Victory Lane

The self-proclaimed Sauce Boi™ A.K.A. Myatt Snider joins Davey Segal this week (6:45) to discuss the 2022 season, his first with Jordan Anderson Racing in the Xfinity Series, how different the year has been with a smaller and newer team, the size of JAR compared to other organizations and the family atmosphere the team fosters with Jordan Anderson at the helm.

Snider dishes on how his boss is doing following the harrowing Talladega wreck and fire, his management style, how the two relate being racers through and through and more. He also relives winning his first career ARCA start and how he was quickly humbled after it, his time with KBM and ThorSport in the Truck Series and RCR in Xfinity, his Homestead-Miami win in 2021, time in the Whelen Euro Series and how he reflects on it years later, his scary wreck at Daytona to open up this season and how he wound up spotting for a former Formula 1 driver in a NASCAR race this year.

Plus, Snider provides an update on his passion for aviation, explains why he loves math so much, roots for multiple NFL teams, doesn't like guinea pigs but loves chickens (yes, really), shares his best dad joke and more, including a preview of what he has in store for 2023 and how influential his father, NBC Sports' Marty Snider, has been in his racing career.

JD Motorsports wheelman Bayley Currey joins Davey Segal (6:40) to discuss his unique career to date and his time in 2022 driving full-time for Johnny Davis. They chat about the grind that is the NASCAR season, the freedom and comfort running for one team in every race allows him as a driver and whether it makes him feel old to have 100 starts in the Xfinity Series.

Currey, a native Texan, describes what the racing scene was like growing up in the Lone Star State, why he was resigned to the fact that he'd never make it in NASCAR as a driver, how that changed, his first starts in the sport and how he eventually progressed. From DJ Copp to Mike Harmon to Rick Ware and everywhere (and everyone) in between, Currey made his presence known at every stop, even competing in some Cup Series races along the way.

He also dives into his brief suspension and road to recovery, his relationship with Johnny Davis, how the deal for 2022 came together, working with an iconic brand like Alka-Seltzer, punching above his weight and what he'll be doing next year with JDM.

Davey also discusses NASCAR's decision to suspend Bubba Wallace one race for intentionally wrecking Kyle Larson at Las Vegas and Papa Segal pays homage to the No. 66 in an unorthodox way, as he does.

The duo of Sarah and Bridget Burgess will make history this weekend, becoming the first daughter duo to compete in the same NASCAR or ARCA Menards Series event. Two of the hardest working women in motorsports join Davey Segal (5:35) to explain how the idea was born, why it's coming to fruition this weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring and reminisce on the last time the two raced against each other and how it may go this time around.

Sarah and Bridget explain why they opted to move to the United States from Australia to pursue a career in racing, the ups and downs associated with the move, outline where both of their passions for racing began, why off-roading was the initial path and touch on female representation in motorsports. Sarah shares some laughs about being a one-woman crew, Bridget explains how it feels to flip the script and be the teacher for a change and both discuss Utah Motorsports Campus, how that fits into their day-to-day lives and what the short and long term goals are for Bridget.

Davey discusses the Round of 12 cutoff at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, Christopher Bell's clutch win, Cole Custer's move that wound up resulting in a penalty from NASCAR and touches on why the ruling creates a slippery slope for the sanctioning body. Plus, Papa Segal pays homage to everybody's favorite "Buddy."

Fresh off his first career NASCAR national series victory, return guest (!) Matt DiBenedetto joins Davey Segal (5:25) to discuss his Talladega triumph, the feeling of relief after winning, the strange nature surrounding the win, emotional calls he received in Victory Lane and how he (or didn’t) celebrate.

DiBenedetto also discusses his move from the Cup Series down to Trucks and how the adjustment has been thus far on and off track. Plus, getting up to speed quick having never piloted a Truck ahead of the season opener, dodging the aggressiveness around him and why Rackley W.A.R. wound up being the right place at the right time for him.

He also gets real about how 2021 ended, from the Wood Brothers departure, to his off-track behavior and more. DiBenedetto explains how he’s moved on from that time period, is better for it and has his focus on the here and now with Rackley. And would he ever consider a return to the Cup Series?



Davey briefly recaps a rather tame Talladega Cup race, previews the Round of 12 cutoff at the ROVAL and Papa Segal pays homage to the No. 64.

Xfinity Series competitor Kyle Weatherman joins Davey Segal (5:50) to discuss his racing career and season to date with Jesse Iwuji Motorsports. They dive into when a trip to a go-kart shop started it all, how David Ragan was involved, winning national bandolero and legends titles, moving to North Carolina, living with Chris Buescher and his wife, Emma and working his way up through the stock car ranks.

Weatherman details when work ethic really came into play, adjusting from short tracks and small cars to big tracks and heavier cars, how the deal with Jesse Iwuji Motorsports came together, why he enjoys being hands on with the cars he races, learning from previous teams (including trips to Applebee's with Mike Harmon) and providing them top 10 finishes, the satisfaction he gets from over-performing in underfunded equipment, the difference in Cup Series competition, what the support from Dale Earnhardt Jr. means to him, his plans for the rest of this and next season and more.

Davey also discusses the Texas debacle, what can/needs to be done to fix the track and Papa Segal (with more help than usual from Mama Segal) pays homage to the No. 63.

Jeffrey Earnhardt joins Davey Segal (6:40) to debrief his season to date in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and top 15 run at Bristol with Sam Hunt Racing. He explains why running a partial schedule with no real momentum has been a challenge and how he and team owner Sam Hunt joined forces.

Having a famous last name, Earnhardt has been unfairly labeled as a racer who's had everything given to him, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The grandson of "The Intimidator" explains why his family didn't want him to race in the first place, why his last name is a blessing and a curse as well as how the trials and tribulations he's gone through make him better.

Earnhardt piloted the famed No. 3 car for Richard Childress Racing at Talladega earlier this year, winning the pole and finishing second. He reminisces about that memorable day, his time running in the Cup Series, driving for a laundry list of organizations, the monumental jump from Xfinity to Cup, whether he wants to get back to the top level of stock car racing and more.

Truck Series competitor Colby Howard joins Davey (6:25) to dive into his motorsports career which has led him to piloting the No. 91 Chevrolet for McAnally-Higlemann Racing in the Truck Series. But before he was on four wheels on pavement, he raced on two wheels on dirt. He recalls the accidents and hospital visits that led him to ultimately pursue stock cars.

A third generation racer, Howard explains why motorsports was always going to be a part of his life in some form or fashion, how he wound up making his first Truck Series starts with Young's Motorsports and what it was like racing on an intermediate track for the first time. From there, he joined JD Motorsports before unceremoniously splitting toward the end of the 2021 season.

Howard gets real about the split, how it went down, his feelings about it and why he made the decision to go down to the Truck Series with MHR full-time from the Xfinity Series. He also dives into his relationship with teammate Derek Kraus, the lack of practice for a younger driver, his run-in with Carson Hocevar at IRP and why he didn't opt to act out in the immediate aftermath, his expectations for the remainder of the season and more.

Plus, Davey chats about Bubba Wallace's Kansas domination and Papa Segal pays homage to a modified legend.

The man known as HD3, Howie DiSavino III, joins Davey Segal (7:35) to discuss his career in motorsports as a first-generation racer. He dives into how racing got on his radar while growing up on a farm in Chesterfield, Virginia, the trip to Richmond Raceway that wound up being the catalyst for his career, getting started in arena racing, why he calls going late model racing after that "the dumbest step" of his development and racing at iconic tracks like Southside and Dominion.

DiSavino's ARCA debut was a memorable one at Elko Speedway, as he came home with a top 10 finish. He recalls that event, his first time running on the high banks of Daytona, his Truck Series debut and the decision to race at Las Vegas mere days after losing his mother to cancer.

He also discusses how he met Austin Theriault, how instrumental the former driver has been in his career, giving back to the veteran and cancer communities, how he wound up with Alpha Prime Racing and the approach he takes with limited practice.

Davey discusses Erik Jones' upset victory in the playoff opener at Darlington, his trip to France and Papa Segal winds the wayback machine back up for No. 60.

Tasked with being one of the many voices of NASCAR at the Motor Racing Network, Alex Hayden joins Davey Segal (6:25) to discuss his unique background and career in and out of motorsports. He dives into why he initially wanted to go into medicine or acting before racing, his time working at Universal Studios and playing football in high school before racing came calling.

Hayden explains how his father's job as a racing photographer was the catalyst for his passion in motorsports, how he got his first job at Wayne County Speedway and the memorable story of a secret tape recording wound up helping him land an audition at MRN. After nerves at Disney World Speedway, Hayden officially was a member of the team, and did so with broadcasting legends by his side in the late 1990s at Rockingham Speedway.

He dives into what his first race on the mic was like, progression from pit reporter to turn announcer to now in the booth, the moment he felt like he'd made it in the sport, advice from the late Barney Hall (including a classic story involving 9 holes of golf) and more. Hayden also dabbled in television, and shares his experiences on screen and how they differ from radio.

Plus, his work at Mount Olive University, time acting in the show "One Tree Hill" and how it came about, getting hit by a car on a bike at six-years-old (!), why he flew to Alaska (and back) in a single day and what's left on his professional motorsports bucket list.

Papa Segal pays homage to the No. 59 with a familiar name, Davey discusses Kevin Harvick snapping his 65-race winless streak and popping the proverbial playoff bubble and shares a quick programming update.

Fresh off a top 10 finish in his Truck Series debut, late model ace Layne Riggs joins Davey Segal (6:50) to discuss how the race went, why he wanted more despite turning plenty of heads at IRP, how the deal came together in the first place and why he's even more excited to head to Richmond for his second race with Halmar Friesen Racing.

After his debut, Riggs (on virtually no sleep) won at Dominion Raceway the next day, continuing his success in the Weekly Series. He explains why he opted to gun for that championship in 2022 instead of running on the CARS Tour, his long-term goals in the sport following in his father Scott's footsteps, the respect level on the late model side vs. Truck Series and more.

Plus, Riggs dives into the adjustment level between NASCAR and late models, his first experience with the Toyota simulator, his confidence level already being high, why he started racing only after his dad got out of the sport as a driver, what it's like having his das as a crew chief, pursuing a mechanical engineering degree while racing and what he'd like to accomplish as early as next year as it relates to NASCAR.
