Bryce Menzies capped off a dominant 2023 SCORE World Desert Championship over the weekend by earning the overall win in the 56th SCORE Baja 1000, teaming up with Tavo Vildosola and Andy McMillin to conquer more than 1300 miles up the Baja Peninsula from La Paz to Ensenada. The win made him the 2023 Trophy Truck class champion with three wins in four races, as well as just the 10th driver in history to have won the Baja 1000, Baja 500, and San Felipe 250. Menzies’ accolades extend far beyond SCORE or even just the desert, though; from short course championships in multiple classes, to a pair of wins in the unique Red Bull Frozen Rush, to a 379-foot jump over a New Mexico ghost town to set a Guinness World Record, his name is a consistent presence in record books of all types.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Bryce from March 2018!

As Americans have begun to make their mark in the Dakar Rally over recent years, few have more potential to become long-term icons of the event, or the sport of rally raid, than Seth Quintero. Dominant in American desert racing as a teenager, winning events from the Mint 400 to the UTV World Championship, Quintero earned the call from Red Bull to compete on a global stage for the first time in 2020, and he debuted at Dakar in 2021. In his first two Dakars, he won 18 combined stages in the Light Prototype class, including a record 12 in 2022, before finally scoring his first overall podium with a second place last year. For this year, he’s been promoted to the T1 class with Toyota Gazoo Racing, where he replaces defending event winner Nasser Al-Attiyah.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Seth from August 2019!

If you were to split Brian Deegan’s career into three pieces—motocross, short course, and rallycross—most top racers or riders in each category would be happy to settle for what he accomplished there. On two wheels, Deegan was a pioneer of freestyle motocross whose ghost ride across the finish line in Los Angeles birthed a whole new sport; in off-road trucks, he scored numerous wins and titles, including the Crandon World Championship; in rallycross, he was a regular title contender in Global Rallycross who added multiple medals there to his FMX haul, including gold in 2011. But Deegan’s proudest accomplishment may be that three kids are following in his footsteps. Hailie has parlayed her off-road successes into multiple NASCAR rides, Haiden’s prowess on a 250 earned him the inaugural SuperMotocross title, and Hudson continues to excel in youth motocross.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Brian from May 2019!

Few names in drag racing history can say that they’ve driven for both Don Prudhomme and Don Schumacher, but NHRA legend Ron Capps counts himself among the list. With experience in both Top Fuel and the Funny Car division where he’s found his greatest success, Capps counts dozens of Wallys on his racing record—and he’s one of fewer than 20 racers to have won in both classes. His third career Funny Car title in 2022 was extra sweet for multiple reasons: not only did it come in Capps’ first year of team ownership, it also made him the first driver to win back-to-back titles in 20 years. Capps is also an avid sim racer and fan of anything he can race, making appearances in both the Prelude to the Dream and Superstar Racing Experience events at Eldora Speedway over the years.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Ron from April 2020! Other guests include Supercross icon Jeremy McGrath and esports standout Cam Pedersen.Be sure and find a General Tire for your ride here: General TireSubscribe here to the show: Apple PodcastsFollow us on YouTube here: Jim Beaver on YouTube

If you’ve been missing James Hinchcliffe behind the wheel, rejoice: he’ll be joining his fellow Canadians at Pfaff Motorsports for the endurance races in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, starting with January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. It marks the first outings for the Mayor of Hinchtown since he traded in his NTT IndyCar Series helmet for a microphone at NBC Sports and on F1 TV for the past two years. The Ontario native won six times in his IndyCar career, where he drove for many of the biggest teams in the sport, but perhaps no triumph was bigger than his 2016 Indianapolis 500 pole—which came a year after a crash in practice for that race nearly killed him. Outside of racing, he was runner-up in Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars, and he continues to host Off Track, a podcast of his own with former Andretti Autosport teammate Alexander Rossi.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Hinch from April 2018!
