Pit Chatter Podcast – Episode 75: Packed Pits, Wild Races, and Oak Level 2026
Hosted by Langley Austin & Noah Hinchee

This week’s episode is packed with short track action and big news!

We kick things off at Ararat BullRing, where two nights of racing delivered everything from perfect track conditions on Friday to a raceable but tricky surface on Saturday. Friday’s Non-Winners races brought us fresh faces in victory lane—including maybe the best Late Model race of the season. Saturday night didn’t disappoint either: a new Late Model winner emerged, a controversial bounty payout in Pro4 stole the headlines, Stock4 drew 18 strong entries, and the Crown Vics put on a wild show. With 81 cars on the property and a near-full outer lot, plus a packed grandstand crowd, the BullRing was buzzing.

Sunday night, the action shifted to Franklin County Raceway for the Memorial 100, where a big crowd and a tough Mini Stock field headlined a solid show that also crowned champions. We also touch on results from Wythe Raceway and Natural Bridge Speedway over the weekend.

Then, special guest Bo Miller of Oak Level Raceway joins the show to talk about the recent permit denial and what’s next for the track. Spoiler: racing will return in 2026—on Friday nights—and we dive into his plans to make Oak Level Raceway great again.
