THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 423
“OUTLAWS, NITRO, AND FIGHTING FOR THE SPORT”

SOME WEEKS YOU TALK RACING.
SOME WEEKS YOU TALK BUSINESS.
THIS WEEK? WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE DAMN THING.

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’ve got a lineup that hits every angle of what makes this sport tick.

First up, Michael Poland. You already know what you’re getting here. Energy. Opinions. Stories. The guy lives in the middle of the action and never shies away from it. Whether it’s small tire, big personalities, or whatever chaos is brewing, Michael is right there in it and bringing the heat with him.

Then we bring in Clay Millican, one of the most respected names in NHRA Top Fuel. Veteran. Fan favorite. And a guy who has seen just about everything this sport can throw at you. From wins to wild rides to grinding it out year after year, Clay is the kind of guy you want in the room when you’re talking about what it really takes to survive and succeed at the top level.

And rounding it out, Madelyn Marconi, who is fighting for the future of motorsports off the track. Working with local and state government in Florida, she is helping protect, support, and grow racing in a time when that is more important than ever. This is the side of the sport people don’t always see, but it matters just as much as what happens on race day.

Three guests. Three perspectives. One sport we all care about.

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.
