1st Gear Podcast

We're Back! Yes we missed a week, but it doesn't seem like it. Today Tanner and Erik talk about automotive trends and why it's more fun to just do you. Chasing the internet fame has its price and usually it involves dollar signs. This is less racing and more life lessons we've learned, and we want to pass this onto you! Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!

Racing Season for Tanner is right around the corner! The Monte Carlo nose, and body is on the car, and its about ready to race. Erik, and Tanner discuss what the next generation of stock car should be like, and me modeled after. Then we explain why there are too many keyboard warriors, and come up with a real name for the nameless Nascar series. Ohh for those who read this far the letter C doesn't have it's own sound. Your welcome!

We are firing on all cylinders and about to embark on a 75 day challenge! Plus we discuss why it's fair and now factual to say they just don't make em' like they used to.

This week is a little different, we are talking Diesel trucks. Both of us have experience fixing and repairing them, and today we'll talk about some things to watch out for. Along with talk about Duramax trucks, and what years are great! Ohh, and eventually we cover the races this past weekend!

We're back! This week we'll cover everything from world issue to the ones we all seem to have at home. We said this would also have a lot of life, and the world is in a weird place. Nascar drivers were in the Epstein files, the cost of living is out of hand, and cars have gotten complicated! Ohh and we want to see the Budweiser Shootout make a comeback!

The negative bug that has plagued Nascar is starting to change. Great news keeps piling in, like Tony Stewart racing trucks at Daytona! The 750hp package should do better than we thought, and The Chase is Back! Nascar has started listening to its fans and making changes to keep moving forward. For years fans and podcasters such as ourselves have beat our head against the wall trying to make the sanctioning body hear us. We all love racing and want the sport as a whole to succeed, and we are pumped for this upcoming race season! Also, we are officially putting our names in the hat to commentate the truck series! However far that goes we dont know, but we hope you enjoy this episode!

A lot of great things are happening in the Racing World! Cummins is coming back to Nascar with Ram trucks, and Kaulig Racing. The Tulsa Shootout was epic, and we give you Tanners take on the Chili Bowl Nationals! We'll discuss who should be the next commissioner of Nascar, Steve Phelps resigning, and much more! Thank you for listening!

Denny Hamlin's family are in our thoughts and prayers right now. A few days after Christmas his parents house burned to the ground, causing severe injuries to his mom, and the loss of his father. It's just been a rough bit for the Racing world, and in times like this we all forget were on different teams. We are a community, we all have the same passion, and love horsepower. Later in the episode we go off on our random tangents, but non better than the discussion of old vs new cars! Enjoy the episode, and please share the show!
