Buckle up, race fans — The Smart Mod Pod is back, broadcasting from our brand-new studio at the Stanley Law Group: the Cross-Examine Cabin. This episode kicks off a new era as Virginia State Senator and race team owner Bill Stanley sits down with Chris Williams, Director of the SMART Modified Tour, to talk all things Caraway Speedway and much more.

🚗 With the Revolutionary 99 at Caraway fast approaching on July 5th, Chris and Bill dive into what fans can expect from this stacked event — including a projected 27+ car field, the intense competition, and behind-the-scenes insight on why Caraway is known (lovingly) as “WreckFest.”

🔥 Plus, they break down the viral chaos from Bowman Gray Stadium’s recent street stock race, complete with a “kung fu panda in a fire suit” and double birds !

This episode is a wild mix of history, humor, hard truths, and heart, all with the unmistakable voice of Southern short-track racing. Whether you’re a diehard Modified fan or new to the sport, The Smart Mod Pod delivers the drama and passion that make racing great.
