Shine City Show

Coming off a unique and unprecedented Chicago Street Race weekend, Brandon and Gary debate the merits of the race and whether or not it was a success.

Greg wonders who he should root for in NASCAR, and Brandon dissects what type of fan he is and we base his potential fandom on many factors, including what kind Premier League soccer fan he is.

So what was the deal with the running order after the huge pileup in Chicago? And why was the race rain-shortened? Do we care?

Gary stumps Brandon on rain-shortened NASCAR trivia, and we look ahead to Atlanta.

Hosts Gary Buffaloe and Brandon Brown explain that there are, in fact, middle fingers in NASCAR, to new potential fan and co-host Greg Brady. We try to win Greg's fandom after the NASCAR weekend at Nashville Superspeedway and answer his burning questions regarding the NASCAR Cup Series race there.

We tackle why AJ Allmendinger's damage was a good thing in the Xfinity Series was a good thing, why Ryan Blaney's wreck was really bad, and why aero in NASCAR is a conundrum using a few real-life – and fairly hilarious – analogies.

The big question of the week: What are the NASCAR Playoffs? Does Brandon do a good job explaining it? Tune in to find out?

Also, is there water in Nashville? The trio has a bit of a disagreement on that.

Gary Buffaloe and Brandon Brown have been NASCAR fans since they were young. Greg Brady has not. Gary and Brandon lived through the “Golden Era” of NASCAR, experiencing the boom and then the regression of the sport. As NASCAR is on the up-and-up, there’s no better time to become a fan of NASCAR… and we try to convert Greg into one.

Live from The Masthead in North Wilkesboro, N.C., we begin the conversion process, giving Greg reasons to become a NASCAR fan. We talk about why Greg didn’t become a NASCAR fan as a kid, and what will make him into one.

While Gary has experienced racing as a fan his entire life, Brandon has worked in racing since 2015 and has been immersed in it for years. With two similar-but-different perspectives on racing, we offer up the reasons to become a fan.
