D.J., Erik, and F-R Racing’s Social Media Guy, Taka Timmerman sat down and recorded this episode after the now infamous iRacing Chicago Street Circuit Race on Wednesday Night Dash. We recap the race, the broadcast, and go into some Daytona 500 recap as well.
Daytona 500 Recap and Wednesday Night Dash at iRacing Chicago Street Circuit
Erik and D.J. are back after a week off and joined by F-R Racing Social Media guy, Taka Timmerman. We initially start to talk about the Wednesday Night Dash iRacing Chicago Street Circuit visit, but get back on topic and recap the Daytona 500, Ricky Stenhouse Jr’s first win since 2017, his post-race Waffle House trip, and some obscure winners of the 500 over the years.
We actually recorded this immediately after the completion of the Wednesday Night Dash iRacing Chicago Street Circuit race presented by The Merch Booth Podcast. Running a NASCAR Next Gen car on a city street where it’s extremely bumpy and the turns get very tight was definitely a challenge. We recap the race and discuss the dominating performance of former Garage Talk guests, Tyler Lugo-Vickery and Mark Vicars.
