Kyle Dudley & Gary Smith

Kyle Dudley & Gary Smith

Episode 137 is on the scene and we welcome back Kyle Dudley back to the show. Kyle has had a lot of success over the last year. From becoming the 100th winner at South Boston Speedway to winning the pole for two of the three Virginia Triple Crown races last season to winning multiple races at Franklin County Raceway including this past Saturday night. The biggest win of his career came five weeks ago when his first child was born. We discuss what being a dad is like, when she's going to drink formula out of a funnel like her dad does and how many races she's already been to. It's always a fun conversation with Kyle so you don't want to miss it!

Gary Smith also joins us. Smith competes at Franklin County Raceway in both the Stock 4 and Legends Division and he secured a win on Saturday in the Legends division. He also races at Shenandoah & at Natural Bridge Speedway and explains how he got his start in racing during Covid and what he wants to accomplish in his career going forward.


We preview the upcoming Kenny Minter Classic presented by Clarence's Steakhouse for the SMART Modified Tour this Friday at Franklin County Raceway and the upcoming ASA STARS National Tour events from Hickory and Newport this weekend.

With the dominant win from Landen Lewis on Friday, we discuss if he is the new driver that everyone needs to be gunning to beat on tour now that he has back to back wins on the CARS Tour. We breakdown the event at North Wilkesboro that saw the tour race on national, traditional television and debate whether the Pro Late Model and Late Model Stock races should run on seperate days going forward.


We review the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro which saw Christopher become "Million Dollar Bell." We discuss if the track should obtain a points race and where the All Star race should go and which co-host is leaning towards eliminating stage breaks after the random caution that came out on Sunday.

We make our picks for Charlotte, Indy and more this week on DLN!
