Episode Description from the Publisher

No one knows the realities of professional auto racing better than Tommy Joe Martins, co-owner of Alpha Prime Racing in the NASCAR O'Reilly Series. On the heels of the release of his short film "Underfunded", motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck sits down with Martins to discuss the inspiration for the film: his time spent as an independent car owner in the NASCAR garage. Jeff also chats with Austin Cindric to look ahead to NASCAR's upcoming visit to Echo Park Speedway in Atlanta, where Cindric has flourished over the last few seasons. Finally, Jeff reacts to NASCAR's latest penalty debacle involving Shane Van Gisbergen and Austin Hill. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
