generation American, undergraduate student at UCLA and an elected USAC General Representative. This past year she has shown up with tremendous courage, clarity, and sheer resilience. In April, Talia organized an event where former Hamas held hostage Omer Shemtov came to share his story of captivity, an event attended by hundreds of people. While the event was taking place, a condemnation letter from a fellow student council member was published, framing the event as insensitive to the Palestinian cause, and questioning the security presence that was there to protect over 350 attendees, security that any event of that size is fully eligible. Talia responded with her own letter, one that she read aloud at a subsequent student council meeting that was direct, rational, and completely dismantled every allegation. Talia doesn't just push back, she's pushes toward. She is doing the work to build real bridges across faith communities, finding common ground with students who want to move forward together, even amidst deep divides.For more, you can follow the show on Instagram @GraceforimpactpodcastProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

Mansfield Speedway's first big weekend drew packed crowds and six-figure paydays — but what happened on the track left drivers fuming and two rival chassis builders grabbing heavy equipment in the middle of the night. We break down the good, the bad, and why this $8 million gamble isn't done yet.

We've joined up with the guys from Knoxville Nights to draft teams of sprint car drivers, but there are rules and some guys can't be taken. It's on you to decide who got the best team. Plus it was just a fun excuse to get together and talk racing.

Huset's Speedway is dangling a $100,000 bounty to lure High Limit drivers away from Super Dirt Cup — but will it actually work when the biggest names are already committed to Skagit? Plus, a Hall of Fame late model driver switches chassis brands, Ryan Gustin makes a surprising move, and Bobby Pierce's Show-Me 100 charge was one for the ages.

A sprint car driver is on an absolute tear that could rewrite the second half of the season, a 46-year-old fill-in keeps defying expectations, and the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series championship standings look nothing like anyone predicted. We break down the hottest streak in dirt racing, a temporary ride that's not done yet, and $75,000 on the line at the Show-Me 100.

What does it really mean to push an industry forward without losing sight of the people climbing on your walls? On this episode of the Impact Driver Podcast, host Holly Chen invited Rylan Marshall-Meistrich (he/him) into the studio to hear his answer. Rylan has been climbing since 2004 and setting since 2005, starting out at ROCK'n & JAM'n (now The Spot Thornton), one of Colorado's earliest climbing gyms. He then worked at Planet Granite in San Francisco and a stint in Tahoe before returning to Colorado in 2017 as head setter at Movement Boulder. Now, Rylan is Movement's Colorado Director of Setting. With nearly two decades of setting experience, Rylan has set at nearly every discipline of USA Climbing nationals and holds a USAC Level 5 certification. Outside the gym, he runs a small recording studio in his basement and has been playing music since middle school—a side of him that shows up more in his setting philosophy than you might expect. General Topics Covered What is a routesetter's job, really?  Setting for your audience: from professional athletes to the birthday party room Setting for yourself: when it can serve the climber and when it only serves yourself The fine line between creativity versus usability The impermanence problem: why routesetting innovation often has to happen slowly and what that means for setters trying to push the envelope  How trends move through the industry and the difference between duplication and emulation  The difference between vertical and lateral career progression in routesetting  The USAC pipeline, online presence, and how setters are building reputations in a more competitive field Where competition bouldering is heading, and an honest reckoning with what experience actually means with a long career Show Notes Movement Gyms Colorado Necessity Breeds Invention – the Impact Driver Podcast with Andy Nelson On Eye-Pro, Ugly Boulders, and Influencers – the Impact Driver Podcast with Kegan Minock Lessons From the Sharp End of Modern Setting – the Impact Driver Podcast with Mike Bockino Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon Born from the Climbing Life: Episode 4—Drifter's Escape—The World's Hardest Trad Climb Closing Notes If you'd like to nominate someone as a guest next guest, have a topic you want to see us tackle or have questions, we'd love for you to reach out.

It's a tale of two sprint car seasons: Brent Marks is searching for sponsors and speed after his deal with Fenton fell apart, while Aaron Reutzel can't stop winning and is pulling away in the High Limit championship.

La salida de Consuelo Porras no significa que todas las batallas institucionales terminaron.

After 200+ World of Outlaws starts and a legendary motorsports career, Kasey Kahne finally breaks through with his first career Outlaw win — and it came in a ride many doubted he belonged in. Plus, a heat race incident at the Grove leads to a helmet swing, a disqualification, and some fiery words.

Ashton Torgerson is suddenly out of the Shark Racing 1A after Jacob Allen decides to park the team — and the reason goes deeper than on-track results. We break down what's really behind the move, what's next for both sides, and the latest from Illinois Speedweek.

A sprint car driver is caught wet grinding tires right before a World of Outlaws feature at Lincoln Speedway — and still starts on the front row. We break down the controversy, the rulebook loopholes, and why this story might not be over yet.

Hunt the Front bought their hometown dirt track and started filming everything — the good, the bad, and the 30-year-old wiring buried six inches underground. What their renovation is revealing about the state of dirt tracks across America.

Ryan Timms just snapped a 34-race winless streak, but what happened during those seven months might matter more than the win itself. Plus, weekend recaps from Lucas, the World of Outlaws late models, and High Limit, and a new ride announcement you need to know about.

Tire doping penalties just got a major overhaul, and many of the big dirt late model series are on the same page. We break down the new three-tier penalty structure, what it means for teams, and why Shannon Babb's recent case was the first glimpse of these changes in action.

Shannon Babb's tire test failure brings a surprisingly light penalty from the World of Outlaws—and his team's explanation raises more questions than it answers. Plus, Bobby Pierce reclaims the points lead, and three sprint car ride shakeups.

Kasey Kahne is back in a sprint car, filling in for an injured driver across 10 races in May. Plus, a top World of Outlaws team tried something unusual, Sunday recaps, and a look ahead to this week's High Limit action.

A sprint car driver just got banned from Port Royal Speedway for an entire year — not for anything he did on the track, but for what he said in victory lane. Was the punishment justified, or did the track go way too far?

A chaotic night at Eagle Raceway shakes up the High Limit season, with Carson Macedo debuting new Ford power and Corey Day charging to victory. Plus, a heated Buddy Kofoid vs. Tyler Courtney finish at Haubstadt sparks controversy, and another sprint car driver injury raises concerns.
