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.
