  • Thomas Annunziata & Drew Dawson
    Jun 10 2025

    Episode 140 is on the scene and we welcome Trans-Am Ta2 & NASCAR Xfinity Series Driver Thomas Annunziata to the show. We discuss his career which started in Karting, transitioned to racing spec Miatas and settling into the Trans-Am Ta2 Series where he was multiple events. This success opened doors to run in ARCA where he finished runner up at Daytona of all places in his debut. Thomas is working on pursuing a NASCAR career splitting a NASCAR Xfinity Series ride with Leland Honeyman for Cope Family Racing where he faces new obstacles with a relatively new team.

    Drew Dawson returned to victory lane in the Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division at South Boston Speedway on Saturday. The middle of the three Dawson brothers is our guest and we discuss his big win on Saturday and if he had any words with Zach Peregoy as the two raced hard in the late stages. He also reveals who he would bump out of the way for a win and if he is the best of the three brothers who all race at South Boston.

    We give a full review of God's Pit Crew/First Responders Appreciation night from South Boston over the weekend. Hear from Peyton Sellers, Trevor Ward and Landon Pembleton who finished up front in the late model division. The guys debate if someone who has problems during the first race of a twin bill should be forced to use scuffed tires that has as many laps on them as a driver who finished the first race? Trevor Ward had this happen to him on Saturday as he failed to finish race one but was able to win convincingly in the other race. We also spoke with Landon and Kendall Milam who won in Hornets and Pure Stock on Saturday and they reveal which one like their Uncle is going to do a backflip for the next win.

    We preview the Mini's Mission CARS Tour event from Dominion Raceway. Can Doug Barnes parlay past Dominion success to his first CARS Tour win? Can Connor Hall and JR Motorsports get back on track at a place he's won before? What about Kaden Honeycutt as he returns to the tour? We discuss it all here.

    We review the racing from Michigan where we start part one of a discussion about whether ARCA is still considered the rung below the Truck Series as a development level for talent to run in Trucks, Xfinity and Cup. This stemmed off Brenden "Butterbean" Queen's third win of the season that happened at Michigan over the weekend.

    We discuss the breaking news involving the Virginia Triple Crown, preview the Whelen Modified Tour stop at Riverhead, the ASA STARS doubleheader in Wisconsin, dubs, race of the week and more this week on DLN!
