THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 431
“NEW BEGINNINGS, BIG MONEY, AND PURE CHAOS”

SOME WEEKS YOU CELEBRATE.

SOME WEEKS YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD.

THIS WEEK? WE’RE DOING A LITTLE OF BOTH.

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’ve got one heck of a lineup, and there is absolutely no shortage of storylines.

First up, our guy Mark Beatty joins us after making one of the biggest career moves in motorsports this year. After years of being one of the faces of Red Line Synthetic Oil and a huge supporter of racers, race tracks, and the DI Winter Series, Mark is taking his talents to the PDRA leadership team.

If you’ve been around drag racing for more than five minutes, you’ve probably crossed paths with Mark. He’s one of the genuine good guys in this sport, and we’re gonna talk about the move, what’s next for PDRA, and why he’s as fired up as ever for this next chapter.

Then we’ve got Chase Womack, fresh off an absolute throwdown at the Freedom of War No Prep at WesTX Abilene Raceway. Chase survived a stacked field, raced until nearly daylight, and walked away with a massive payday and the title of King of the Concrete.

We’re gonna relive one of the biggest outlaw wins of the year and hear how he got it done.

And if that wasn’t enough…

We’ve got a WHOLE LOT to unpack.

The IHRA situation.

The rumors.

The fallout.

The reactions.

The conversations everybody in drag racing is having right now.

It’s one of the wildest weeks this sport has seen in a long time, and we’re not gonna tiptoe around it.

Big guests.
