THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 427
“HATERS SILENCED & HISTORY MADE”
SOME WINS ARE BIG.
SOME WINS MEAN A LITTLE MORE.
AND THIS WEEK? WE GOT BOTH.
This week on The Wes Buck Show, we’re talking about a pair of victories that had the drag racing world buzzing all weekend long.
First up, Austin Prock joins the show fresh off a massive NHRA Funny Car victory, his first since making the move from John Force Racing to Tasca Racing. New team. New chapter. Same killer instinct.
You know there were people wondering if he’d be able to pick up where he left off. You know there were doubters. Well, Austin answered all those questions the best way possible. By parking it in the winner’s circle.
We’re gonna talk about the transition, the pressure, the expectations, and what it felt like to grab that first win with the new squad.
Then we bring in the one and only Angie Smith.
Angie grabbed a huge victory of her own in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle, but this one carried a little extra weight. Her win marked the 200th national event victory by a woman in NHRA history.
Think about that.
Thousands of races. Decades of competition. And Angie Smith is now permanently attached to one of the coolest milestones the sport has ever seen.
She’s been grinding for years. Racing motorcycles at the highest level. Battling some of the toughest competition in the sport. And she keeps showing up and showing out.
We’re gonna talk about the win, the milestone, and everything that comes with being one of the toughest competitors in the pits.
Two winners.
Two huge stories.
One loaded episode.
LET’S GOOOOO!
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.
