Kade Brown & Gary Ledbetter

Episode 59 is on the scene! 

2023 Hickory Motor Speedway Late Model Stock Track Champion and 2023 Orange Blossom Shootout winner Kade Brown returns to the show. He discusses his win at Orange County, what he is doing with the winnings, earning respect of his peers and growing his graphic design business. Kade also breaks some news on the show by revealing that he will be running full time on the CARS Tour in 2024 and running for rookie of the year honors!

The inaugural GXS Street Stock Series season wrapped up Saturday at Tri County Speedway. Marlin Yoder went five for five this year with the poles and claimed his third straight series win of the season. Despite those efforts, Yoder was not able to claim the title. Gary Ledbetter opened the season with two wins and was able to win the overall points championship by 25 points. He joins us to talk about that, the future of the series, why he sold his treasured hot rod, if he would've taken himself to the rear for spinning a guy out, his thoughts on street stock racing as a whole and his plans for 2024.

The guys give their analysis of the wacky CARS Tour Pro Late Model event. They give their opinions on the incidents during the race and debate what type of punishment could be handed out and the lessons to be learned here.  How much fighting is too much fighting? Does it put a literal black eye on the sport? It's all discussed here including Caden Kvapil coming from the rear twice to win the race. 

Brenden Queen's redemption story is told by the hosts. The driver who ran out of gas during the August race had enough gas this time by dominating the Late Model Portion and chopping Carson Kvapil's point lead from 33 points to 19. We break down the event and give our analysis.

NASCAR returns to our backyard and we preview the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race from Martinsville and tell you who to look out for including the battle for the championship. Will Ron Silk claim his first title since 2011 or will Justin Bonsignore win his fourth title since 2018? The guys give their picks.

The SMART Modified Tour finishes their season in the Rumble at Rougemont on Saturday. Burt Myers has essentially won the title but who will walk away from the final race of the season a victor? What to expect from Orange County?

We also talk about Christopher Bell coming back from nearly a lap down to win at Homestead and the chaos that took place leading up to this. Who were our winners and losers from Homestead and who has the advantage for Martinsville in both the Xfinity and Cup Series? DLN has you covered with that and a lot more! Thank you as always for your support!
