Episode 45 is on the scene as Boo Carlisle joins Jody and Julian as a guest host for this special episode! This week features part one of our salute to the USAR Hooters Cup Series. The Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour was a product of the USAR Hooters Cup Series that ran from 1997-2014. This year, the CARS Tour's annual throwback race from Hickory pays tribute to its roots with throwback paint schemes along with drivers from that era making appearances.
Shane Huffman was one of the pillars of the original USAR Hooters Cup Series. The two time series champion won 28 races and 24 pole positions among many accolades. He joins us this week on the podcast to talk about his early days racing at Hickory Motor Speedway, his early struggles on the Pro Cup tour, earning his first win at New River All-American Speedway and obtaining sponsorship from Johnsonville Sausage and how big that was at the time. He discusses his first million dollar deal, how he found out he was replacing his friend at JR Motorsports and how he attracted the attention of Dale Earnhardt Jr in the first place. He describes the championship in the Pro Cup Tour that got away, some of his toughest competitors and which bull ring was his favorite among other topics! Shane told so many stories that it was a lot to fit into one episode so there will be a part two coming up next week!
The guys break down the events from Bowman Gray from this past weekend and discuss Landon Huffman being disqualified at South Boston after being protested by Carter Langley's team. Should the local late model tracks and the CARS Tour work together to develop a rule book that benefits everyone? The boys discuss.
This weekend is the Hampton Heat from Larry King Law's Langley Speedway. The second event of the Virginia Triple Crown is typically a hot one and the boys break down the event and give their picks!
We also talk Martin Truex Jr's dominant win at New Hampshire, Justin Bonsignore's exciting modified win and Luke Fenhaus overcoming losing the Slinger Nationals to win the ARCA race at Iowa plus a lot more!!
