A Rookie Wins NASCAR's Run for the Roses

We saw a first at Kentucky, a Rookie taking the checkered flag. The last 30 laps were arguably some of the most exciting laps this season - with 4 different leaders, 2 restarts and a last lap pass by the surprising winner. It was the NASCAR equivalent of the Run for the Roses. 

As NASCAR prepares for their All Star Race in Thunder Valley, this week’s 6 Degrees of NASCAR Tony will connect the god of Thunder, THOR (Chris Hemsworth) to NASCAR in less than 6 Degrees of Separation. In Racing Through Life segment, we talk about the prospect of school starting in the fall with COVID-19 as a backdrop.

About the Podcast

Let's Go Racing Family Podcast
A family podcast dedicated to our view of life through the lens of racing and NASCAR.
The Let's Go Racing Family Podcast is about our love of NASCAR, travel, and just being a family. Our family includes Mom, Dad, and our three boys (Sebastian, Gio, and Johann).

We thought a podcast would be cool way for us to share our own opinions and tell our own stories.

We have different show formats that will alternate throughout the season (Race Recaps and Let's Go Racing Family Xtras). Race Recap episodes will feature our family discussing story lines from previous races. The Xtra episodes, will feature more variety segments, such as "6 Degrees of NASCAR - connecting pop-culture to NASCAR in less than 6 degrees of separation" or "Racing Through Life." Every weekly episode, regardless of format, will include Race Picks - where our family make our picks for who we think will win the Cup Series race that weekend.

Join us on our family adventure into the worlds of racing, family, and podcasting.
