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.
