With Sprintcars on the VAILO Adelaide 500 schedule, we thought it was time for another catchup with world renowned driver, James McFadden who will be racing the NAPA Auto Parts backed Hodges Motorsport #5 in Adelaide.

The Aussie speedway star made an emotional speech at the recent High Limit Series banquet announcing his retirement from full time racing in the USA, but it’s not the end of the road.

J-Mac talks about the reasons behind his shock decision, explains what’s next and shares some highs and lows from his time in the States.

We look ahead to a significant moment for the sport (in this part of the world) and what his expectations are with the Hodges Motorsport team this weekend.

It’s been a hell of a ride for J-Mac, but as you’ll hear he’s at the peak of his game and still deeply loves turning left and standing on the gas! Enjoy the ride.

A huge thank you to Tim Hodges from Hodges Motorsport for making this chat possible.

The ‘Grig & Grig’ show is back after Murph’s recent run in a VN Commodore in the awesome Heritage Touring Car support races at the Bathurst 1000 where he was also a Fanbassador!

The gig went so well he is now off to the season ending VAILO Adelaide 500 in a similar role. Speedway, Supercross, plus Cold Chisel, Crowded House and now with added Murph!

Back to the Shortcast, we talk about that forthcoming Supercars title decider plus reflections on the Bathurst and Gold Coast rounds. Why the best is yet to come for Ryan Wood at Walkinshaw Andretti United, Richie Stanaway’s new home and why he’s flying again.

There’s the new Next Gen championship over summer which fittingly includes the next generation of Murphy’s getting behind the wheel and the mic!

It wouldn’t be complete without some thoughts on Liam Lawson’s performance at the F1 races in Texas and Mexico, where the next young Kiwi open wheel stars might come from as the Tony Quinn Foundation continues to help open doors.

And Murph’s passionate pursuit of better driving standards for young motorists in his native New Zealand through his excellent Street Smart program.
