For The Love of F45's, Donovan Strauss and Kaleb Hall

For The Love of F45's, Donovan Strauss and Kaleb Hall

Episode 101 is on the scene and we are discussing the love for F45's in response to the tire situation that has been a subject of conversation all season long on the CARS Tour. We discuss the impact of the switch back to the Hoosier F45's from the controversial ST2's plus give our analysis of Friday's Drive For Puryear 125 from Wake County Speedway. Landen Lewis added his name to a growing list of winners on the tour this season and we discuss that, the incident between him and teammate Brent Crews, the points shake up and how some of the local ringers did. 

Donovan Strauss is a name rising through the short track ranks that you need to keep an eye out on. The Philadelphia native is in the midst of his first full year running late models at Florence Speedway in Florence South Carolina and joins the podcast this week. We discuss his recent breakthrough win at Florence in weekly competition, his upcoming CARS Tour debut, his start in racing, competing in ESports, his successful Legends career and love for the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Kaleb Hall has been around the sport his entire life. Growing up near Franklin County Speedway in Virginia, he was always destined to try his hand in racing at the track. Over the weekend, he scored his first ever win in the Rookie Division and notched two three place finishes in Stock 4. He joins the show to discuss this, his Visual Works Company and any secrets he may have about his Co-Host Uncle Julian. 

We discuss Harrison Burton's upset win at Daytona and the impact the 100th win for the Wood Brothers has on the industry, how this win disrupts the playoffs, keeping cars on the ground after two more blowovers and who has the edge at Darlington in the regular season finale among more topics. 

Layne Riggs may have separated his shoulder celebrating his first win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series but it didn't put a damper on breaking through the win column on what has been a tough year for the former CARS Tour star and South Boston Speedway weekly competitor

Speaking of South Boston, we set the stage for Halifax County Farm Bureau Championship Night this weekend at South Boston Speedway. Who will come out of this as season long champion in the Sentara Late Models, Budweiser Limited Sportsman, Southside Disposal Pure Stock and VSP HEAT Hornet Divisions? You will need to listen to find out.

We also preview the upcoming SMART Modified Tour doubleheader from New River All-American Speedway and Carteret County Speedway this weekend, STAR Super Stock Tour race from Florence, review championship night at Bowman Gray Stadium and so much more on a jam packed episode of DLN!
