On today’s episode we’ve got Craig Woods, an avid Penrith Panthers fan and race car driver who races for Western Sydney Motorsport in the V8 SuperUtes. We will also learn Craig’s journey into racing including his time in Super Karts and Aussie Racing Cars. 

A family man, Craig’s wife Claire and two children came along to watch. You might hear a cheer or two in the background! Being a tradie from a young age, he’s proven to the world that not only can he race cars but he can also run a successful business. 

On the podcast you’ll hear us discuss everything from football, life away from the track, motorsport politics, racing and more. Woodsy cuts the bullshit in this interview and tells it how it is in the world of motorsports and footy. You’ll hear some great stories from Craig, beyond the helmet.
