This week, Langley and Noah dive into a wild weekend in short track racing — starting with the catastrophe at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Dirt Track during the 10th Annual Short Track World Championship. The track conditions were a disaster, with ruts deep enough to lose a car in, flips in every turn, and fires lighting up the night.

We also unpack the surprising news of Pulaski County Motorsports Park announcing plans to return in 2026 — but with a vague press release, no clear leadership, and plenty of questions about what the county’s involvement means for its future success.

Plus, we tackle the Ryan Millington disqualification at Ace Speedway’s Big Ace Race after his apparent victory — breaking down what happened, why it matters, and what it says about short track officiating today.

Another 💩 show of a podcast that includes glitches, talks about Mike Fulp, and comments on the live show from Brian Rowsey of Natural Bridge Speedway fame or infamy.

We talk about the $10k Limited race at Caraway Speedway and the controversy that came with it. It was one of the most interesting scenarios ever at the finish of a race. One guy won the race twice, but the other guy who won it once in between the two times that the other guy won it once actually got the money ... yeah we were confused to...

In Episode 81, Langley and Noah are back at it — breaking down a huge weekend of short track and dirt racing action across the region. They kick things off with talk about West Virginia Motor Speedway, where 240+ entries filled the pits and the crowd packed the house. From there, the guys dive into Lonesome Pine’s facelift, Wythe Raceway’s latest battles, and the Tommy Bare Memorial at Natural Bridge.

They also give listeners the inside scoop on what’s coming next: updates on the Franklin County Speedway event, Ararat BullRing’s upcoming race on October 25th, and early prep for the $10,000-to-win Stock4 World Championship and the Dirty Turkey Derby. Plus, a look ahead at Wythe and Natural Bridge being back in action this weekend and some chatter about the big Eldora weekend on tap.

It’s another loaded episode of Pit Chatter — the show where real racing people talk real racing!

Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee are back for Episode 80 of the Pit Chatter Podcast, breaking down the Ararat BullRing points season finale — celebrating the champions, race winners, and everything that capped off an incredible year of dirt racing. 🏁

They also dive into big news from Franklin County Speedway, which is officially returning to its historic Speedway name for a trio of events promoted by Pit Chatter Media’s Langley and Kimberly Austin. The guys talk plans, storylines, and what fans can expect as asphalt action comes roaring back to life.

Plus, this one gets lively — the crew fields a ton of questions and comments from fans during the live show on Facebook and YouTube, making it one of the most interactive and entertaining episodes yet. 🎙🔥

Pit Chatter Podcast – Episode 79: Martinsville Madness & Local Rumblings
Hosted by Langley Austin & Noah Hinchee

It’s a packed episode as we dive into the wild weekend at Martinsville! Landon Pembelton takes home a dramatic photo finish victory, while Lee Pulliam sees his shot at the clock slip away after a late caution. Jared Fryar keeps up his steady form with a podium, Andrew Grady surprises with a strong fourth, and Parker Eatmon rounds out the top five. Connor Hall never quite factors in, and Carson Loftin’s restarts prove costly as he fades from the front to 10th. We also spotlight Cory Pack’s impressive qualifying run, Mike Looney’s gritty 17th-place recovery after a pre-start crash in what might have been his last Martinsville start, and tough breaks for Peyton Sellers, Jimmy Mullins, and Kyle Dudley.

Plus, we’ve got updates on Oak Level Raceway’s first scheduled “test event” this November, Franklin County Speedway rumors heating up, and Langley’s plans to operate a couple of races at FCS to help close out the season. We even touch on Motor Mile possibly adding more events in 2026.

All that and more in Episode 79 of Pit Chatter—where the short track world comes to talk.

Pit Chatter Podcast – Episode 75: Packed Pits, Wild Races, and Oak Level 2026
Hosted by Langley Austin & Noah Hinchee

This week’s episode is packed with short track action and big news!

We kick things off at Ararat BullRing, where two nights of racing delivered everything from perfect track conditions on Friday to a raceable but tricky surface on Saturday. Friday’s Non-Winners races brought us fresh faces in victory lane—including maybe the best Late Model race of the season. Saturday night didn’t disappoint either: a new Late Model winner emerged, a controversial bounty payout in Pro4 stole the headlines, Stock4 drew 18 strong entries, and the Crown Vics put on a wild show. With 81 cars on the property and a near-full outer lot, plus a packed grandstand crowd, the BullRing was buzzing.

Sunday night, the action shifted to Franklin County Raceway for the Memorial 100, where a big crowd and a tough Mini Stock field headlined a solid show that also crowned champions. We also touch on results from Wythe Raceway and Natural Bridge Speedway over the weekend.

Then, special guest Bo Miller of Oak Level Raceway joins the show to talk about the recent permit denial and what’s next for the track. Spoiler: racing will return in 2026—on Friday nights—and we dive into his plans to make Oak Level Raceway great again.
