Note sull'episodio

Dave Stall and Brittany Sandoval open Racer Radio with Dan Murphy, son of pioneering racer Paula Murphy, the legendary “Fastest Woman on Wheels.” Dan shares stories about growing up with a mother who raced everything from sports cars and Funny Cars to jet and rocket-powered machines, earning respect in an era when women faced enormous barriers in motorsports. He also discusses her racing memorabilia and draws a fascinating connection between his mother and today’s rising female racer Eily Stafford.

Dirt Dude checks in from Barona Speedway following the final IMCA points night, where championships were decided and young Chance Wade continued his incredible run with a sixth consecutive main-event victory. Then Scott Daloisio recaps another packed Night of Destruction at Perris Auto Speedway and previews the remaining sprint car and stock car championship battles.

Drag racer RJ Simrock joins the show after victories at Woodburn and Redding put him within striking distance of an NHRA Heritage Series championship heading into Bakersfield. He also talks about Barona Drag Strip’s growing events and an incredible collection of historic Ramona Raceway memorabilia—including old fire suits, posters, tickets, time slips, photographs, and racing-club artifacts—that he hopes can eventually be displayed for fans.

The second hour brings the fun into the studio with Eric Milcheski, his brother Alan, Allie Milcheski, and longtime friend Brandon Rickerson. Eric talks about racing his longtime Pony Stock at Barona, selling the car only to buy it back, and the family-and-friends atmosphere behind grassroots racing. From a groundbreaking woman who helped change motorsports history to today’s local racers keeping that spirit alive, Episode 92 connects racing’s past, present, and future.
