They recount the Tuesday night race where their driver, NASCAR® great Ryan Newman gets the checkers for Sadler/Stanley racing in the first race back at the track in over two decades. And, the boys tease what will be a phenomenal interview with the man who was the primary driving force in bringing back racing to North Wilkesboro for next week’s episode. In the “Leaning Right” moment, Sadler and the Senator discuss the price of politics, and how some in the political world view this podcast, and the no-holds barred way that Hermie and Bill deliver the unvarnished truth to power, as threatening to the “old boy” political system in Virginia. A historic day for racing and a wild ride for the listener make this episode a must listen!
In the 30th episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left, Hermie and the Senator are “turning left,” to record the events surrounding the return of open-wheel modified racing to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway, and they sit down with the legendary crew chief for NASCAR® Hall of Famer Junior Johnson, the one and only Jeff Hammond, to talk about the history and future of this hallowed cathedral of racing.
