THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 422
“NITROUS, TWO-WHEELS, AND STREET HEAT”
SOME WEEKS ARE ABOUT WINNERS.
SOME WEEKS ARE ABOUT MOMENTUM.
THIS WEEK? WE’VE GOT BOTH.
This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’re bringing in a lineup that covers multiple lanes of the sport, and all of them are hot right now.
First up, Tommy Franklin, PDRA owner and Pro Nitrous standout. Not only is he helping run one of the baddest series in the country, but he’s also out there competing at a high level himself. Fresh off a strong weekend, we’re gonna talk PDRA, Pro Nitrous, and what it takes to juggle promoter and racer at the same time.
Then we bring in Richard Gadson, one of the top names in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle. Championship pedigree, elite talent, and a guy who has been right in the mix at the highest level. We’re gonna talk about last season, how this year is shaping up, and what it takes to compete in one of the most competitive classes in NHRA.
And rounding it out, we’ve got Nate Prater, who by all accounts just threw an absolute banger with Street Car Bragging Rights. The buzz is real, the turnout was big, and people are still talking about it. We’re gonna break down what made it hit, what’s next, and why this brand is catching fire.
Three guests. Three different corners of drag racing. One loaded show.
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.
