Travis Pastrana on the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

Presented by Yoshimura

This weekend, Glen Helen Raceway will host rounds six and seven of the Nitrocross Series, and even though the vehicles will have two extra wheels; we're stoked to head out there to see some amazing racing. One of the big draws for us, of course, is the head-to-head match-up between Travis Pastrana and Brian Deegan, both in the E Division electric cars and the Can-Am Side by Sides. It's the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles X Games where both Pastrana and Deegan pulled off the world's first 360s in freestyle motocross, which gives the Deegan vs. Pastrana vibe even more juice.

We rang Travis Pastrana up on Facetime to get his take on this weekend's race, electric vehicle racing, the Stark Varg, injuries, and more.

We also have three pairs of general admission and one pair of VIP tickets for this weekend's racing at Glen Helen to give away. Want to win? Drop a comment with a compelling reason why you should win, and we will choose the four winners Thursday morning at 9 am. Good luck!

At Random With Jordan Post | Midweek Podcast Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

Jordon Post is one of one. We've gotten to know the tattooed journeyman over the last few years at rounds of Supercross and Pro Motocross, as his roles with the track crew put him on location early and in the heart of the action. After Post gets done hanging banners or helping assemble various structures around the track and paddock, he continues the hustle by picking up his camera and documenting the action in a way only he can.

The last twenty minutes of this talk take a heavy turn, as Jordan discussed the loss of his stepbrother Wills Fedrick at the Nashville race this year and the way working in the industry has helped him come to terms with the things that happen in life.

Round two of the WSX Championship went down in Abu Dhabi last weekend and sparks flew as the tiny arena required racers to get aggressive for positions.

Jason Lawrence on the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Presented by Yoshimura

It's been 13 years since Jason Lawrence's pro racing career came to an end, but the name JLaw still attracts attention whenever it pops up. A couple of weeks ago, Lawrence was invited to race the Ironman GNCC with the powerful Phoenix Honda team and his appearance sparked interest in both the fans and in Lawrence, himself.

Now, it appears, JLaw will contest this winter's AMA Arenacross Championship Series with the Phoenix Honda team, alongside defending champ Kyle Peters. JLaw phoned us up this morning on his way to North Carolina to start his preparation. The conversation was too good to hold until the middle of the week, so here ya go!
