Two Races in One Week - Part 3

In this episode, we discuss another week of two cup races in less than 5 days. Martin Truex Jr. won the historic night race (first time under the lights) at Martinsville Speedway. Then for the first time in years, there was a race at Homestead-Miami Speedway that did not crown a champion. The first in-season race since 2001, saw Denny Hamlin dominate with all three stage wins and leading the most laps. This race also featured another on-track run-in between Chase and Joey Logano - giving credence to their budding rivalry. 

This week’s 6 Degrees of NASCAR features the voice of Olaf from Disney’s FROZEN, Josh Gad. Finally, in our Racing Through Life segment, we discuss the recent announcement by NASCAR to ban the flying of the Confederate Flag at all future events.

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.
