NASCAR is Back

For the first time in over 2 months - we had real racing to talk about - with Kevin Harvick taking a historic checkered flag at Darlington Raceway - his 50th Cup Series win (now 12th all time).

Special Wednesday Night Cup Series races coming up over the next two weeks - with a quick return to Darlington and then moving onto the Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend.

(16:40) Kevin Harvick with a historic 50th win in the Cup Series. The future Hall of Famer is now tied 12th all time for most wins. From when he took over the famed #3 in 2001 (#29 car), moving to Stewart-Haas and winning a championship - when he finally hangs it up, Kevin Harvick will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever drive. 

(18:50) NASCAR gives us Wednesday Night Cup Series racing, starting this week for the next 2 weeks (Toyota 500k).

(25:48) The biggest racing day of the year (Memorial Day Sunday) over 1260 miles of racing between NASCAR Coca-Cola 600, Indy 500, and F1 Monte Carlo Grand Prix.

(29:42) This week’s "Tony's 6 Degrees of NASCAR" features an actor who portrayed one of the most infamous villains in all of movie history, Ian McDiarmind (Emperor Palpatine - Star Wars Saga).

(32:20) What are we looking forward to for Memorial Day Weekend?

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.
