Hampton Heat Review & Graham Hollar

Hampton Heat Review & Graham Hollar

Episode 96 is on the scene and we welcome two time Limited Late Model Winner at Tri-County Speedway in 2024 Graham Hollar to the show. Graham is going to make his CARS Tour debut this weekend and he tells us how that deal came about, his Michael McSwain inspired throwback, how he got his start in racing, his thoughts about the latest rules change at Tri County and what he is doing to prepare for this weekend's race while on vacation!

We analyze the second round of this year's Virginia Triple Crown from Larry King Law's Langley Speedway. Brenden "Butterbean" Queen is now a three time winner of the Hampton Heat tying C.E. Falk for the most wins in this prestigious event and we discuss this historic win, the intense racing with Connor Hall and whether or not this is Late Model racing's most intense rivalry, long rain delays, Langley regulars showing early muscle, Landon Pembleton's charge from the back and who is shaping up to be in good shape to win the Triple Crown at Martinsville.

Julian also details his trip to the speedway which nearly left him stranded at the speedway at 4 AM, how he ended up riding in a pace car for the first time in his life and scaring drivers on the road while accidentally turning the pace car lights on.

Trevor Catalano released his inner dog by winning his first career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event during the Duel of the Dog 250 at Monadnock Speedway in New Hampshire. We discuss the amount of respect him and Ron Silk showed each other during the last segment of the race as they battled side by side at times while Catalano didn't give an inch on the bottom and how we have another first time winner at the speedway this year joining Jake Johnson.

Kyle Larson returned to the Brickyard after his Indy 500 weekend in May and promptly won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. This race was filled with controversy as it came to pit road violations, caution flags not being thrown and Brad Keselowski having to pit on the last restart moving everyone in that lane up a spot. The boys have strong opinions about both so you'll need to listen.

We also discuss Connor Zilisch winning the ARCA race, Riley Herbst and Ty Majeski's wins over the weekend, short track spotlight and much more!
