Episode 170 is on the scene and we welcome Gary Smith to the show. Gary is the defending Legend's Division Champion at Franklin County Speedway and he talks about his 2025 season which saw him compete at Franklin County, Shenandoah Speedway, Ace, Natural Bridge and others. He discusses his photo finishes that he was involved in during the season, which is his favorite short track, why he sold his Stock 4 and his aspirations of moving up in class for 2026.

It still may be January but we had some racing this weekend at Tucson Raceway in Arizona and at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa Oklahoma. Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell may have been the favorites but it was 21 year old Emerson Axsom taking home the Golden Driller on Saturday. Kevin Harvick taught young Keelan a lesson on Saturday during the CARS Tour West series event at Tucson while Kole Raz won the Chilly Willy 150 on Sunday. We talk about where Kole ranks among Super Late Model and Pro Late Model stars and whether "East Coast Bias" is in play for West Coast Racers. 

The boys also reveal some things they are looking forward to in the 2026 season, some names to look out for this weekend at Speedfest at Cordele and how many days should you wait till you see a doctor since both hosts are sick this week. All this and more on DLN!!
