THE WES BUCK SHOW – EPISODE 418
“ROOKIES, ROCKETS, AND CAROLINA CHAOS”
SOME GUYS SHOW PROMISE.
SOME GUYS SHOW UP AND TAKE OVER.
THIS WEEK WE’VE GOT BOTH.
This week on The Wes Buck Show, we are locked in with a lineup that is absolutely rollin’ right now.
First up, Spencer Hyde. NHRA Rookie of the Year. Number one qualifier at Phoenix. Head Racing hot shoe. Former DI 30 Under 30. Former World Series of Pro Mod winner. And somehow this dude just keeps leveling up. Ever since that 30 Under 30 nod, it feels like he hit the gas and never looked back. We’re gonna talk about the rise, the pressure, and what it’s like being one of the hottest names in the sport right now.
Then we bring in Brett LaSala, driver of the Snot Rocket, and yeah, the name fits. This car is violent. Fast. Consistent. And they are on an absolute tear. Wins, records, momentum. These guys are stacking it all up and making noise everywhere they go. We’re gonna dig into what’s working and how long they can keep this heater alive.
And to round it out, we’ve got John Sears joining us ahead of Carolina Gold at Shadyside. This one is shaping up to be a straight-up war. Big fields, big money, and a whole lot of Lil Gangsters cars expected to roll in. If you like chaos, this is your kind of race. We’ll talk about what to expect and why this one matters.
Three guests. Three storylines. All gas.
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.
