Pit Chatter Podcast

This week on the Pit Chatter Podcast, Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee break down a packed weekend of racing across the region and ask the big question everybody’s talking about… if there were around 250 cars spread across four tracks, why are we still racing against each other?The guys dive into the direct scheduling conflicts between Tri-County, Hickory, Lonesome Pine, and Newport and discuss what it means for car counts, fans, purses, and the future of short track racing in the region.They also recap the Ted Caldwell Memorial at Newport Speedway where Zach Franks picked up the win over Lee Tissot and Landon Huffman, Kyle Dudley’s domination at Lonesome Pine, and Landon Huffman making his Cleetus McFarland Indy 8000 debut.Plus:Ridgerunner Late Model Series controversy at Wythe RacewayKenny Compton’s disqualificationBenji Hicks scoring the winModified Mafia rolling into Oak Level RacewayPreviewing the SMART Modified Tour heading to Franklin County SpeedwayReal racing talk, promoter insight, hot takes, and plenty of fan interaction from the live chat — this is Pit Chatter.

Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee break down a wild weekend and the questions everybody’s asking…Pulaski is back — but did it live up to the hype?Landon Lewis goes from penalty to victory lane at Caraway — is that the drive of the year already?Burt Myers vs Jake Crum at Wake County… was it hard racing or something brewing bigger?Then it gets real…New clay at Oak Level has the potential to change everything — and the speed might be about to pick up in a big way.What’s really going on at Franklin County? Is the SMART Modified race happening?And the question nobody wants to ask but everybody’s thinking — is Ararat BullRing gone for good?Plus, we went back and forth with the fans, answered questions live, and let the comments steer the show like only short track racing can.This one’s got opinions, debate, and a whole lot of truth.👇 Tap in, listen up, and then sound off.

There’s a shift happening—and if you’ve been paying attention, you can feel it.Episode 105 dives headfirst into a wild weekend that perfectly sums up where short track racing in our region stands right now. Langley made the trip to Princeton and spent nearly four hours at the track without seeing a single race. Frustrating? No doubt. But here’s the kicker—the place was packed, the facility looked great, and the racing surface was in top shape. Everything was there… except the racing itself. Princeton eventually got the show in, but not until around 1:30am—long after Langley and his crew had headed out.Meanwhile, dirt racing keeps grinding.Oak Level Raceway hosted the RidgeRunner Late Model Series opener with 12 cars, followed by 7 at Wythe Raceway the next night. Not massive numbers, but considering the competition from other steel block races across the region, it’s a solid starting point for something that’s trying to grow the right way. The surface at Oak Level is improving—not perfect yet—but help is on the way as Bubba Miller brings in fresh clay from Wythe ahead of the Modified Mafia doubleheader on May 8-9.On the asphalt side, things continue to be a struggle.Franklin County remains the biggest question mark in the region as uncertainty keeps building around whether cars will even hit the track. We break down the latest and what it could mean moving forward. There’s also discussion around Natural Bridge, plus a preview of the opener at Pulaski County Motorsports Park and what kind of car count to expect. IHRA’s second race at Pulaski didn’t quite match the momentum of the first, and we dig into why.And as always, the live viewers brought the heat with questions, comments, and opinions that kept the conversation rolling.Dirt might not have all the answers—but right now, it’s the one still swinging.

What was supposed to be a straightforward conversation turned into one of the most bizarre episodes in Pit Chatter Podcast history.Franklin County Speedway’s newly announced promoter, Rowsey, joins hosts Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee for Episode 104. The expectation? A breakdown of his new role, plans for the season, and a message to racers and fans about the future of the track.That’s not what happened.Instead, Rowsey admits he doesn’t have details about the race he’s agreed to promote, suggests his role may only involve posting on Facebook, and then delivers a shocking message—telling Langley he needs to reconcile with his father, Whitey Taylor, or there may be no racing at all this season.Confusion sets in quickly.As the conversation unfolds, signal issues cut in and out while Rowsey is on the road—leaving more questions than answers and no real clarity on whether Franklin County Speedway will see a green flag in 2026.Langley is left trying to make sense of it all. Noah is left speechless—which might be a first.After weeks of uncertainty, including the last-minute announcement that the track would be leased just days before opening night, Episode 104 captures the chaos, frustration, and reality of where things stand right now.Is this truly the end of racing at Franklin County… or just another chapter in a story that keeps taking unexpected turns?

The wheels came off the bus at Franklin County Speedway.... literally. Noah Hinchee and Langley Austin discuss the recent changes in management at Franklin County that took over bizarrely over the weekend.It's a wild episode, Langley is at the center of the controversy but says little to nothing and meanwhile, Noah lets loose his thoughts on the recent happenings and we mean LOOSE.... The commenters from the live show are wild too as they offer their opinions on the suddent change.

Noah Hinchee and Langley Austin discuss the big night opening at Oak Level Raceway and of course it couldn't be done without discussing the Scott Foley/Nate Young wreck and the ensuing controversy due to the next restart. That and much more about Oak Level's opener.

Episode 101 was fired up as we talked about Kyle Dudley's dominance at Pulaski County Motorsports Park in the IHRA debut, talk of the hot tub time machine and what's too old to be making babies? All that and more on this episode.

For weeks, they talked about what episode 100 would be but instead, it was a big letdown. Noah forgot we were even having an episode and couldn't even get his phone to sit properly and Langley was late as usual after not getting the new tower studio setup.The listeners didn't miss though; they had plenty to laugh about with talk of all the racing topics this week, including discussion of practice at Oak Level and then the Tuesday cancellation of the race... for rain that isn't even in the forecast... We'll explain. Pulaski County Motorsports Park's lackluster entry list but high expectations and South Boston's potential field for the $20k SMART King of the Modifieds and local Late Model show. Plus update on Brian Rowsey and more.

This week on the live show, hosts Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee discuss the season opening CARS Tour event where things got heated in victory lane after Kaden Kvapil fences Doug Barnes Jr on the final restart to take the win.

Episode 92 of the Pit Chatter Podcast was driven by the fans — a full-on live conversation with viewers covering just about everything happening across our corner of short track racing.The discussion hit hard on Franklin County Speedway with talk around rules, direction, and plans moving forward, before shifting gears to Oak Level Raceway and the recent wave of Facebook Warriors lighting up the comment sections.The chat also dug into Ararat BullRing banquet details and plenty of other topics straight from the live audience — unfiltered, honest, and exactly how Pit Chatter is supposed to be.Hosted by Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee, this episode is all about open conversation, answering questions, and letting the fans steer the show.If you like real talk, live interaction, and the good, bad, and loud sides of short track racing — this one’s for you. 🏁

Episode 91 of the Pit Chatter Podcast is the post-Christmas / New Year hangover episode where the boys recap a big moment that snuck up fast — the Oak Level Raceway test session that came together with just 24 hours notice and still delivered in a big way.Seeing cars back on track at Oak Level Raceway was a sight for sore eyes, and the turnout proved just how hungry racers are to get back to work. One of the coolest moments of the day? Slammin’ Sammy Cooke rolling back onto the track in his Steel Block Late Model — a legendary Oak Level name making laps again where it all matters.The episode also dives into more stories, laughs, and real-time reactions from the live show hosted by Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee, covering everything from offseason momentum to what moments like this mean for the future of local short track racing.It’s gritty. It’s unscripted. And it’s exactly how a New Year should start — with engines fired, dirt flying, and race tracks coming back to life. 🏁

This week on Pit Chatter, Langley and Noah break down the announcement of Franklin County Speedway’s “new” management for the 2026 season — and what it really means moving forward.After a one-year absence, Langley Austin is officially taking the track back over, bringing with him lessons learned from a full season promoting dirt racing and applying them to the future of Franklin County Speedway. The conversation covers expectations, challenges, and how experience from Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway will shape decisions in 2026.They also discuss the reality of running three racetracks in one season, the time constraints that come with it, and what has to change operationally to make it all work without losing what makes each track special.No fluff. No corporate spin. Just an honest conversation about responsibility, growth, and the road ahead for one of Virginia’s most talked-about short tracks.

Brian Rowsey joins Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee for an episode that goes exactly how you’d expect. Rowsey, who at one point promoted a single race at Natural Bridge Speedway, shares his belief that the track wouldn’t still be around if not for his involvement — a statement that immediately sets the tone.The discussion dives headfirst into the firestorm that followed that event, including Rowsey’s remarks calling non-winning racers who expected to get paid “losers,” his stance that tow money and payouts beyond the top five shouldn’t exist, and his belief that cutting payouts is the key to keeping racetracks financially alive.Whether you agree with him or not — and many won’t — this episode is raw, uncomfortable at times, and exactly the kind of conversation short track racing rarely has out loud. Opinions clash, tempers flare, and nothing is off the table.This one isn’t for everyone — but it is Pit Chatter.

This week’s episode comes a day late after a difficult Tuesday, but Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee still sit down to talk racing the only way they know how — real and unfiltered.With the season winding down and not much on-track action to break down, the conversation shifts to the cultural differences between dirt and asphalt racers — how conflict, fighting, Facebook drama, and public call-outs are handled very differently depending on the surface. The guys also talk about how today’s dirt racing culture mirrors what asphalt racing used to be before social media changed everything.Sometimes there’s no race to recap — but there’s always racing to talk about. This episode is a laid-back, thoughtful look at where the sport has been, where it is, and how the culture continues to evolve in the off-season.

Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee break down a wild weekend at the Thanksgiving Classic from Southern National Motorsports Park, where drama hit harder than the bumpers.The headline moment: Josh Berry gets disqualified after his own team’s protest of winner Doug Barnes Jr. backfires — only for Barnes to file a retaliation protest that seals the deal. You couldn’t script it any better.They also dive into:• Lee Pulliam’s strong run in the JR Motorsports ride• the controversial call that sent him to the rear after Berry chopped across his nose• the fan uproar over the Ultra Broadcasting PPV stream, after UB has always been a subscription-style service• and more stories from a packed weekend of racing actionIf you missed the chaos, they’ve got you covered — this episode untangles every twist, protest, and controversy from one of Late Model racing’s biggest fall events.

It’s Thanksgiving week at Pit Chatter, which means one thing: the annual Thanksgiving Dinner Draft.Langley and Noah square off once again, building their dream holiday meal live on air — and somehow, for the second straight year, Noah steals the win in the comments section.Between plates of turkey, mac ’n’ cheese, and questionable picks, the guys still find time to talk racing. They dive into the hot debate around the so-called “death of Stock4 racing,” whether the name still fits the division today, and what (if anything) needs fixing.Plus, they take viewer questions live, stir up some laughs, and deliver a little chaos just in time for Thanksgiving.

Fresh off a wild weekend at Ararat BullRing, Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee go live to break down the $10,000-to-win Stock4 World Championship — an event that will go down in BullRing history.They cover it all:• the massive crowd and electric atmosphere• the twists and turns of the race itself• the post-race tech controversy that had everyone talking• and the moments that made this one of the biggest Stock4 shows ever heldFrom triumph to turmoil, this episode dives deep into an unforgettable night at the BullRing — and why it proves Front Wheel Drive racing can be on a big stage.

It’s race week madness at the BullRing, and both hosts are feeling the pressure — just in totally different ways.Langley Austin is buried in final prep for the biggest race of the year, the $10,000-to-win showdown at Ararat BullRing, while Noah Hinchee is thrashing in the shop, getting Jaden Austin’s car ready at the eleventh hour.From promoter panic to pit-side chaos, this live episode captures the behind-the-scenes hustle that makes grassroots racing what it is — real, raw, and always on the edge of being late.

This week, Langley and Noah dive into a wild weekend in short track racing — starting with the catastrophe at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Dirt Track during the 10th Annual Short Track World Championship. The track conditions were a disaster, with ruts deep enough to lose a car in, flips in every turn, and fires lighting up the night.We also unpack the surprising news of Pulaski County Motorsports Park announcing plans to return in 2026 — but with a vague press release, no clear leadership, and plenty of questions about what the county’s involvement means for its future success.Plus, we tackle the Ryan Millington disqualification at Ace Speedway’s Big Ace Race after his apparent victory — breaking down what happened, why it matters, and what it says about short track officiating today.

Another 💩 show of a podcast that includes glitches, talks about Mike Fulp, and comments on the live show from Brian Rowsey of Natural Bridge Speedway fame or infamy.We talk about the $10k Limited race at Caraway Speedway and the controversy that came with it. It was one of the most interesting scenarios ever at the finish of a race. One guy won the race twice, but the other guy who won it once in between the two times that the other guy won it once actually got the money ... yeah we were confused to...

Langley Austin and Noah Hinchee are back with another wild week of short track stories, and Episode 72 of the Pit Chatter Podcast might be the most action-packed yet.We start at Ararat BullRing, where chaos stole the headlines — Ronnie Covey flipped and a fuel spill led to the track literally being set on fire, Joey Johnson rode the backstretch wall in the Modifieds, and Autograph Night gave fans a show they won’t forget.

Around the racing world, the full moon lived up to its reputation — tragedy struck at Bowman Gray Stadium as beloved racer Robbie Brewer passed after suffering a heart attack during competition, Connor Zilisch celebrated victory lane by falling off his car and breaking his collarbone, a wrecker entered the track mid-race and took out the leader, and the Barnes family brawled with Greg Bohanan at Kingsport Speedway.Off the track, the Oak Level Raceway rumors became reality, with Bo Miller confirmed as the new owner and a key county meeting set for August 27th to move operations forward. Meanwhile, Franklin County Raceway is gearing up for back-to-back shows — back in action August 16th, then wrapping the season August 31st with the prestigious Memorial 100 Limited Sportsman race, paying at least $3,000 to win.If you missed the madness, we’ve got you covered — tune in for the full breakdown of one of the wildest weeks we’ve seen in racing this year.

We kicked things off with the usual BS before diving into a packed weekend recap. From 48 hours of CARS Tour action at Hickory – including Mini Tyrrell's win, Kaden Honeycutt getting the black flag, and the Tristen McKee/Landon Lewis wreck – to wondering if John Campbell already knew the outcome before it happened, we had plenty to chew on. Oh, and Bowman Gray? They decided not to continue tech this week like they did the weekend before.Then came the main event: a deep dive into Stock4 chaos at Franklin County Raceway. Wesley Givens’ night went from bad to worse – first black flagged for a questionable blocking call against Keyshaun Claytor, then DQ’d from the second race for lining up wrong on the restart. But the real jaw-dropper? Tech inspection by burnouts to check transmissions. Two failed – including Givens – but after further inspection, his wasn’t illegal… yet it was still banned from future competition. Meanwhile, another assumed LSD transmission was deemed legal because the car could have come from the factory with it (without confirming if it actually did).This mess led to a midweek rules change now allowing LSD transmissions in that specific car model. Givens still got the DQ, not for the infraction itself, but for his reaction to it. Confused? So were we – but we break down every bit of it in this episode.
