Wednesdays are for the bros., and they’re taking over HORSEPOWER HUMPDAY!” Following a successful weekend for NASCAR in San Diego, the squad ponders if It will be enough for the sport to return there.

NHRA Top Fuel Champion, Shawn Langdon, is the latest and greatest subject of bad-assery on “Black Flag Confessions.” The winner of the 2013 Top Fuel title could very well be seen as the Kyle Larson of NHRA, in the sense that he can’t get enough racing, sharing why he opts to bracket race when he isn’t rocketing down the drag strip. Driving for Team Kalitta — the original crap-starting crew - Langdon shares who is the wildest of the current bunch, and if they even come close to the notorious history of the organization. The 43-year-old also dishes on his literal and figurative “boss resume,” which challenges for one of the most illustrious in motorsports. Serving as one of the best in what’s already a unique Top Fuel field, what would he do to improve it even more, and where would he draw the line? Riding four consecutive race wins, does he think about chasing history made by the likes of his competitor Tony Schumacher? What goes through a driver’s mind when they do their job behind the wheel, but the car malfunctions? Langdon also breaks down some basics of drag racing for general listeners such as fine-tuning the car, feeling the difference between going 300 mph and 330 mph, as well as safety advancements in NHRA. Pull up a chair and take in over 40 minutes of awesome conversation with Shawn Langdon! 

There’s no time like “Heim Time” with in the Freak Nation! Still reeling over a NASCAR’s thrilling debut in San Diego, the crew breaks down all the madness from Naval Base Coronado and just how part-timer Corey Heim was able to stun for his first-ever Cup Series win. Was this “base race” weekend a success, and does it already boast a status in rarified air with the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500? Is it time for the competition to throw in the towel with yet another Toyota dominated day? Christian Lundgaard also join the show, following his insane rally from the rear to victory in INDYCAR’s return to Road America. Shawn Langdon kicks off another edition of “Black Flag Confessions,” Cole Cusumano calls in from California, and so much more with The Freaks!

After being told not to “do anything stupid” to start the race by Tony Kanaan, the driver for Arrow McLaren sounds off on if he’s the perfect voice to have in his ear during a race. Is less more, in terms of knowing what strides were made to improve a car trying to make an improbable comeback? Doing math behind the wheel and taking Marcus Armstrong to school, Lundgaard also sounds off on if he’s a driver or a professor in butt-kicking!

In the midst of World Cup fever, Toyota reminded the world that racing has a place, too. And their brand dominated the top of several podiums from LeMans, France to Pocono, Pennsylvania, Bristol, Tennessee and Haubstadt, Indiana. In the NASCAR ranks, Denny Hamlin’s win marked his third consecutive, pulling him to within 20 points of Tyler Reddick. Yea, remember that hot streak Reddick had to start the season? It seems ages ago now! As of this point in the season, who has been more impressive? Denny Hamlin now or Tyler Reddick from February to March?
