THE WES BUCK SHOW EPISODE 411
“WINTER HEAT AND STREET WARS”

NEW YEAR. NEW WEEK. SAME FULL SEND ENERGY.

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we are gearing up for one of the most anticipated races of the winter as U.S. Street Nationals takes over Bradenton Motorsports Park. This is race number two of the DI Winter Series, and the pressure is already turned all the way up.

Joining us is Victor Alvarez, owner of Bradenton Motorsports Park and partner with Drag Illustrated in the DI Winter Series. Victor hops on to break down everything coming next week, from track prep to class depth to what makes this event one of the most electric stops of the season.

And let’s talk stakes. There is still one racer alive in the hunt for the Elite Million, and unbelievably that same racer is also still eligible for the Jerry Bickel Pro Mod thanks to number one qualifying at the first race. One weekend can change everything, and this next one might do exactly that.

The lineup is stacked. Big names, fast cars, and zero room for mistakes. This thing is about to get wild in a hurry.

We are counting it down, breaking it all down, and getting you ready for what’s next.

LET’S COOK.

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.
