Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee are back with another round of short track talk! In this episode of the Pit Chatter Podcast, we cover a weekend full of action and some big news:

• Redemption at Ararat after the infamous “Dust Bowl” weekend – a much smoother night on the red clay.

• SMART Modifieds at Franklin County Speedway – how the tour played out and what stood out.

• A look at Natural Bridge Speedway and its strong local racing.

• Oak Level Raceway division announcement – what fans and racers can expect when the track fires up in 2026.

• Schedule shakeups at Ararat with newly added races.

• A tour of Log Cabin Speedway – a track that’s been closed since 1985 but still holds plenty of history.

• Plus, rumors and plans for more racing at Franklin County in the near future.

It’s a packed episode with redemption, announcements, and a trip down memory lane at one of short track racing’s forgotten venues.
