THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 417
“WHEN THE CAT’S AWAY…”
WES IS OUT OF TOWN.
AND YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
THE MICE ARE RUNNIN’ THE SHOW.
This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’re handin’ over the keys and lettin’ it rip. JT Hudson and Mike Carpenter are holdin’ it down, and they’ve brought in some serious backup with Brian Lohnes jumping in to co-host. That’s right. The voice of NHRA is in the seat and anything could happen.
We’re talkin’ racing, we’re talkin’ nonsense, and we’re probably gonna stir the pot just a little bit while Wes is away.
Then we bring in Chase Lautenbach, the man behind Street Car Takeover, one of the hottest brands in street car racing right now. The season is coming in hot and Chase is here to break down what they’ve got cookin’ for 2026. Big events, big crowds, and a whole lot of fast street cars.
Joining him is Michael Poland, who is stepping in to help push Street Car Takeover to another level this year. More structure, more growth, more chaos in the best way possible. These guys are building something real and we’re here to talk about it.
Fast cars. Big plans. No supervision.
YOU KNOW THIS ONE’S GONNA GET INTERESTING.
LET’S GO.
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.
