Former Langley Speedway Late Model Track Champion Matt Waltz

Episode 98 is on the scene with former Langley Speedway Late Model Track Champion Matt Waltz. Waltz discusses his recent runs in the CARS Tour and his performance in the Hampton Heat. We discuss his background in the sport and where he got his start in racing. We also dive into his brief NASCAR Xfinity Series career and what the future looks like for the veteran racer.

We breakdown the zMAX CARS Tour Pro and Late Model Stock races from North Wilkesboro Speedway. Tristan McKee continues to add to his impressive resume at just 14 years old with another Pro Late Model win and Treyton Lapcevich becomes the fourth first time winner on the Late Model side. What does this win do for the points as he picked up precious points on Connor Hall? Speaking of Hall, he was involved in a huge crash in the first half of the race and the boys talk about how this may impact the championship and how that accident affected the race. We also marvel at Lapcevich's save when he drove through the oil to avoid Brandon Pierce with four to go. We also preview this Friday's event at ACE Speedway where the Kvapil's are looking for another sweep of the night. 

The NASCAR Cup and Craftsman Truck Series are back after the Olympic break this weekend in Richmond Virginia. Will the new tire compound rules affect the racing in a positive way? Who has the edge between Bubba Wallace, Ross Chastain and Chris Buescher as we head towards the playoffs between these bubble drivers? Plus we debate whether or not private investors are a good thing for the Cup Series and we make our picks for both events. We also debate who will make the Truck Series playoffs between Daniel Dye, Tanner Gray and Stewart Friesen plus how will Connor Hall do in his maiden truck series event as well as some of the CARS Tour former winners that are in the field Friday. 

We discuss the winners from some of the Short Tracks across the region, the phenomenal ARCA finish at Elko, Austin Beers ending a dry spell in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at Lancaster and we pay tribute to Virginia Racing legend Roy Hendrick who recently passed away all on another jam packed episode of DLN!
