Episode 180 is on the scene and we review our visits to the "Paper clip at Martinsville Speedway and the track known as America's Favorite Bullring at Wake County Speedway in North Carolina from over the weekend.

We discuss the Cookout 400 Cup Series event. Chase Elliott picked up his first win of the year and second at the paper clip while putting respect on his crew chief Alan Gustafson's name. We discuss Denny Hamlin's day which started out dominant but ended up with an on track confrontation with Ryan Blaney, a vibration and coming up second behind Elliott. We debate if Ty Gibbs is the hottest driver on the circuit with his fifth straight event finishing no worse than sixth, the Bubba Wallace vs Carson Hocevar incident and whether this race exceeded expectations. Plus you will get to hear from some of the top finishers of the event.

Lee Pulliam made his O'Reilly Auto Parts debut Saturday and ended up in fifth place in what was an eventful debut for him. We discuss that, Justin Allgaier's win, Corey Day's rise to the front and the continued success of Viking Motorsports with comments from some of the top finishers including Pulliam.

Stephen Kopcik picked up his first NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour win at Martinsville and you will hear from this young man following his battle with Ron Silk on Saturday night. Silk also talks with Jody about his run and we discuss Austin Beers continuation of history and the new points leader Tyler Rypkema,

The CARS Tour visited America's Favorite Bullring at Wake County Speedway. When the smoke and the fuel had settled, Conner Jones picked up a win after he ran out of gas late in the going. We spoke with Conner along with some of the other top finishers of the event as there was a lot to be said! We discuss what led to so many folks running out of gas, why there was so much carnage in the event, Clay Jones being black flagged, Mini vs Doug Barnes Jr round two & more.

In part four of our Kulwicki Driver Development Driver Program series, we welcome Ryley Music to the show. The grandson of Langley Speedway legend Phil Warren talks about his career so far, where he got his start in racing, representing Alan Kulwicki as an Underbird this year and so much more from the budding Virginia racing star.

We preview the upcoming SMART Modified Tour event at Dominion Raceway and talk about the parity on the tour thus far as only one driver on tour having a top five in every race and two having a top ten in each race. We break down all the stories heading into the race and give you our picks.

Other topics include should Max Reaves go full heel, the ARCA Menards East race at Hickory, a preview of the action from Rockingham this weekend, short track spotlight, dubs and how many hot dogs we added to the Martinsville total on another episode of DLN!
