Hi, what are you looking for?

The Wes Buck Show

WBS | Ep. 380 | Chris Hamilton, Jimmy Dale & Poland, Melanie Salemi, Lyle Barnett, & Elon Werner

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, DRAG RACING FANS OF ALL AGES… IT’S WEDNESDAY, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS—TIME FOR ANOTHER HEATER OF AN EPISODE OF THE WES BUCK SHOW!

This week? It’s THE FAJITA-FREE FRENZY, and you’ll see why…

First up—Chris “Boosted” Hamilton is stoppin’ by to talk shop on No Prep Kings, the state of no prep racing, and what he’s got cookin’ for this big race. If there’s one dude who knows the no prep game inside and out, it’s Boosted.

Then we’ve got the duo of Jimmy Dale and Michael Poland, that’s Michael with an A-E-L for those playin’ along at home, joining us to dive into the red-hot Lil Gangsters scene (that’s L-I-L Gangsta with an A, don’t get it twisted). Small tire, limited prep, no prep… it’s blowin’ up, and these two are right in the middle of the madness.

Also droppin’ in: Melanie Salemi, fresh off her W-I-N in PDRA action this past weekend! She’s on a tear, drivin’ like a woman possessed, and we’re always pumped to cut it up with her. Absolute weapon behind the wheel.

And buckle up….Lyle Barnett is back on the show after stirrin’ up the socials like only he can. We’ll see what’s got him fired up this time… and yes, we’ll probably ask him about fajitas, which he HATES. (Why, Lyle?!)

Last but not least, our guy Elon Werner is checkin’ in to talk Drag Race Bracket Bonanza—what to expect this weekend at the NHRA Four-Wides, how to sign up, and some insider nuggets from the legendary Denzy’s Deetz. Get your picks in, folks.

THIS SHOW’S STACKED.
Fast cars. Big personalities. Drag racing’s hottest topics. Zero filter. You know the drill—Wes Buck, JT “Murder T” Hudson, and Mike Carpenter are bringin’ the smoke.

DON’T MISS IT! LET’S GOOOOO!
