The Wes Buck Show | Ep. 372 | Ken Quartuccio & Lyle Barnett

Holy hell, what a weekend at Bradenton Motorsports Park! The U.S. Street Nationals delivered absolute CHAOS, and we’re breaking it all down with the two baddest dudes from the event!

We’ve got Ken Quartuccio, fresh off his massive win, joining us to talk about how he conquered one of the toughest fields in drag racing. From wild eliminations to clutch performances, Ken proved why he’s one of the most dangerous guys in the game right now.

And right there in the trenches with him was Lyle Barnett, the U.S. Street Nationals runner-up and all-around badass, who gave us some of the most insane side-by-side racing of the weekend. We’ll get his take on the event, what’s next for him, and how this sets the stage for the rest of the season.

We’ll also hit all the biggest takeaways from Race #2 of the DI Winter Series, talk shop about what’s ahead, and start gearing up for the World Series of Pro Mod! It’s all gas, no brakes on this week’s episode.

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 a packed weekend of drag racing.
