THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 435
“BIG MOVES. BIG NAMES. BIG HORSEPOWER.”
THE FUTURE IS HERE. THE MOMENTUM IS REAL. AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
Fresh off one of DI’s biggest announcements, The Wes Buck Show is rolling full steam ahead with another absolutely loaded lineup.
First up, we’ve got Spencer Hyde. Former World Series of Pro Mod champion. NHRA Funny Car standout. And just an all-around good dude. It’s been awesome watching Spencer’s career take off over the last few years, going from conquering Pro Mod to battling it out with the biggest names in Funny Car. We’ll catch up on the season, talk about life in NHRA, and see what’s next for one of Drag Illustrated’s longtime friends.
Then we’re welcoming Christy Meyer from the Texas Motorplex.
After last week’s bombshell announcement, we’re diving into what it means to bring the World Series of Pro Mod to one of the most iconic drag racing facilities on the planet. Why Texas? Why now? What does this partnership mean for racers, fans, and the future of the sport? We’re gonna get the inside story from someone who’s been right in the middle of it.
And to wrap things up, our guys from Street Car Takeover, Chase Lautenbach and Michael Poland, are back in the house.
If you’ve ever watched these two together, you already know there is absolutely zero chance this conversation stays on the rails. They’ve got events popping up all over the country, the Street Car Takeover brand keeps growing, and these guys always have a story or two that’ll leave everybody laughing. It’ll be fast cars, good people, and plenty of bench racing.
Big guests. Big conversations. Big horsepower. And probably a little controlled chaos. Just the way we like it.
DON’T MISS IT.
LET’S GOOOOOO!
Each week on The Wes Buck Show, Wes Buck, JT “Murder T” Hudson, and Mike Carpenter bring their unique insights and analysis to the most electrifying moments and storylines from across the drag racing world.
