Presented by Buffalo Mountain Motorsports, TC Construction & Andrew’s Mowing & Landscaping

In this episode of BullRing Banter, Langley and Kimberly Austin recap a night full of shakeups at the BullRing — where dominant runs were snapped, new faces found victory lane, and the Late Models delivered a last-lap controversy that has everyone buzzing.

Stock4 continues to be the most unpredictable division week in and week out, and the crew tackles the question: does throwing more money at the class change anything — or is chaos just part of the deal?

Langley also fesses up to messing up the tire rule for the TC Construction Modifieds and scrambling to fix it just before race time. And post-race? A scoring correction had to be made after Ronnie Covey was caught a lap down — another behind-the-scenes fix you didn’t see.
