LEE HOLDSWORTH will hope to defend his Bathurst 1000 crown next week as he approaches the Great Race with Penrite Racing and co-driver Matt Payne. 

Leethal talks about his campaign, how he and his leggy co-driver compare with seating positions and the reaction to his recent retirement news - and already fielding calls for a co-driver role in 2023. 

The boys then chat about the news of the week, offer up the weekly Hot and Not rankings and a whole heap more - it's another big show as we count down to race week!
