We’re talking about a dude who lives and breathes this stuff. Track owner. Promoter. Racer. All gas, no excuses.

Then we’re bringing in Doug Cook, the founder of Motion Raceworks and one of the biggest movers in motorsports right now. The guy has been buying up some of the most legendary brands in the game, including Mark Williams Enterprises and TBM Brakes. keeping them alive and thriving. Doug is changing the game for small and big business in racing and we’re gonna dig into how and why he’s doing it.

Wes Buck is holdin’ it down solo this week as Mike Carpenter and JT “Murder T” Hudson are both out for doctor’s appointments. But don’t worry. The takes are still hot and the vibes are still high.
