THE WES BUCK SHOW \u2013 EPISODE 439
\u201cINDY CHAMPS, YELLOW BULLET BADASSES & ONE HELL OF A WEEKEND\u201d<\/p>\n

WE\u2019RE BACK FROM INDY. WE\u2019RE TIRED. OUR LIVERS ARE QUESTIONABLE. AND WE\u2019VE GOT WINNERS IN THE HOUSE.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Nationals are officially in the books, Yellow Bullet was absolutely WILD, and somehow we\u2019ve made it home in one piece.<\/p>\n

Barely.<\/p>\n

This week on The Wes Buck Show, we\u2019re recapping one hell of a week in drag racing with three dudes who were right in the middle of it.<\/p>\n

First up, J.R. Gray.<\/p>\n

Reigning NHRA Pro Mod World Champion.<\/p>\n

And now\u2026<\/p>\n

U.S. NATIONALS CHAMPION.<\/p>\n

J.R. rolled into the biggest drag race on the planet, qualified No. 2, fought his way through a loaded Pro Mod field, and took down Justin Bond in the final with a 5.701 at 252 mph to grab his first Indy Wally.<\/p>\n

Winning Pro Mod races is hard.<\/p>\n

Winning Indy is different.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re gonna talk about the weekend, what that Diamond Wally means, and what\u2019s next as J.R. keeps swinging in the Road to the Championship.<\/p>\n

Then we\u2019ve got Fletcher Cox, fresh off taking care of business at Yellow Bullet Nationals.<\/p>\n

Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n

Pro Mod madman.<\/p>\n

And now he\u2019s adding another big-ass drag racing trophy to the collection.<\/p>\n

Fletcher and the boys went to war at one of the wildest races on the calendar and came home on top. We\u2019ll get the whole story, talk about the weekend, and probably find out what kind of ridiculous horsepower he\u2019s planning to throw money at next.<\/p>\n

And rounding this thing out, Tony Wilson joins us after a BIG showing at Indy.<\/p>\n

Tony rolled into the U.S. Nationals with that badass Willys and qualified No. 3 in an absolutely stacked NHRA Pro Mod field with a 5.710 at nearly 250 mph.<\/p>\n

At Indy.<\/p>\n

Against THAT field.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019ll play.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll talk about the weekend, the progress this team continues to make, and what Tony has cooking next.<\/p>\n

INDY WINNER. YELLOW BULLET WINNER. ONE BADASS WILLYS.<\/p>\n

Three racers who had themselves one hell of a week.<\/p>\n

And three guys who probably have stories we can\u2019t put in the damn show description.<\/p>\n

PERFECT.<\/p>\n

LET\u2019S GOOOOOO!<\/p>\n

Each week on The Wes Buck Show, Wes Buck, JT \u201cMurder T\u201d Hudson, and Mike Carpenter bring their unique insights and analysis to the most electrifying moments and storylines from across the drag racing world.<\/p>\n
