One of the more surprising and fun storylines of the 2025 sprint car season was the performance of Bill Balog.

On this episode come hang out with me and Bill as we talk through it all, including what made the difference this year, why he doesn't go drive for another team, and what he thinks about Carson Macedo and the Scelzis.
Sprint car racing continues to shift and change at a rapid rate. We've got two national series, a regional scene that is undergoing it's own transformations, and a bunch of driver and team swaps for 2026. One year ago around this time we talked the state of sprint car racing with Jeremy Elliott, and today he's back to do it again. We're talking World of Outlaws, High Limit, the PA series, champions, storylines, and a lot more.
At the top of dirt late model racing, there are only a handful of major chassis players. But when you venture away from the big tours, there are others building, pushing things forward, and helping people go race.

Photos of a particular late model on display inside the PRI show have made the rounds on social media, and it's a cool looking piece, but it wouldn't be allowed to race with any major dirt late model series. We'll take a look at the car and share what's illegal, plus sprint car wraps, USAC schedules, and more.
It was a big day of breaking news across dirt racing from the PRI show. We'll dive into the big stuff today, including FloRacing buying Lucas, Gio Scelzi's deal is official, new rides for Daulton Wilson and Chris Madden, and more.
