Mason Massey joins Davey Segal (8:40) to look ahead to his first start at the Brickyard and discuss how his partial schedule with Alpha Prime Racing in the Xfinity Series has been going thus far. They dive into how it is running part-time, what Tommy Joe Martins is like as a boss, why he’s a team first type of driver and more, including his racing background in Georgia that saw him transition from asphalt to dirt before coming back to asphalt and making it in NASCAR.
Massey also opens up about his stutter, why he decided to go public with it several years ago, the sense of responsibility he felt to bring awareness to it and how his work away from the track has helped the next generation face their fears with stutters. Plus, how he gets his mustache to look so good, his real name (hint: it’s not Mason), realistic expectations for the rest of 2025 and more.
Davey also recaps Denny Hamlin’s impressive victory at Dover, looks ahead to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Papa Segal pays homage to Gary Nelson.
