Rather it is dedicated to my favorite season on the calendar … the racing season. With 2015 already punching us square in the nose with dirt racing events contested […]

Recently we brought you Ben Shelton’s excellent sit down interview with Magnolia Motor Speedway owner and promoter Johnny Stokes. (If you haven’t seen that one yet, you can check it out here.)

Pay the money and they will come. This is a theory that many racers and fans believe to be true. The more money that a track pays for an event, then the more cars and fans that will participate. This has to be true, right? Well, the reality is that in many cases it’s not. […]

In racing, practicality always takes a back seat to performance. Header tube location makes it difficult to change plugs when the engine is hot without burning your hands? Tough. You get the idea.
