THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 433
“NITRO ROYALTY, NIGHT UNDER FIRE, AND THE IHRA BOMBSHELL”
THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY LOADED.
NITRO. BIG PERSONALITIES. ONE OF THE BIGGEST EVENTS IN DRAG RACING.
AND A STORY THAT HAS THE ENTIRE SPORT TALKING.
We’re bringing the heat this week on The Wes Buck Show.
First up, Courtney Enders joins us. Whether she’s behind the microphone with FloRacing or in the middle of the action at the biggest races in the country, Courtney has become one of the most recognizable voices in drag racing. We’ll preview one of the most legendary events in the sport and talk about everything happening this weekend.
Then we’ve got Clay Millican, one of the most popular drivers in NHRA Top Fuel history. Clay is headed to the legendary 49th Annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire at Summit Motorsports Park, where he’ll be one of four Top Fuel stars battling for the King of Nitro crown. This isn’t an NHRA national event, it’s one of the biggest standalone drag racing spectacles in the world, featuring Top Fuel, Nitro Funny Cars, jet cars, wheelstanders, fireworks, and enough horsepower to shake the state of Ohio.

And then…
We’ve got Richard Freeman.
If you’ve been following the IHRA saga, you already know why this conversation matters.
Richard is pulling back the curtain on what really happened when he traveled north to explore the possibility of buying the IHRA. We’ll talk about the negotiations, why the deal fell apart, what he saw firsthand, and where drag racing goes from here.
No rumors. No guessing.
Just the story from someone who was in the room.
This is one of those episodes where everybody is going to be talking.
Big guests. Big stories. Big opinions.
LET’S GOOOOOO!
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.
