Racing with Jesse Rucinski

Kurt Busch has had one amazing NASCAR career.  He will obviously be a first ballot Hall of Fame driver.  There has been a lot of rumors going on to his recovery from the concussion he suffered at Pocono Raceway and why he pulled his medical waiver.  I'm going to go over my feelings on it all coming from the perspective of someone that has had severe concussions and knows what those...

Thank God for American Flat Track for giving us some good racing.  F1 saw Max Verstappen dominate by over 10 seconds and his teammate Sergio Perez in 2nd by seconds over third place.  Then we get to NASCAR in Daytona and all of the wrecks and stupidity in decision making that happened during those races.  It is pretty easy as to how to resolve tracks getting rained on before NASCAR...

There is a lot to cover with Walter.  We start out getting his take on last weekend's action from Watkins Glen and some of the on-track incidents that happened to include Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott.  We also discuss how bad the start of the Cup Series race was.  We then discuss all of the racing action coming this weekend from MotoCross, the return of F1, Formula 2, and Formula 3...

I'm not sure if everyone was watching the prerace show from Watkins Glen on USA but I know the clip has made its way around.  Kyle Petty said that Kyle Busch deserves everything he has and the right to have a high asking price while also saying he needs to stop being so selfish in the same breath.  Maybe it's just me but I don't think it's really his place to make said statements because...

I have no complaints about James Stewart going into the AMA Hall of Fame all on his own.  The career stats and what he meant to the sport earned him that right.  We will discuss his career stats, his rivalries, and much more.

There was a lot of racing to cover from over the weekend.  There was MotoAmerica racing in Pittsburgh, NHRA at Brainerd with a lot of cars slipping and sliding, IndyCar action at WWT Raceway, and the ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Cup Series at Watkins Glen.  I go over the action, call out any stupidity, compliment Amber Balcaen for showing some fire this weekend,...

There is a lot to cover for this weekend of racing and I get through it pretty quick for all of you today.  I discuss series that are off this weekend to include AMSOIL Championship Off Road, the NASCAR Truck Series, F1, and several others.  I then discuss the series that are racing this weekend like MotoCross, American Flat Track, IndyCar at WWT, NASCAR at The Glen, and several others i...

There was a lot of racing action on the tv from over the weekend.  There were many series that finally aired from prior weeks to include NHRA Sportsman Series, American Flat Track, AMSOIL Championship Off Road, and many others that we go over.  We then move onto the racing action from over the weekend.  From the season finale for Formula E in Seoul and a champion crowned, NHRA, and...

I had respect for Denny Hamlin when he was a NASCAR rookie.  Since then, his run ins with Danica Patrick at Daytona, Chase Elliott at Martinsville Raceway, and the way he "got even" with Ross Chastain at Pocono Raceway have changed that opinion.  His handling of winning the Daytona 500 with Ryan Newman upside down and on fire was the cake topper for me as to what kind of human being he i...

If the Truck Race was a precursor for today's Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway, then NASCAR is in trouble.  The coverage from the Fox Sports booth was the usual and making piss poor excuses for the one incident that happened on track.  Man, I hope it isn't a sign of things to come later today.

There was a lot of news to discuss from the racing world in the realm of NASCAR.  We discuss Kevin Harvick winning last Sunday in Michigan and what that could mean going forward.  We go over the series running this weekend to include BTCC, MotoCross, NASCAR Trucks and Cup, and several others.  We then move onto all of the news that has come out here in the last several hours.  ...

First and foremost, we need to start off the show sending congratulations to Walter and his wife on the birth of their baby girl yesterday.  With that being said there was still a lot of racing on the tv from over the weekend.  There was IMSA coverage from Road America, World of Outlaws Late Models and Sprint Cars, IndyCar in Nashville, NASCAR in Michigan, and several others series along...

We are long winded today, but it is a great one.  We discuss all of the racing action from last weekend and why we prefer the road course at Indy over the oval racing from the last several years.  We mention all of the series that are off this weekend and for a while to include the NHRA, MotoCross, Formula 1, Formula E, and several others.  We then move onto the short list of racing...

There was a lot of racing over the weekend both televised and not televised and I will be discussing both.  We start out with the MotoAmerica races in Minnesota and the tragic loss of Scott Briody due to injuries sustained in a qualifying session wreck on Friday.  I then move onto NHRA, Formula E in London, F2, F3, W series, and F1 in Hungary, the ARCA and Truck series at IRP, and the In...

There is a lot to cover today.  We start by getting Walters take on last weekend racing action to include the Fanatec GT World Challenge race from Watkins Glen, American Flat Track at the Port Royal Half-Mile, the IndyCar doubleheader at the Iowa Speedway, the SRX season finale at the Sharon Speedway, NASCAR at the Pocono Raceway, and several others.  We then briefly discuss those races...

There was a crazy amount of racing on tv over this weekend and I'm bringing you all of it today.  There were some series I don't get to cover a lot that raced this weekend with the Fanatec GT World Challenge racing at Watkins Glen and the Ferrari Challenge North America racing on the road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  The American Flat Track race from the Port Royal Half-Mi...

How hard can it be to sit down and properly schedule start times for races depending on where they are racing?  The ARCA Menards Series got the shaft again in my opinion last night at the Pocono Raceway because it got dark well before the race was over.  Whoever at NASCAR and FS1 that thought starting the race at 630 was a good idea should be canned.  They also shortened the General...

It is a jam-packed show with a lot of news to discuss.  We start with getting results for races we couldn't watch from Walter to include the Pintys Series, American Flat Track, and the Whelen Modified Series.  We get his take on the racing action from last weekend from the NHRA, Ken Schrader and Hailie Deegans runs in the SRX Series, Indy in Toronto, and the Xfinity and Cup Series races....

There was a lot of racing action from over the weekend.  I start with the Formula E doubleheader from Brooklyn and the results from those races.  I then move onto the NHRA Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway, the IndyCar Indy Honda Toronto, SRX at the I-55 Raceway, and the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series from the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  I give credit to drivers that deser...

Did anyone else hear what Ty Dillon said on Friday before Xfinity Series qualifying? I know I am slightly confused by his response to the news of his departure from Petty GMS before their first year together is even done. He stated that he still knows he will win both races and championships in the Cup Series. I think he must've forgotten how bad it went for those 5 years with Germain Racing befor...

Walter and I cover a lot today. We start by discussing the dominance that Jeff Burton had back in the day at The Magic Mile, SRX on the dirt, Kurt Busch playing the long game, Larsons new racing series he's starting next year, and Denny Hamlin being a dick.  We then move onto the series that are off this weekend with F1, and the ARCA Menards Series and NASCAR Truck Series off until next weeke...

Today, it is a later one but for a change I am joined by Walter for a Monday show and my list of races from the weekend is actually longer then his.  We cover a lot of races, topics, and news from across the racing world.  We discuss British Touring Car Championship, Moto America SuperBike, Extreme E, Trans AM at Road America, Fanatec GT Europe, AMSOIL Off Road Championship, AMA MotoCros...

There was a lot for me and Walter to discuss today.  We get his takes on the races he got to watch last weekend to include AMA MotoCross at Red Bud MX, FIA action at Silverstone, SRX at Stafford, the NASCAR action from Road America, IndyCar at Mid-Ohio, and most importantly the actions of Noah Gragson towards Sage Karam and the useless penalties NASCAR gave him for his actions.  We then...

I must start out saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the racing that I got to watch over the 4th of July weekend.   From the races my DVR recorded that was finally airing, the races it recorded from the weekend, and the races I got to catch live.  A very successful weekend across the board in my eyes.  From AMA MotoCross action at Red Bud, American Flat Track at the Lima Half Mile...

I am once again riding solo, but it is a quicker episode covering a great weekend of racing.  We have the American Flat Track at the Weedsport Speedway, SRX race at Stafford Motor Speedway, IndyCar running at Mid-Ohio, F1 at Silverstone, and the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series racing at Road America.  Some shoutouts to some racers that made history in the last week as well in MotoAmerica a...
