Episode 97 is on the scene and Boo Carlisle is our guest co-host while Jody is beachin it up at the Outer Banks. We are joined by the newest CARS Tour winner Ronnie Bassett Jr. Bassett experienced the lows of failing to qualify at Dominion last month to the high of winning at Hickory on Saturday. Ronnie dives into how his team re-grouped after that race and how it paid dividends. He reveals who told him he won the race after the original winner was disqualified and how much of a big deal having his family there was to him. Plus we discuss the origin of his Hickory throwback and talk about his UARA days which featured his own pass in the grass.

Jody calls in from the beach and gives his thoughts about the CARS Tour race at Hickory which saw a ton of newsworthy issues. Was the CARS Tour consistent in black flagging Ryan Millington after getting into Connor Hall on the last lap? Does it set a precedent? Plus we discuss the post race incident involving Andrew Grady and the Chad Bryant pit crew, what led to Andrew throwing his Hans Device at Landon Huffman, Conner Jones popping a wheelie during the Pro Late Model race, Jimmy Renfrew Jr's first win and what may be driving the aggressive racing we are seeing lately. 

We also give our picks for this weekend's events at North Wilkesboro for the CARS Tour and preview both the Late Model and Pro Late Model event. 

We introduce you to 14 year old Dakota Walls who was the Late Model Stock Rookie of the year at Franklin County Speedway in 2023. Find out how he got his start in racing, who his influences are and what he likes to do in his spare time when not racing. 

We review some of the winners at some of the short tracks in the region, preview some of the racing that will be held this weekend plus  Boo tells about going to Bowman Gray for the first time and breaks some news about Bobby McCarty going street stock racing.
