THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 421
“SMOKE, HORSEPOWER, AND STRAIGHT TALK”
SOME WEEKS ARE BIG.
SOME WEEKS ARE LOADED.
THIS WEEK? WE’VE GOT A FULL-ON POWER MOVE.
This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’re bringing in a lineup that covers just about every angle of NHRA right now, and we’re doing it all at once.
First up, Tony “Smoke” Stewart. Fresh off a Top Fuel win in Pomona, and yeah, that makes win number three in Top Fuel for the man, and his first win with this team. Driving for Richard Freeman and Elite Motorsports, Tony is showing early that this deal can win.
Joining him is Richard Freeman, the man behind Elite Motorsports. Car owner. Pro Stock powerhouse. And one of the most unapologetic voices in the sport. If he’s thinking it, he’s saying it. No filter. No backing down. We’re gonna hear it straight from him on how this whole deal with Tony is going and what he sees moving forward.
And then there’s Matt Hagan, Funny Car winner in Pomona, driving for Tony Stewart Racing. Veteran. Champion. And yeah, the dude shows up looking like a modern day cowboy every single race weekend. Game day outfit dialed in. But when that helmet goes on, it’s all business. One of the most dangerous guys in the class, and he proved it again last weekend.
Three big personalities. Three different roles. One stacked conversation.
Top Fuel. Funny Car. Pro Stock brains.
This one is gonna have a little bit of everything.
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.
