Brandon Carr

Episode 186 is on the scene! Brandon Carr is an 18 year old racer from the UK who is looking to make his mark in the United States. He's won British Karting championships including the prestigious Kartmasters Championship. For the past couple of years, he has set his sights on becoming a NASCAR driver. His journey has taken him from the dirt tracks driving for Keith Kunz Motorsports to victory lane in the first IHRA Stock Car Series Pro Late Model event at Pulaski County Motorsports Park. Brandon joins us this week to talk about his unique journey from across the pond and the adjustments he had to make visiting some of the South's toughest short tracks for the first time. He also tells us how he hooked up with Setzer Development, which Daytona 500 winning Crew Chief has been his mentor and some advise he has received from Kaden Honeycutt.

Speaking of Honeycutt, he made history over the weekend by not only winning his first ARCA Menards and Craftsman Truck Series events of his career at Watkins Glen on Friday but capturing a sweep of both the CARS Tour Pro and Late Model Stock events at Ace Speedway on Saturday. We spoke to Kaden about his unique accomplishment. We also review the entire weekend from Ace where you will hear comments from Pro Late Model runner up Jake Johnson, Late Model runner up Treyten Lapcevich, points leader Caden Kvapil and Doug Barnes Jr. Are we overplaying the Honeycutt sweep from the weekend? We will also discuss that topic and more.

Just when you think Shane Van Gisbergen has amazed you enough on road courses, he does something even more amazing. He made up nearly 30 seconds on the track on Sunday on a long green flag run and ended up winning by nearly 8 seconds. Is he already the best of all time? We debate plus we discuss what happened with the Hendrick cars on Sunday, the Ryan Preece appeal from Texas, why the All Star race in Dover just doesn't feel right and other stories coming out of Watkins Glen.

We also discuss what happened at Pulaski County Motorsports which reminds us to give a shout out to Jesse King who was our guest contributor on Saturday. All of this plus short track spotlight, dubs and a whole lot more this week on DLN!!
