He's Dialed What? Podcast

Another week and another division championship interview (how many can we get up too?) A returning guest this go around and really gives a deeper look into winning a championship on the NHRA side of things. We are getting closer and closer to banquet time who is ready to PARTY?! Also stick around after the interview to hear the *partial* results of the first ever He's Dialed What? Show & Podcast awards! THANK YOU ALL for 181 received award ballots!!!

Of course the episode this week is a little sour with the unfortunate news of Chris Muise. He quickly became a beloved member of our community with a heart of gold. Please join us in the comments in sharing our condolences and prayers for his friends and family during this very difficult time.

We are picking back up with another championship interview from one of our local drivers who had some success representing Team New England Dragway to earn a division title.

Come back next week as we continue to roll through!

This month has been a real sour note on the 2021 season so far, with numerous tracks along the east coast being affected heavily by the amount of rainfall we've had in the month of July. We've missed talking with you guys about racing, so to get everyone excited for a truly great race coming up, we talk with our original guest, Craig Rice, about the Papa Ray Rice Memorial race coming to New England Dragway on July 24. Also, we have our first team outing of the season at Bristol, Tennessee for the kids, bounty program and technical glitches as part of our discussion today.

Some of these drivers have waited since July 8, 2019 to get another crack at a national event Wally boasting Epping's name and NOW we are finally here. The 2021 running of the NHRA national event at Epping comes to town this week and we brought a plethora of guests to give us some of their insight to the upcoming weekend and their own racing careers. By far, our longest episode thus far on the podcast and with the most guest speakers. We'll come back next week and break it down, hopefully with some racer spotlights with winners at the national event this weekend but we're bringing lots of stories with some local favorites at this week's upcoming event. AND you get to listen to someone other than me! Time stamps below, sportsman eliminations start on Saturday, June 12 first thing in the morning and we wish the best of luck to our racers this weekend!
