What's Happening Wednesday June 12, 2013

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

This weekly post features the guests I’m fortunate to interview, show names, links, and show times in one convenient place.

Variety is the spice of life and with the three Internet radio shows I host I am treated to a wide variety of folks to interview within the world of motorsports.

Tonight on Drafting the Circuits we have a gentleman from the Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) who is chairing an event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Danville, Virginia this weekend. His name is Peter Krause.

Krause will explain the unique guidelines of the VSCCA, its philosophy, and discuss the great features of VIR. He is an extremely interesting man who will regale us all with stories, information, and facts!

Michele Rahal returns to talk open-wheel with Frank Santoroski and our gang to start the show. The races in F1 from Montreal and IndyCar from TMS are the topics on deck.

I will be talking about all of my experiences with Philip Mathew at Pocono Raceway this past weekend – from the ARCA race to the NASCAR Cup one, we have much to talk about with Ronnie Crate Payne and Gray Warren!

Burning Rubber Radio has a stellar line up this week with NASCAR Camping World Truck driver and winner of his first race Jeb Burton stopping by to talk about the events that went down at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend. He even talks about his famous father Ward, winner of the 2002 Daytona 500.

Chad Hackenbracht is also on hand from the NCWTS race from TMS. A racer from the ARCA series, Hackenbracht is running a four race deal with Kyle Busch Motorsports in the NCWTS which began at TMS. He will talk about the differences between ARCA cars and the trucks, his unfortunate luck, and the rest of his truck schedule with KBM. Hackenbracht is a delightful interview and someone who we’ll definitely be hearing more about throughout the season.


Chase Briscoe, dirt driver from the mid-west (USAC/MSCS), joins us to talk about his becoming a finalist in the Peak Stock Car Dream Challenge in conjunction with Michael Waltrip. We’ll find out more about this young phenom who will be testing on asphalt next month with no experience on the surface!

Finally, Corrie Stott and I will conduct the NASCAR roundtable with Ronnie Crate Payne, Andy Delay, and Bob Steele. We discuss Pocono, Jimmie Johnson, and so much more.

Heels on Wheels has a super line-up of guests including Renaissance woman Mary Beth Chambers who I had the pleasure of interviewing along with Stacey Grammar. We learned about college level courses for racers and race support, the Grand-Am Raceworks team, and how sports are all related in myriad ways.

I also file a NASCAR report centering on the personalities I was able to meet and interview while at Pocono Raceway with producer Bob Steele.

The ladies of HOW interview Kathy Stout who is the newly named partner with Connie Nyholm to VIR, and Molly Taylor, an Australian Rally driver who is competing in Europe for the World Rally Championship .

Sizzlin’ Scotty makes his weekly appearance with another mouth-watering recipe.

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.
