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. Plus, the bounty on Danny Henning returns August 30th in the Pro4s with a staggering $1,600 on the line for anyone who can take him down.The BullRing also dropped a huge bombshell announcement: the $10,000-to-win Stock4 World Championship is set for November 14-15, instantly stirring conversation across the region.But it wasn’t just Ararat where the action was wild. 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.
