Carolina Crate Modified Series Champion Cody Norman

Episode 160 is on the scene and we welcome the 2025 Carolina Crate Modified Champion Cody Norman to the show. Cody wrapped up his second career Carolina Crate Modified title on Saturday at Orange County Speedway and he discusses the weekend that saw the tour pay tribute to his friend Robbie Brewer. We discuss his season which saw him reel off  4 wins, 8 top 3s, 9 top 5s and one pole in 11 starts, being a third generation racer, preparing for the upcoming North South Shootout, aspirations to run on the SMART Modified Tour and his thoughts on how to grow the Carolina Crate Modified Division. We discuss a wild night at Tri County which featured a photo finish in the South Atlantic Pro Series event that saw Max Reaves defeat Brett Suggs and a controversial Late Model event which saw Thomas Beane's night come to a crashing end also involving Max Reaves eventually giving Graham Hollar the win and Landon Huffman the championship. The Orange Blossom Shootout went to Jared Fryar but the event featured a spirited battle between him, Parker Eatmon and Darren Krantz Jr. We give our take on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour finale and discuss Austin Beers becoming the youngest tour champion in history and what the new schedule announcement for next year means for the overall state of the tour. The Championship Four are all set in the Craftsman Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series for Phoenix this weekend. We discuss the scenarios that will not allow Corey Heim and Connor Zilisch to capitalize with championships during their dominant and historic seasons and who may step up to overtake them. The Cup Series doesn't have a definitive favorite as the championship four is as even as you can get. We discuss if Kyle Larson can win his second Cup or can Chase Briscoe, Denny Hamlin and William Byron win their first. All this plus the latest in short track news and more on DLN!
