What's Happening Wednesday June 5, 2013

Welcome to What’s Happening Wednesday on Chief 187™Chatter.

This week on Drafting the Circuits we are welcoming two guests back to the program. The first is the delightful and lovely Sylvia Porter who runs Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, SC. Sylvia’s track is nicknamed “The Super Track of the Carolinas” and hosts manydifferent series and races throughout the season, including Crate’s own Southeast Super Trucks.



Chase Briscoe is an acoomplished young man who is returning to our show. This driver runs 410 non-wing sprint cars in USAC, MSCS, and locally. Briscoe was recently announced as one of the 10 finalists in the Peak Stock Car Dream Challenge so we’ll have a lot to talk to him about tonight!



Burning Rubber Radio continues its tradition of hosting the winner – or points’ winner – of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with Matt Crafton who came in second to Kyle Busch in Dover last weekend. We also speak to Frank Kimmel who won the ARCA race last weekend.



Corrie Stott joins me for our weekly rountable in which we discuss the NASCAR Sprint Cup race with show hosts Andy Delay, Bob Steele, and Ronnie Crate Payne. Just like belly buttons, we all have our opinions and feel strongly about sharing them! Andy takes the heat for a comment he made last week so be sure to tune in for all of that! Lastly, Chef John Dicks shares another one of his scrumptious recipes.

Heels on Wheels has producer Bob Steele and me discussing the NASCAR Sprint Cup race from Dover and tackling perspective on Jimmie Johnson’s penalty among other things. The ladies of the program interview Dina Parise, Tracy Daniel, and Lea Anne P. Chef Sizzlin’ Scotty brings another fantastic dish to the table.

What's Happening Wednesday May 29, 2013

Welcome to What’s Happening Wednesday on Chief 187™Chatter!

Each week offers something new and exciting on the three radio shows I am fortunate to be a part. The guests we book all bring something to the table and this week they are off the hook!



Tonight on Drafting the Circuits we will break down the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 with Michele Rahal. Frank and Laura Santoroski represented Drafting the Circuits at the latter this past weekend and brought back amazing images both via words and pictures to share with our readers. We hope to bring Frank on to illuminate the action he witnessed. Gerry Wright of Dover International Speedway will swing by to talk about his beloved track and give us his opinion of what we’re to see racing-wise at the Monster Mile this weekend in all three of NASCAR’s top series. Then we’ll talk to CJ Faison who is a K&N Pro Series East driver and who happens to be driving a NCWTS truck in Friday night’s race in Dover. Finally Ronnie Crate Payne, Sinista 1 Keith Hayes, Gray Warren, and I, Chief 187™Candice Smith, will break down the Coca Cola 600, address opinions that it’s too long, and will preview Dover.



Burning Rubber Radio is scheduled to also talk to CJ Faison. In fact, I tape this program on Mondays and is when and how I found him. All credit to program host Andy Delay who made the contact with Faison and graciously shared with me. In addition we will talk to iRacing two-time NASCAR champion Ray Alfalla.



We discuss the nuances of iRacing and how the simulation races he competes in a season have added up to two championships with all the bells, whistles, and money of note. Corrie Stott joins me for the roundtable portion of the program when we discuss many racing topics, some that turn heated. When Crate, Delay, and Bob Steele add their voices and opinions the segment is enhanced and is becoming folks’ favorite. Chef John Dicks shares one of his tasty recipes, too.



Heels on Wheels has another great show on tap. I was excited to interview good friend Andi Lee Camassar of Whatever You Need Race Assistance who was fresh from two weeks spent at Lowes Charlotte Motor Speedway where she’d worked tirelessly. Camassar gives great insight into her career, the racing world, and more. It’s a don’t-miss spot! Producer Bob Steele and I take a segment to talk about the Monaco Grand Prix (F1), the Indianapolis 500 (IndyCar), and the Coca Cola 600 (NASCAR) and leave no stone un-turned! The ladies also get to talk to racers Natasha Stokes, Sierra Lantz, and Jessica Mase. Finally, Sizzlin’ Scotty brings one of his fabulous recipes to the show.

What's Happening Wednesday May 1, 2013

Welcome to What’s Happening Wednesday on Chief 187™Chatter!

Each week I have the privilege of interviewing fascinating people in the world of motorsports in addition to talking about the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with some of the finest minds.



Tonight on Drafting the Circuits I am delighted to have NASCAR Camping World Truck driver and race promoter at two tracks, Rick Crawford. He held the record for most starts in the NCWTS! And now Crawford is helming not one but two fabulous tracks. The first is in Mobile, Alabama and the other is in Montana! We’ll talk to him about that and so much more. As always we’ll have marvelous Michele Rahal file his open wheel report about IndyCar and Formula 1. Ronnie Crate Payne, Sinista 1/Keith Hayes, Gray Warren, and I, Chief 187™/Candice Smith will cover NASCAR up and down and all around!



Burning Rubber Radio gives a lot of love to ARCA and NCWTS drivers this week. Special guests include Frank Kimmel, Sean Corr, bothof whom are competing in ARCA at Talladega, and Bobby Dale Earnhardt. With a full cast of characters – Andy Delay, Bob Steele, Ronnie Crate Payne, Corrie Stott, Charles Robinson, John Dicks, and me, Chief 187™/Candice Smith, there is something for everyone!



The Heels on Wheels radio show brings freshness to motorsports broadcasting featuring all-female guests and panel. I am thrilled to be a part of the show offering a weekly NSCS report as well as occasional interviews. This week I had the good fortune to speak with Stefy Bau, the Motocross and Supercross superstar who dominated the sport until a career-ending accident changed her path. We had an insightful and informative conversation that you won’t want to miss! Other guests include Sue Robinson, Maria Costello, Jesse Selig, and Renee Jones.

What's Happening Wednesday April 24, 2013

Welcome to What’s Happening Wednesday on Chief 187™Chatter.

This week on Drafting the Circuits we are expecting two guests from the world of NASCAR Sprint Cup. Doug Richert has been a player at NASCAR’s top level since he was a young lad and became the crew chief for Dale Earnhardt in 1980. Together they each earned their first Cup. Richert has been a crew chief for years with many notables in NASCAR. For the 2013 season Richert oversees both BK Racing teams with David Reutimann in the No. 83 car and Travis Kvapil in the No. 93 car. Richert and Reutimann will be my special guests LIVE on Drafting the Circuits tonight!

Burning Rubber Radio will have less of me this week due to personal reasons – my son’s opening game in Little League was on taping night – but my NASCAR Cup report is there. The show is still wonderful and features the winner of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Kansas, ThorSport Racing driver Matt Crafton! More great segments with Corrie Stott who breaks down the recent fines by NASCAR and so much more!

Heels on Wheels will once again feature my NASCAR Cup report. This week I also get to interview prolific and talented writer Tammy Kaehler who has written two novels that she calls racing mysteries. She is a delight and someone whose books I’m interested in reading. The ladies on the show also got to interview Janet Guthrie so definitely tune in for the entire program!

What's Happening Wednesday - April 17, 2013

Welcome to another What’s Happening Wednesday on Chief 187™Chatter.

I’m incredibly fortunate to work on several awesome iRadio programs that cover the racing world. Each week I’m using the Wednesday blog post to share with y’all what names are featured as guests and what I’ll be talking about on the different shows I appear.



Tonight LIVE on Drafting the Circuits I am proud to announce that racer Molly Helmuth from Washington State will be with us. She’s a dynamo in the world of racing who earned the NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors in 2012 for Super Late Models in Washington State. Recently Molly was a finalist in the Champion Spark Plug Search for a Champion contest. We’ll have a great time learning about this young driver and finding out where her future is taking her. Of course we will also be talking Formula 1 and IndyCar with Michele Rahal. NASCAR talk will commence with our regular panel as well. You never know what will be said on our LIVE show so tune in early and stick around for the entire program!



Starting Thursday Burning Rubber Radio airs with over 20 amazing interviews from The Rock where show host Andy Delay and returning host Charles Robinson covered the event. From Johnny Sauter to Darrell Wallace Jr. (having choice words for Ron Hornaday Jr.) and race winner and wunderkind Kyle Larson, there are tons of great at-event interviews. In addition, Southeast Super Trucks winner Kenneth Headen stops by as well as race winner Jessica Green fresh from her win down in Florida in a truck series. The show is jam-packed so don’t miss a moment!



After the Thursday broadcast of Burning Rubber Radio and Drafting the Circuits, tune in for Heels on Wheels. This show is staffed entirely by women save the producer, radio veteran, racecar driver, and all-around great guy Bob Steele. He and I do a segment together discussing the Cup race from last week – the NRA 500 from Texas Motor Speedway. Kyle Busch is talked about a lot. The entire show is fascinating with interviews with women all throughout racing.
Here are air/show times for these radio programs:

What's Happening Wednesday

What’s Happening Wednesday is a new feature I am introducing on Chief 187™Chatter to keep people aware of who my guest on Drafting the Circuits is, what we’re talking about on Burning Rubber Radio, and what time all of these shows air – including my stint on Heels on Wheels.

This week Drafting the Circuits has special guest Andy Hillenburg, owner of Rockingham Speedway, who is coming around to talk about the big weekend has track is hosting. With NASCAR’s two of the three top series running at night in Texas Friday and Saturday, Hillenburg’s track gets the spotlight on Sunday for his North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at The Rock presented by Cheerwine for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. It was announced this week that NSCS driver Joey Logano will be in a truck at The Rock. All of the regular NCWTS drivers will be there, too, like 2-time consecutive winner this season Johnny Sauter.

Sauter is having a tremendous season so far and I was fortunate to get to talk to him on Burning Rubber Radio. He is a fun interview as he’s in such good spirits of late. In addition, the gang at BRR also spoke to Casey Roderick, a young driver who was plucked out of obscurity by Bill Elliott. The driver, a talented shoe, is currently seeking sponsorship and a consistent ride.

My regular gig at Heels on Wheels continues this week when producer Bob Steele and I dissect the NSCS race from Martinsville. We talk about Jimmie Johnson’s domination, Danica Patrick’s solid run, Mark Martin’s substitution for Denny Hamlin, and the hard luck of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Here are air/show times for these radio programs:
