Mazda MX-5 Cup Star Jared Thomas

Mazda MX-5 Cup Star Jared Thomas

Episode 113 is on the scene and we welcome Mazda MX-5 Cup Star Jared Thomas to the show. Jared recently made history by becoming the first driver to win a Mazda MX-5 event on an oval at Martinsville Speedway a few weeks ago. He tells his story and delivers an education on how he got into this series and his thoughts on ovals in general.

We review the Battle of the Stars from New River All American Speedway. Conner Jones picked up another late model stock win and we discuss how he is coming into his own as a competitor for Mike Darne Racing plus we give our thoughts about the event itself.

Nine of our beloved short tracks in North Carolina have recently come together to form the North Carolina Short Track Coalition. We don't have a lot of details yet on what this means for the asphalt tracks in North Carolina (Bowman Gray, Southern National, Wake County, Tri-County, Caraway, Ace, Carteret, New River All American & Orange County) but Julian spoke with Ace Speedway Promoter Jason Turner and he shares some of that phone conversation that tells us a little bit more about this exciting endeavor.

The South Carolina 400 is this weekend and the boys break down the big Late Model Stock race in Florence. Over 50 cars will go for a prestigious win, $10,000 and a palm tree which includes some of the toughest competitors in the region not to mention some guy named Dale Jr is running. We give you our drivers to watch and we pick our four favorites and a piece that will have the biggest impact on the race. 

We also hear from Jody's youngest daughter Riley as she shares her words of wisdom!
