THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 418
“ROOKIES, ROCKETS, AND CAROLINA CHAOS”

SOME GUYS SHOW PROMISE.
SOME GUYS SHOW UP AND TAKE OVER.
THIS WEEK WE’VE GOT BOTH.

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we are locked in with a lineup that is absolutely rollin’ right now.

First up, Justin Bond. Fresh off a huge NHRA win in Arizona, and yeah, the man is flat out dangerous. Call him 007 if you want, because he’s licensed to win and not afraid to pull the trigger when it counts. Cool under pressure. Fast as hell. We’re gonna talk about the weekend, the momentum, and what’s next for one of the most unique personalities in the sport.

Then we got Spencer Hyde. NHRA Rookie of the Year. Number one qualifier at Phoenix. Head Racing hot shoe. Former DI 30 Under 30. Former World Series of Pro Mod winner. And somehow this dude just keeps leveling up. Ever since that 30 Under 30 nod, it feels like he hit the gas and never looked back. We’re gonna talk about the rise, the pressure, and what it’s like being one of the hottest names in the sport right now.

And to round it out, we’ve got John Sears joining us ahead of Carolina Gold at Shadyside. This one is shaping up to be a straight-up war. Big fields, big money, and a whole lot of Lil Gangstas cars expected to roll in. If you like chaos, this is your kind of race. We’ll talk about what to expect and why this one matters.

Three guests. Three storylines. All gas.

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.
