  • Episode 030 - Biscuits with Bozi

    If you enjoy racing, or cars in general, or technical stuff, or all of the above, you should probably be following Bozi Tatarevic on twitter (@BoziTatarevic, duh). He's a mechanic, writer, and all around good dude who also appreciates a well-made biscuit. He also worked on the AIM Vasser Sullivan Lexus that ran the GTD class in IMSA this year. 

    Bozi was at the NASCAR Next Gen test in Charlotte in November, and had a lot of great information about what NASCAR fans can expect from that car when it debuts in 2022. From a flat undercarriage to sequential shifting, engine noises and ride heights, JD and Derrick gleaned a great deal of info from Bozi. There's also a fair amount of discussion about where to find a good biscuit in Ohio (hint: trust the Amish), and how good it will be to have fans back at the race track. Give it a listen, and thanks for checking out the Stagger Podcast!

  • Episode 029 - Favorite Racing Broadcasters of all-time

    This week, J.D. and Derrick welcome in two buddies of theirs - Ory Roberts and Justin May - to talk about their favorite broadcasters of all-time in the world of motorsports. And some interesting names came up!

    They also talked pit road reporters, best team of announcers, and of course, the worst announcers of all-time. And if you think they got it right or wrong, let them know - @staggerpodcast on twitter and instagram!

  • Episode 028 - Just a Formula 1 Podcast Now

    Haha, no, despite the title, this is not just a Formula 1 podcast, but it sure feels like that over the last couple of weeks. JD and Derrick spent a good amount of time talking about the Sergio Perez victory in Bahrain, the debacle that was the Mercedes pit stop, and how it's hard to feel bad for Mercedes while also feeling very bad for George Russell.

    Also, Romain Grosjean is doing well after his terrifying accident, to the point he is giving interviews and talking about what it was like to be stuck in a car that had been split in half and lit on fire. J.D. thinks it was a good metaphor for 2020.

  • Episode 027 - The One Where They Talk F1

    This week, the guys talked about Formula 1, which they never do! Naturally, much of the chatter centered on the Romain Grosjean accident, safety advances in racing, and of course, Lewis Hamilton testing positive for Covid. But there was also discussion about near oval-track racing in F1, which is weird but we're here for it.

    The guys also talked about Chase Elliott's offseason (where he'll be racing more than ever), the World of Outlaws 2021 schedule, and which driver we'd like to see make the move to F1.

  • Episode 026 - Lake Speed

    This week, the guys decided to try something different - talking about one driver, race, track, or motor sports figure for an entire episode. Given it's the offseason, you might see a few more of these episodes over the next couple of months. 

    We're calling this "The Rollback", and our first subject is a NASCAR driver from the 80s and 90s named Lake Speed. 
    You might have heard the name, but you might not be aware of just how accomplished he was prior to his turn in NASCAR. Find out how Lake Speed toured the world, duked it out with Ayrton Senna, and ultimately tamed one of NASCAR's toughest tracks. And also, find out which NASCAR television personality tried to punch him out on national TV. 
    In this episode, J.D. and Derrick are joined by Ory Roberts, a friend of the program, racing fantasy league operator, and all-around knowledgeable NASCAR fan as they take a look back on Lake Speed's career.

  • Episode 025 - Sebring The Noise

    This week, J.D. and Derrick recap the 12 Hours at Sebring, the finale to the 2020 IMSA season. They discuss the championships in DPi, GTLM, and GTD, and discuss some of the big news in the world of sports car racing. 

    They also talked about some comments made by Joey Logano - should a racer wreck a lapper if it would help them win a championship?

  • Episode 024 - Chase Elliott 2020 NASCAR Champion

    This week, the boys discuss the Phoenix Finale, as Chase Elliott defeats Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and Denny Hamlin to claim his first ever NASCAR Cup championship at the age of 24. There was much discussion about the trajectory this puts him on, what his place in NASCAR will be, and how he is clearly the most bankable star in NASCAR at the moment. Other topics of discussion - Denny Hamlin misses out again; Phoenix or Homestead; is there a conspiracy afoot in NASCAR (probably not) ; and what does the 2021 season schedule look like?

    The conversation also turned to Jimmie Johnson, and his legacy in NASCAR. How will you remember him? The guys shared their thoughts as well as some of yours.

  • Episode 023 - Down Goes Harvick

    This week, J.D. and Derrick discuss the shocking result at Martinsville - Chase Elliott getting the win (not that shocking), which helped bump Kevin Harvick out of the playoffs. Should NASCAR lock in the regular season champion to the final weekend automatically? The guys and Stagger Nation weigh in. 

    Also, they preview the final four at Phoenix - what would it mean for Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski or Joey Logano to grab the trophy this weekend? 
    Plus, Scott Dixon is possibly the INDYCAR GOAT, NASCAR needs a STEM program, and Derrick is mad at Taco Bell. Follow on twitter and instagram @staggerpodcast.

  • Episode 022 - Open Up a Can of Kansas (and Texas)

    This week, the boys recap Joey Logano's win at Kansas, and all of the silly season moves that were announced recently. How will Erik Jones's career go now that he is in the 43? Will Chase Briscoe be able to emulate his idol Tony Stewart in the legendary 14 car? How will Hailie Deegan fare in the NASCAR Truck Series?

    Plus, playoff discussion, looking ahead to the offseason, and more.
