Lonesome Pine Raceway Promoter Joey Owens

Episode 210 is on the scene and we venture out into the Coal Fields of Coeburn Virginia with the promoter of Lonesome Pine Raceway Joey Owens. Joey is on our show this week to talk about the first running of the Coalfield Classic this weekend at Lonesome Pine Raceway. The $10,000 to win Late Model looks to be an annual Halloween weekend and Joey tells about how it came together, the reason for its name, thoughts on the CARS Tour coming there in 2027, how Flo Racing got involved in this race and more!

We share our thoughts of the recent news coming out of Florence Motor Speedway after they announced that they will not be hosting events in 2027 as of this moment. We discuss the ripple effects this will have in short track racing and how this will impact asphalt racing in the state of South Carolina and more.

Kyle Larson has inched closer to his third Cup Series Championship following his first Drafting Style Track win in his career coming at Talladega on Sunday. We discuss whether or not NASCAR should've issued a penalty for his tires on the yellow line which is out of bounds at Talladega, whether team orders were in play, how he was able to come back from outside of the top ten in turn three on the last lap to win, hard impacts for Joey Logano & Riley Herbst and if RFK Racing's unique pit strategy has revealed an issue with stage racing and the fuel saving that came along with it.

We also discuss the O Reilly and Truck Series races from Talladega which were swept by Sammy Smith, the Orange Blossom Shootout from Orange County, the Carolina Crate Modified race for the championship, dubs from the weekend and a preview of the weekend of racing including a trifecta at Martinsville Speedway.

All of this and the hosts discuss their past Halloween experiences, their favorite candies and much more this week on DLN!
