THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 402
“RECORDS, VIPERS & VICTORIES”

WHEN YOU AVERAGE A SIX-ONE ON DRAG WEEK,
YOU DON’T JUST SHOW UP —
YOU REWRITE HISTORY.

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’re rollin’ out the red carpet for Ned Dunphy, fresh off a jaw-dropping performance at Hot Rod Drag Week. The man went full Terminator mode, locking in a world record average of 6.178 seconds across the week in his absolutely nasty twin-turbo Viper. That’s not just fast. That’s “did he just do that?” fast.

Then we’ve got Mike Galimi jumping in to help us break it all down, the cars, the carnage, the chaos. Hot Rod Drag Week is a different kind of beast and we’re bringing the full download.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’re also checkin’ in with Billy Banaka, who just took home the NHRA Pro Mod W at the Fall Four-Wides at ZMAX. The air was tight, the field was loaded, and Billy got it done in an ending we won’t soon forget.

It’s a jam-packed show with winners, record breakers, and full-send machines.

Wes Buck, JT “Murder T” Hudson, and Mike Carpenter are ready to rip it.

DON’T MISS IT. LET’S GOOOOO.
