   Episode 95: All In, Tire Tests, & Everybody’s Got a Price

   Episode 95: All In, Tire Tests, & Everybody’s Got a Price In this episode: Josh and EJ cover a busy stretch of dirt racing, from tracks facing uncertain futures to a new Hoosier sprint-car tire test and High Limit’s growing charter system. They also break down a dramatic championship turn at Lakeside and recap the racing that set up two major season finales. Josh and EJ discuss Gas City Speedway’s $2 million asking price and the hope that it remains a racetrack, alongside other tracks facing sales or uncertain futures. Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vermont, is removing its asphalt and returning to a true dirt surface. Tyler Nelson earned his second straight USAC Midwest Thunder Midget championship, while Matt Williamson was disqualified from the Outlaw 200 after tech inspection found an unapproved intake manifold. A Hoosier test at Eldora brought 10 teams together to try an 18-inch right-rear sprint-car tire. Josh and EJ weigh its potential against tire durability, costs, and sponsorship concerns. They consider what Joe Gibbs Racing’s interest in High Limit could mean for charters, team economics, and competition with the World of Outlaws.
