(00:00-27:54) – Query & Company opens a Friday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the Indiana Pacers with General Manager Chad Buchanan joining JMV yesterday to discuss drafting Braden Smith and potentially breaking up the core group of players for the right guy to get an impactful player. Jake plays some of the comments that Buchanan made and draws parallel between Braden Smith and Anthony Richardson. (27:54-41:12) – There is racing going on next week at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

(49:04-1:18:00) – Jake Query tips off the second hour of Query & Company by getting more into the polarization of Caitlin Clark on social media.

(1:18:00-1:31:55) – Every Friday on Query & Company is a Good For The Heart Friday and Jake shares a feel-good story sponsored by Franciscan Health.

A driver with six championships somehow flew under the radar as a big-race threat — until a $100,000 win last weekend changed the conversation entirely. We make the case for who the most dangerous sprint car driver in the country really is, plus new details on the Troutman-GR Smith split and a loaded weekend of racing ahead.

A top five World of Outlaws late model team just split up mid-season, and the rumblings about this one had been circulating for weeks before it became official. Plus, a fan-favorite sprint car driver may finally be returning to the seat after nearly three months on the sideline, and the old guys in dirt late model racing are reminding everyone they're not done yet.

My biggest gripe across the sport of dirt racing, and really mostly focused on sprint car racing, is something that happens, or actually doesn't happen, at all of the sport's crown jewel events. I don't understand it, I don't like it, it happened this weekend at Huset's, it's already happened previously this year, and as the prestige of the events ramps up this summer, it's going to happen more.

La discusión sobre la Universidad de San Carlos sigue abierta.En este episodio analizamos (y respondemos) las recientes declaraciones del magistrado Roberto Molina Barreto, su decisión de apartarse de los casos relacionados con la USAC y las implicaciones que esto tiene para la continuidad de Walter Mazariegos al frente de la universidad.También conversamos sobre legitimidad, poder, cortes y opinión pública, así como otros temas que marcaron la agenda de la semana: la controversia en Antigua Guatemala por la caminata del orgullo LGBTQ+, el panorama político tras las elecciones en Colombia y los acontecimientos internacionales que siguen redefiniendo el escenario global.

For 2026 late model speedweeks, we saw the World of Outlaws zag on years of cooperation and schedule a race weekend directly against the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series opener. The move drew mixed opinions at the time, and it split cars in Florida and forced teams to make early decisions on what tour they would follow. No more games on signing up for both series, and deciding later in the spring. I assumed this would be the case again for 2027, but something curious happened this week. We'll dive into that today on DIRTRACKR Daily presented by Horsepower Hydration, which also includes big news for Hunt the Front, we'll also talk sprint cars at Huset's and Skagit, and more.

La Universidad de San Carlos atraviesa uno de los momentos más complejos de su historia reciente.En este episodio conversamos con la vicepresidenta Karin Herrera sobre la situación actual de la USAC, la reelección de Walter Mazariegos, el papel de las cortes, las denuncias de los sancarlistas y el futuro de la universidad pública.Hablamos sobre la frustración de quienes han intentado rescatar la institución, el rol político que ha asumido la universidad en los últimos años y las reformas que podrían devolverle su papel académico y científico.¿Todavía hay esperanza para la USAC?

One illegal decision five years ago set off a chain reaction that reshuffled teams, drivers, and crew chiefs across sprint car racing, and the effects are still shaping championships today. We trace the full timeline, connect the dots you might have missed, and look ahead to the richest week in sprint car racing at Huset's.

Bobby Pierce is dominating with a package that almost nobody else in dirt late model racing is running. I dug into who else is on them and why more teams haven't made the switch. Plus, Brent Marks finally won again, a young Outlaw driver is quietly having the best stretch of his career, and there's a concerning development at a well-known Ohio dirt track.

He's been doubted, criticized, and counted out, but last night a polarizing young driver broke through on his birthday — and he did it the hard way from fifth. Meanwhile, the High Limit title race took another wild turn, a late model crossover event has everyone talking, and we've got Indiana Midget Week and weekend previews.

La crisis de la Universidad de San Carlos sigue escalando.En este episodio conversamos con Jennifer de la Cruz y Mario Trejo sobre el estado actual de las acciones legales contra la elección de Walter Mazariegos, las resoluciones de la Corte de Constitucionalidad, el papel de los estudiantes organizados y las implicaciones que este conflicto podría tener para el futuro político e institucional de Guatemala.¿Todavía existen vías legales para revertir el proceso? ¿Qué papel juega la Contraloría General de Cuentas? ¿Por qué la situación de la USAC debería importarle incluso a quienes nunca han estudiado allí?Una conversación necesaria sobre democracia, institucionalidad y poder.

Rico Abreu led every lap at Eagle while most of the High Limit regulars had a night to forget, and the championship standings look completely different this morning. We break down what went wrong for the favorites, why a familiar blue oval logo quietly appeared on a sprint car last night, and what it all means heading into a pivotal stretch.

Steve Post and Ashley Stremme have a great conversation with the driver of the Sides Motorsports 7s on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series tour, Chris Windom. They talk about his season so far, working with Jason Sides, moving from USAC to winged cars, if he misses USAC, family life and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(00:00-27:34) – Query & Company opens a Monday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing how Jake’s travel back from last night’s IndyCar race in St. Louis went. They dive into one of the topics that they will discuss later in the show with Mike Chappell and recap the Fever’s loss on Saturday night to the New York Liberty with Caitlin Clark struggling again. (27:34-37:10) – Josef Newgarden captured the checkered flag in St. Louis for the sixth time in the ten-year history of the race. Jake is asked a couple of questions about last night’s event by people via the textline. (37:10-46:40) – Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison conclude the first hour of the show by discussing some of the names that the Indiana Pacers have been linked to this off-season. Is Giannis Antetokounmpo a legitimate option? (46:40-1:12:34) – The Dean, Mike Chappell, from FOX59 & CBS4 joins Jake Query to start discussing some storylines that the Indianapolis Colts will need to figure out leading up to the season and throughout the season. Do they have a running back that can spell Jonathan Taylor? Where will the Indianapolis Colts get their pass rush production from? Plus, they discuss all the issues that are going on in sports with athletes gambling. (1:12:34-1:24:01) – Earlier in the show, Eddie said there was something he noticed when watching the New York Knicks defeat the San Antonio Spurs in game two of the NBA Finals. Jake reacts to what Eddie had to say because there should be some mixed emotions by the Indiana Pacers. (1:24:01-1:34:34) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Jake seeing if Eddie can finally correctly guess what Indiana attraction fell on the list of the top 50 list of most overrated attractions in the United States. (1:34:34-1:55:33) – The final hour of the show tips off with John Nolan and Debbie Antonelli joining Jake Query fresh off of eating lunch together to preview tonight’s WNBA Commissioner’s Cup game against the Washington Mystics. They also discuss the shooting troubles for Caitlin Clark offensively, how she is being targeted defensively, and they give Jake some advice on what to do tonight for his special dinner with Shannon. (1:55:33-2:10:04) – USAC driver Gavin Miller joins Jake Query ahead of Indiana Midget Week across the state of Indiana this week. Jake asks him about which track is his favorite to race at, if he has any appreciation for the love that Indiana has for racing based off of how many fans come out and support during this week, and how he views this week after being around for a couple of seasons now. (2:10:04-2:15:6) – Today’s show ends with JMV joining Jake in studio to preview his show!Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A single crash may have blown the World of Outlaws championship wide open, and a tiny Pennsylvania race track might be fighting for its survival against complaints from a neighbor. We cover it all, plus talk Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora, High Limit, and more.

Brent Marks suddenly has the speed he's been missing all year. But outside of his sprint car's wrap, have things changed? We've got the answers, plus sprint car crew chief changes, early action at Eldora, and more.

A 13-year-old racer lost control, left the track, and landed upside down in a river — and the photos are unbelievable. Plus, Tanner Thorson did something you almost never see in racing, and Dream week at Eldora is here with 87 cars and one driver chasing history.

La disputa por la Universidad de San Carlos entra en una etapa decisiva.En este episodio de Tan Gente, Luis Miguel Reyes, Xavier Soria y Alejandro Morales analizan las señales que llegan desde la Corte de Constitucionalidad sobre los recursos relacionados con la elección de Walter Mazariegos y el futuro de la USAC. También discuten el papel de los magistrados, la situación de los grupos que impulsan la recuperación de la universidad y los desafíos políticos que enfrenta el movimiento universitario.Además, conversan sobre la presión pública alrededor del caso, el contexto preelectoral, la Ley Antilavado y las implicaciones que estas decisiones podrían tener para el país en los próximos meses.

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.

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.
