We also did some crazy stuff like put Ross in a midget at the Chili Bowl with the help of our listeners. In the year I've been gone from World Racing Group, Ross has also now moved on, and today the show is hosted by Rob Blount and Nick Graziano. This time on Conversations, I wanted to do a reunion of sorts and get the band back together.

In dirt racing, for every Donny Schatz and Brad Sweet there are dozens of guys like Brian Smith. Brian is a regular in 410 competition at Fremont Speedway in Ohio, but is far from a professional racer. He has a full time job during the week and a family to look after, but has figured out a formula to get himself to the track each week and compete. He joins me on this episode to talk about how he makes it all work, his full time All Star season back in 1998, how he ran second to Cole Macedo a few weeks ago when he didn't even plan on racing, and his post race traditions of freezer pops and Hot Wheels races for the kids.

This time I'm joined by sprint car crew chief Heath Moyle who is currently leading the way for Heffner Racing in Pennsylvania and driver Tim Shaffer. Heath was a long time World of Outlaws crew member, working for teams like Kasey Kahne Racing and Larson Marks which became Kyle Larson Racing. He's been a part of some incredible seasons and wins, but things in his life changed dramatically in 2019 when an accident sent him to the ICU and left him wondering about his future.

One driver who has bucked that trend though is Paul Nienhiser. The 2019 MOWA sprint car champion started driving winged 410s when he was 15 and has been nearly exclusively a winged guy in the years since. That was until very recently. Paul is currently in his rookie season with the USAC National Sprint Car Series, driving for KO Motorsports as a teammate to Chase Stockon. He currently sits 10th in the USAC national points and is coming off an up and down weekend in Pennsylvania.
