The Wes Buck Show: Jimmy Taylor, Chris Mattingly & More

We’re back with another banger on The Wes Buck Show!

Up first: Jimmy Taylor – Drag Illustrated Winter Series Pro Mod standout – fresh off a six-figure win at the inaugural Grudge Bowl presented by Team Boddie at U.S. 60 Dragway. We’re talkin’ big money, no-time pressure, and what’s next as he gears up for a Florida takeover this winter.

Then we’re bringing in the man behind the mayhem: Chris Mattingly, owner of U.S. 60 Dragway, joins the show to reflect on a wild weekend in Kentucky, share behind-the-scenes insight from the Grudge Bowl, and talk about what’s coming next for one of the hottest small-tire facilities in the game.

Real talk. Big moments. LET’S GOOOO.
