  • Best Motorsports Podcast Out There

    Paul speaks from the racer’s perspective, not a stuffy journalist or a fan boy eating chicken sandwiches while interviewing. Every show has been fantastic. Would love to see Mike Shank or Bob Varsha on the pod.

  • Guest Suggestion

    Paul, this is a great show, love the content , keep the guests engaged .

    I hope that you get this suggestion . By far my favorite motor sport announcer/ commentator is Bob Varsha.Could you please try to get him on the show and if possible have David Hobbs join in. That would be special.

  • For real racers

    Love this show, you can feel the respect between the racers during the interviews. Gives you a nice behind the scene peak into some racing insiders history etc. would love PT to get Mr Foyt on here, those two both gave no F’s and just wanted to win. And hey bring on Helio and Rick so all the living 4x 500 champs can chime in.

Ron Capps Gets Real About 300 MPH, Big Crashes & Life Behind the Wheel
Q: What does running a Nitro team cost per run, and how has supply chain affected that?
He outlines high operating expenses per run (nitro, clutch discs, parts), costs rising with supply chain constraints, and how prices and lead times affect budgeting and planning for a championship campaign.
Ron Capps Gets Real About 300 MPH, Big Crashes & Life Behind the Wheel
Q: What pathways did you follow to get from karting to Funny Cars and the top fuel ranks?
The guest explains starting as a crew member with no money, working his way up through alcohol dragsters, getting a license at 24, and catching the eye of Don Prudhomme who offered a fast track to the top with the right opportunity and sponsorship support, then focusing on building the right team and equipment to compete at the championship level.
Andy Lally on Racing, NASCAR, Trans Am and Going 80+ MPH on a Skateboard | Racers Unchained
Q: What was the hardest thing about moving from sports cars to NASCAR?
The biggest hurdle is adapting to the significant change in handling, tire dynamics, and wheel size; NASCAR's oval-focused setup requires a different feel and feedback, and transitioning means relearning how the car communicates at the limit.
Andy Lally on Racing, NASCAR, Trans Am and Going 80+ MPH on a Skateboard | Racers Unchained
Q: Was your path ultimately to try to get to an IndyCar?
From a young age I leaned toward open-wheel and IndyCar as a goal, but opportunities and mentorship pushed me toward sports cars where I could build a career, test different platforms, and seize opportunities as they came, which ultimately shaped my path.
Sam Schmidt on Life After the Crash That Changed Everything | Racers Unchained with Paul Tracy
Q: How did the foundation evolve and why rehabilitation became central?
We shifted focus from immediate post-accident goals to long-term rehabilitation because sustained therapy and the potential to improve quality of life for others became the most impactful path forward, especially after seeing Robert Wickens' journey.
