This week On the Grid, we chat to Todd Hazelwood about his breakthrough weekend in the Australian Trans Am Series from the Shannons SpeedSeries at The Bend.
 
Against a hyper-competitive field, Todd claimed his first two race wins of the season, with there being a fair degree of controversy along the way.
 
It’s been a wild rollercoaster of a season to date for Todd, and we break it all down in what is always one of our favourite interviews.
 
Dale Rodgers dropped by Speedway Australia night of nights, and he gets the low down from all of the main players at the National Speedway Awards.
 
Then the lads wrap up a big weekend for the sport from The Bend, plus Shane van Gisbergen’s big NASCAR win in Portland, with the show rounded out with a hearty serving of Hots & Nots!

The Hots and the Nots from Racing's biggest weekend

FORD found themselves back in victory lane in the Perth Supersprint last weekend, their first wins of the 2024 season. We welcome Ford's Motorsport Engineering lead, Brendan McGinniskin, to the show to discuss their rise to victory for the first time this year, plus how the global elements of Ford Motorsport are contributing to their Aussie program - and vice-versa. 
Then we debrief the weekend that was - including the proverbial elephant in the room about a certain Aussie Racing Car - and work through the Hot's and Not's of the event, including a deep-dive into what the Supersprint format is lacking after seeing it live. 
All that, plus F1, NASCAR and IndyCar from qualifying at the '500 - it's another big show.
