The Also-Ran Broadcast is a motorsports podcast dedicated to the racers whose stories are rarely told.
An also-ran is defined as a competitor who finishes a race outside of significance—but behind every finish is a story worth telling. We focus on the hard work, passion, and perseverance that fuel racers, teams, and crews who compete without the spotlight.
This Christian-based podcast honors the grind of racing while glorifying Jesus Christ, aiming to encourage listeners and bring light, hope, and purpose beyond the checkered flag.

Andy J Takes on BriSCA F1 Stock Cars! | Our Reaction
Producer Josh brings host Derek along for a reaction to Andy Jankowiak's trip across the pond to compete in Britain's wild BriSCA F1 Stock Car Series at Skegness Raceway.
The guys discuss the full-contact action, bumper-to-bumper battles, and the refreshing camaraderie between drivers in a form of racing that might surprise American motorsports fans. They also talk about Andy's passion for racing anything he can get behind the wheel of and why grassroots and international racing deserve more attention.
It's a conversation about racing culture, old-school competition, and the people who live for motorsports.

Is 15-Year-Old Everett Larson the Next NASCAR Star? | Legends Car Driver Interview
What does the future of NASCAR look like from the perspective of a 15-year-old racer?
In this episode of The Also-Ran Broadcast, we sit down with Everett Larson to talk about his journey from go-karts into Legends Cars and his dream of eventually racing in NASCAR.
Everett shares the story of how a lost letter helped lead to his friendship with NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie, how iRacing has helped him develop as a racer, what it's like learning Legends Cars alongside his dad, and the lessons he's already picked up at such a young age.
We also talk about Everett's goals for the future, the people who have helped him along the way, and why he hopes to someday give another young racer the same kind of opportunity and encouragement that Corey LaJoie gave him.
This is a look at a young racer before the NASCAR spotlight—and maybe the chance to say you knew Everett Larson before he got there.

NASCAR Has a Tough Guy Problem… | The Also-Ran Broadcast
Derek Nelson and Producer Josh are back for an unscripted episode of The Also-Ran Broadcast.
After a break from recording, the guys catch up on what they've been doing away from the show, including Joshua's work with KLAS Motorsports and ARCA, Derek's trip to Ireland, and Josh's recent experiences at Daytona, Kansas and Bristol Motor Speedway.
The conversation then turns to NASCAR's current racing product, ARCA and grassroots racing, Ryan Preece, Austin Hill, RFK Racing, and why the guys believe some of the best racing can still be found outside the NASCAR Cup Series.
Then things get heated as Derek and Josh discuss the recent Martinsville fighting controversy and ask a bigger question: what does it actually mean to be a tough guy in NASCAR? They compare today's drivers with old-school racers like Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt and others while discussing whether toughness is about fighting—or earning respect on the racetrack.
No guest. No script. Just two racing fans catching up, talking NASCAR and letting the conversation go wherever it takes them.
This is The Also-Ran Broadcast.
