Built2 Media Podcast – Gateway Dirt Nationals Rookie Spotlight: Blake Adams & James Giossi

In this adrenaline-loaded episode of the Built2 Media Podcast, we’re hanging out with two rookies who rolled into one of the wildest bullrings in dirt racing — the Gateway Dirt Nationals inside the Dome at America’s Center.

Dirt Modified driver Blake Adams checks in after an impressive 10th-place finish in his rookie debut, adding yet another highlight to a season already stacked with titles in his rookie year behind the wheel of an A-Mod. With a résumé like that, why not throw the Dome onto the list? Blake breaks down what it was like to mash the throttle and battle through the chaos under the concrete roof for the very first time, from staging-lane nerves to the crowd echoing through the building.

We’re also joined by Dirt Late Model driver James Giossi, who made his first-ever run inside the Dome sporting the Built2 Media logo on his spoiler. James dives into the tight-and-treacherous indoor track, the surprises that hit once the green dropped, and what it takes to hold your line when the walls are close and the action’s even closer.

With raw behind-the-wheel stories, bold hot takes, and driver introductions straight from the pits, this episode captures the heart-pounding vibe of being a Gateway rookie.

Strap in — this one’s got that real racer energy.
