Valley Star 300 Review & Brandon Ward

Episode 55 is on the scene with analysis and reaction for the 2023 running of the Valley Star Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway. Hear from the biggest stars in Late Model Racing as they share their thoughts about racing for a Grandfather Clock. Brandon White with NASCAR Roots joins us to help break down the biggest and richest Late Model Stock Car race of the year. Trevor Ward not only got the biggest win of his career but also stamped his place in history by winning the Virginia Triple Crown. We discuss how big an impact this win is and dive into the duel that took place between himself and Landon Huffman. Speaking of Huffman, we reveal that this was his first LMSC race at the historic track, if he should've moved Ward out of the way to win and how happy team owner Barry Nelson is these days following very difficult times to start the season. We also break down the heat races,  how Bobby McCarty's dominant day turned into a smokeshow and much more including comments from the top five finishers on Sunday!

Justin Mincey of the SMART Modified Tour joins us to help us break down the upcoming Radford Race honoring legend Paul "The Ferrum Flash" Radford. He also helps us welcome the 2023 Brad's Golf Cars Modified Champion from Bowman Gray Stadium and most recent winner on the SMART Modified tour powered by Pace-O-Matic Brandon Ward. Ward tells us about the win at Carteret County, preparing for one of his favorite tracks at Pulaski County Motorsports and how he was able to win a championship without winning a single race this year at Bowman Gray along with many other topics. He also reveals a shocking fact about his career and how he's getting ready to run at the famed North Wilkesboro Speedway on Saturday for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour the day before the SMART tour event at Pulaski County. 

We breakdown the Cup Series race at Texas and preview the shooting match that is Talladega for this weekend plus talk the next stop on the GXS Street stock Series at Tri-County, the Grand National Super Series at Dominion and much more!
