THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 414
“OUTLAWS, GOOD GUYS, AND PRO MOD HEAT”

THIS WEEK WE’RE STACKED WITH HORSEPOWER, PERSONALITY, AND A WHOLE LOT OF BOOST.

We are rollin’ straight toward the World Series of Pro Mod and this lineup feels like a heavyweight fight card.

First up, the OG himself, Ryan Martin. Street Outlaws legend. No Prep Kings hammer. And now he’s bringin’ that swagger into the Pro Mod ranks at the World Series of Pro Mod. You know he’s not showing up just to make laps. He’s coming to shake the tree. We’re gonna talk about the jump, the challenge, and what it means to line up against the baddest doorslammers on the planet.

Then we’ve got Kyle Dvorak, who has quietly turned into one of the most talked about names in Pro Mod. The guy is fast, consistent, and just flat out easy to root for. Everybody in the pits likes him. Everybody respects him. And he’s proving he belongs in the deep end of this pool. We’ll talk about the rise, the grind, and what’s next.

And rounding it out, Tommy D’Aprile. Longtime Pro Mod hitter. Longtime Drag Illustrated columnist. Tough as they come and never short on opinions. He’s been in the trenches for years and he’s still swinging. We’re gonna talk racing, writing, and what keeps him coming back for more.

Three Pro Mod killers. Three different paths. One massive stage.

The World Series of Pro Mod is knocking and the temperature is rising.

LET’S GET IT.
