Eastern Midget Week was here and now gone unfortunately, but not before I was able to chat it up with a few of the USAC midget stars.  Emerson Axsom sat down with me on Wednesday prior to the night's events to discuss his love of small bullrings, learning from KTJ and finally knocking out that first win earlier this year!  Thursday, we went and picked up Daison Pursley with the golf cart and brought him back to the camper for a sit-down interview covering the prior night's win, what it's like running for KKM and following in the big footsteps of guys like C Bell and some Larson guy?!?!  Enjoy!

This week's episode features a rookie in the 602 Crate Sportsman division, Brian Blankenbiller.  The proclaimed member of "Team AARP" decided at the ripe old age of 47 it was time to strap a helmet on and go racing.  Listen to Brian share how this all came about and what drives him to do what he does.  He also shares which give him more of an adrenaline rush, driving a Corvette on a drag strip OR running a dirt modified!  Brian's story is one that touches home for any gearhead that sits in the stands every weekend, like most of us do! Enjoy!
