PRI Week Begins: Big Plans, Big Guests, and the Biggest Drag-and-Drive Presence Ever | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 132 Presented by Summit Racing

Episode 132 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar mix of excitement and exhaustion. PRI week had officially arrived, and the DDR team was juggling last-minute logistics, booth planning, travel schedules, livestream timing, giveaways, banners, and ten different people texting Mike and Eric at the same time about cords, camera bags, shirts, and interviews.

This wasn’t a normal DDR episode.

This was the PRI Pre-Show.

And the goal was simple:

Lay out exactly what fans can expect during the biggest motorsports tradeshow in the country.

Mike summed up the mood right away:

“I don’t know how we’re gonna do it all, but we’re gonna get it done.”

With thousands of racers, builders, manufacturers, and fans already flying into Indianapolis, Drag Drive Repeat prepared to bring the drag-and-drive world front and center for three straight days.

Stories From the Road, Lessons From the Grind | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 131 presented by Summit Racing – Featuring Ry Klemp

Introduction: The Stories That Define a Community

Episode 131 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar tone. Calm. Direct. Warm in the way only drag-and-drive people can be warm, even while they joke about broken parts, sleepless nights, and gas-station parking lot repairs.

This episode wasn’t about big announcements or season-ending drama. It was about people.

People doing their best under tough conditions.

People helping each other when things break.

People finishing what they started even when it hurts.

Mike Narx and Eric White welcomed Ry Klemp, the racer whose name became synonymous with the “Best Story of the Year” award. His willingness to talk about failure, pain, brotherhood, and the real side of drag-and-drive shaped the soul of the episode.

And for the next two hours, the show unfolded into an honest set of stories about struggle, hope, weird failures, victories that don’t show on a timeslip, and the kind of road-family moments that keep racers coming back.

Epic Roads, Hard Miles, and a Wild West Finish | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 presented by Summit Racing – Wild West Drag & Dash

Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 opened with a tone that felt both reflective and energized. This wasn’t just another show — it was the bridge between the year’s last major events and the coming wave of off-season rebuilds, PRI announcements, winter thrashes, and 2026’s new drag-and-drive era.

Mike Narx and Eric White carried the same lighthearted banter they always do, but the sense of pride was unmistakable. Between the Wild West Drag & Dash finale, Sick Summer photos dropping, and PRI prep hitting a sprint, you could tell the team was running full throttle while still enjoying every minute.

“Race car friends, this is Episode 130 — how did we even get here?” Mike laughed early on. “It’s been the longest year and the shortest year at the same time.”

EP 130 delivered a hard-hitting mix of gratitude, year-end perspective, technical celebration, sponsor spotlights, and a full Wild West Drag & Dash recap — a send-off worthy of one of the tightest and most emotionally charged events of 2025.

What followed was two hours of storytelling, racer recognition, behind-the-scenes insight, and one final reminder of why drag-and-drive continues to grow: people, passion, and a willingness to test themselves against the road.

Big News, Big Moves, and a Bigger Future | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 129 presented by Summit Racing

Episode 129 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing carried a different energy the moment the live stream opened. You could hear it in Mike Narx’s voice. You could see it in the chat. And you could feel it in the way the hosts paced each segment.

This wasn’t another Wednesday night recap.

This was buildup. This was tension. This was the spark before the flame.

“We’ve got huge announcements tonight,” Mike teased early on. “Stuff we’ve been keeping quiet for months — and we finally get to say it out loud.”

Introduction: The Calm Before the Storm

Between the mounting anticipation around PRI 2025, the upcoming Short Circuit, the explosive growth of drag-and-drive events, and the reveal of DDR’s biggest project to date, Episode 129 delivered news that will shape the sport for years to come.
