  • great

    love the podcast ! I love the info, opinion and knowledge. The banter is funny. But Jordan….sometimes where good discussion is wanted you start off with a close the door comment….Joking is great but sometimes it can hinder the discussion wanted by your cohost and listeners…It has it’s place and I laugh at it. I hope you guys continue for many years and don’t stop the poll either….

  • Monsoon and Heenan

    I enjoy this podcast very much. Jeff and Jordan have a Gorilla Monsoon/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan vibe together. If you get that reference, you’re a real one.

  • Unsubscribed

    Too much bickering between the hosts and putting the winner in the title is not cool. Some people have to work overtime on the weekends and can’t watch the race live so this completely ruins the race for us.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Time Almost Up?
Q: Take us through how that final lap unfolded from your eyes.
Tyler Monn says a push put Larson in the middle and he thought the race was lost. They later gained momentum behind the No. 41, moved to the bottom when that car stayed high, and found a clear path to the finish.
Is Time Almost Up?
Q: What does that do for your confidence level?
Sammy Smith says the victories help his confidence, though they do not change his belief that he can win. He credits the work he puts into racing and says his move to TRICON is an opportunity to rebuild his career.
Hurricane Forecast
Q: Do you think it can't be replicated? Could other drivers, in a sense, do what you have done?
Hocevar says other drivers could build audiences, but it takes time and editing skill. He emphasizes that racing is already a niche, that videos need to show something beyond race activity, and that drivers may need to persist before the work earns money.
Hurricane Forecast
Q: What is your strategy to try to keep this channel going and reach these audiences?
Hocevar plans to make entertaining videos about his hobbies and time with friends, using NASCAR as a detail rather than the main focus. He enjoys filming and editing the videos himself and sees them as both a creative outlet and a way to reach people beyond racing fans.
No Small Task
Q: What kind of money are we talking about to get into a truck?
Mallozzi estimates about $40,000 for a short-track ride and closer to $50,000 for an intermediate track. He says rising costs and a gap between sponsorship value and ride prices make funding difficult.
