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 22, 2013

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



This week’s Drafting the Circuits has a decidedly IndyCar theme. The Indianapolis 500 – The Greatest Spectacle in Racing – takes place this Memorial Day Weekend and we are dedicating a good portion of the show to that.



Our guest is “Speedy” Dan Clarke, a British driver who now calls Indianapolis home. Clarke has run everything from UK Formula Ford to the Champ Car World Series, the Firestone Indy Lights Series to driving road courses in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Most recently Clarke has earned the 2012 Intercontinental Trophy Cup Porsche Cayman Championship. In addition to IndyCar we’ll talk about Formula 1 in Monaco with the masterful Michele Rahal. And Ronnie Crate Payne, Gray Warren, Sinista 1 Keith Hayes, and I, Chief 187™Candice Smith, will get to talk about the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coca~Cola (World) 600. It is the preview of 1261.8 miles of racing this Memorial Day Weekend!





Burning Rubber Radio kicks off this weekend with runner up at the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 in Charlotte, Brendan Gaughan. I asked host Andy Delay to secure this guest that very night and, like he always does, Delay came through! Gaughan gives a candid interview leaving me – and our listeners – totally endeared to him. Buzzie Reutimann, NASCAR Sprint Cup driver David’s father, swings by to talk about his most recent race and a career that has stretched the decades, includes his son as team owner, and keeps him in the cockpit of his racecar in his seventies. A post-All-Star race roundtable between Delay, Bob Steele, Ronnie Crate Payne, Corrie Stott, and me, Candice Smith, is spirited. And stay tuned for Chef John Dicks' famous ribs recipe, the one that Tony “Smoke” Stewart always indulges in when Dicks cooks for him at the races.





Heels on Wheels this week finds me talking to one of my favorite ladies, Shawna Robinson. She is as charming, forth-coming, and interesting as ever and tells us about her storied career, personal choices, and re-invention post-racing. I also have Kelley Picasso, co-founder of Autosport Labs who introduces our audience to Race Capture Pro, an open source racecar data and telemetry system that is being sold at a very accessible price point. Producer and race enthusiast/racecar driver Bob Steele joins me to talk NASCAR as well. The other ladies interview Motocross Racer Sue Fish and Casey Roderick PR Person Renee Jones. And always stick around for Sizzlin’ Scotty’s recipe!
