zMAX CARS Tour Press Conference with Jeff Burton & Dale Jr plus Andrew Patterson

Episode 64 is on the scene from the zMAX CARS Tour Press Conference from Charlotte Motor Speedway! 

Co-owners Jeff Burton and Dale Earnhardt Jr gave us some time to discuss their thoughts of the first year at the helm of the CARS Tour among other subjects. Dale Jr discusses if his limited schedule behind the wheel helps influence any decisions as an owner, if any awkward conversations take place after he is involved with any on track incidents and where he sees his driver Carson Kvapil's development with JRM. Jeff Burton tells us about promoting races at his home track at South Boston and how surprised he is to be involved with the racing game at this stage of his life.

We discuss the 2024 schedule, the impact of zMAX becoming the new sponsor and Flo Racing continuing to be the television partner for 2024.

We welcome the winner of the Legend's division race during the Thanksgiving Classic from Southern National Speedway Andrew Patterson. He shares having to avoid the preliminary races by finishing well in his heat race that propelled him to winning on Saturday, aspiring to be a late model racer and his opportunites with Sellers Burton Racing and his day job working for Jordan Anderson's NASCAR Xfinity Series team!

We break down the Late Model Portion of the Thanksgiving Classic from Kenly. The guys talk about the epic last 30 laps that everyone is still talking about between Brenden Queen, Kaden Honeycutt and Josh Berry. We discuss Deac McCaskill's hard crash, the hard racing up front, whether Kaden Honeycutt is justified for being upset for the way he was raced, frustration settling in for another podium finish in a big one, ignition wires being ripped out and much more!

We also review the Leftover's Event from Franklin County Speedway that saw the guy who was fourth on the final lap in turn three end up winning the Late Model Feature plus we give our picks for the upcoming Snowball Derby from Five Flags Speedway and the Snowflake 100 plus more this week on DLN!!
