"...common men doing uncommon deeds." --Ken Squier
Woody Pitkat is one of New England’s most prolific winners of the 21st century. From his humble start at Stafford Motor Speedway to victory lanes in the big shows at New Hampshire, New Smyrna, Wall Stadium, and more, he has more than 150 wins in Modifieds and Late Models – sometimes in the same night – and about 150,000,000 stories from a wildly popular career.
It's hard to believe that Tyler Cahoon has been racing for 27 years, but it's true. After a strong start and a championship in Thunder Road's four-cylinder Street Stocks, he began winning in the Late Models at White Mountain Motorsports Park immediately. All these years later, he's still winning, and (just like his dad, Stacy) he remains one of the most well-liked drivers in the Northeast. Catch up with "Ty-One-On" this week on Uncommon Deeds!
Gabe Brown had the good fortune of growing up next door to Northeastern racing icon Dale Shaw. He quite literally grew up in the chassis shop, learning how to work on racecars, how to drive racecars, and - just like Dale - how to get people's attention. Although he's only 21, he has already accomplished more than most racers two or three times his age ever will. A champion of the Granite State Pro Stock Series and a winner with PASS and ACT, Gabe Brown has become one of the brightest young stars in the region and one of its most controversial.
It's a heater of an episode as the guys sit down with Pat Corbett to hear about his brush with the Hell's Angels, the devastating wreck at Sanair, his Memorial Day win, what lead to his Thunder Road banishment, his championship redemption at White Mountain and why at 65 years old he's ready to make a comeback... All that and more on this episode of Uncommon Deeds!
The Uncommon Deeds Podcast was created as an homage to Kenley Dean Squier, who taught us, Tom Corbett and Justin St. Louis, how to work effectively in sports media and give audiences a reason to care. When we lost Ken in November, the only thing for us to do was once again shine a light on him.Join us as we recount memories of the voice of American motorsports, the founder of Thunder Road, Catamount Stadium, and the Motor Racing Network, the guiding force of Radio Free Vermont at WDEV, and - all at once - a common man from Waterbury, Vermont, who made a habit of doing uncommon deeds.Hear memories and thoughts from Ken's daughter, Ashley Squier, and her husband, Robbie Crouch, along with Kevin Lepage, Dave Dion, Brian Hoar, and Aaron Maynard, sprinkled in with select audio clips from our previous shows and some of Ken's memorable calls.We thank you for your continued support of the Uncommon Deeds Podcast, and we hope that this show brings you as much joy and comfort as it did for us.--Tom & Justin

Mark "Bones" Bourcier is America's leading motorsports author and journalist. From hitchhiking to Plainville Stadium to having weekly lunches with Indianapolis 500 champions, there are damn few who can rival his journey of turning a fun hobby as a teenager into a career respected by many of the greatest racing personalities in the world. He penned high-quality articles at Gater Racing News, Speedway Scene, Stock Car Racing Magazine, Trackside Magazine, and Open Wheel before writing books with and about the likes of Parnelli Jones, Tony Stewart, Bentley Warren, Richie Evans, Bugsy Stevens, Bill Simpson and many more. Get to know this legendary storyteller this week on Uncommon Deeds!
Justin Comes has been doing it the right way since he was a kid. At 15, he was a fan who had never been in a pit area but decided to give Mini Stocks a try. After winning a championship in his first year, he jumped up to Sportsman Modifieds, where he has made a name for himself ever since. It hasn't all been easy, though - with no knowledge, no money, and often just his dad, Tom, as the only help, he has been forced to learn every inch of the car himself and get better over the years, and he has done just that. Get to know "The Highside Hustler" this week on Uncommon Deeds!
Tom and Justin check in for the first solo “Story Time” episode of Uncommon Deeds, presented by PRO HEAT of East Montpelier, VT. This week’s Story Time asks questions like this: Who was a better racer – Dave Dion or Jack Johnson? If you look strictly at the win totals, it’s pretty lopsided. But if you ever saw them both race, it’s just about a dead-even argument. We take a look at why win totals are so far apart between dirt and asphalt racing, and how drivers like Matt Sheppard and Jean-Paul Cyr can be considered equally dominant, yet be more than 400 wins apart. PLUS: Our first appearance by a mouse!Link to Auto Racing Research Associates (ARRA) Website: https://sites.google.com/site/arradocumentingracinghistory/
Andy Santerre is a bona fide New England racing icon... and a great storyteller! You'll be speechless as you hear about his early fight with a paralyzing virus and how it served as his motivation to start driving racecars. The rapid rise from his first Super Street race at Speedway 95 to victory lane in the NASCAR Busch Series was unlikely at best, and it serves as the basis for some incredible memories. And, of course, there was that amazing run of four consecutive Busch North Series championships and the highs and lows of that period. Enjoy our chat with a legend on this episode of Uncommon Deeds!
Racing dirt Modifieds was the safest thing that "The Flying Farmer" Gene Munger ever did. He was a hometown star at Devil's Bowl Speedway, but that's just a small piece of who he is; he's been shot, he has fallen through ice (twice), he wrapped his motorcycle around a deer, and he's wrecked some racecars, but he's still standing upright and telling the stories! You CAN NOT miss this episode of Uncommon Deeds!
"The Ricochet" Paul Richardson is one of the greatest Supermodified drivers that New England ever saw, and he just might have had the most fun, too. You'll love his stories from the road, his start in racing, and his life in the sport. His runs with NESMRA, ISMA, and especially at Star Speedway made him a legend among legends, while beating top talents like Ollie Silva, Bentley Warren, and many more. But, he was an incredible Pro Stock driver, too, beating Dale Earnhardt, winning with ACT, and writing history at Catamount Stadium. We have a feeling that we just barely scratched the surface with this one, but it's a great episode! All this and more this week on Uncommon Deeds!
Derek Gluchacki has developed quickly from being an unknown rookie into a dominant force. Still just 21 years old, he is already established as a bona fide American-Canadian Tour championship contender, with big wins at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Oxford Plains Speedway, Hickory Motor Speedway, and more. Learn about his start in Legends at Seekonk, his recent stints in Late Models, Pro Stocks, and Modifieds, his nine-win season in 2022, and where he's headed in the future. All that and more this week on Uncommon Deeds!

There's a reason why they call Chris Donnelly "The Professor" - he's been schooling everyone for almost 40 years. With more than 180 wins and 25 championships to his credit, this multi-division star could very well be the greatest dirt driver that New England has ever seen. Find out what makes this veteran tick in this episode of Uncommon Deeds!

Take a trip around the world with Kelly Arrison - a Vermont native who made it from Monadnock Speedway and Claremont Motorsports Park to Indianapolis, LeMans, Beijing, Pikes Peak, and a whole lot more. You'll laugh at the story of his first start, and you'll be amazed at the places he's been, the cars that he has engineered and driven, the races that he's won, and the people that he has worked with. From VW Beetles on dirt to Porsche 962s at 200 mph, from Sprint Cars at Kalamazoo to IndyCars at Phoenix, from Late Models at Claremont to the big tracks of NASCAR... From Bill Alsup to David Loring, from Geoff Bodine to Franck Fréon, from Al Holbert to his son Tim Arrison... We barely scratched the surface, but, man, what a ride!
This episode is wild, hilarious, deep, honest, and full of incredible memories. DQ is regarded as one of the greatest privateer AMA Superbike riders in history, is one of only a handful of drivers to win a NASCAR Busch North Series race on a short track, a superspeedway, and a road course, and now at age 62 he's going ARCA and Truck racing in 2023. Buckle up - this episode of Uncommon Deeds is a must-listen!
Nick Heywood could quit at age 34 and still go down as a legend. After six track championships at Airborne Speedway, a title at Mohawk International Raceway, and a huge Modified win at Fonda Speedway in 2022, he is in the conversation as one of the North Country's best racecar drivers of all-time. He mixes a fun sense of humor into stories of his brief career as a school teacher, his role now as a corrections officer, and being part of a diehard racing family. All this and more this week on Uncommon Deeds!
Roger Brown went from being a "terrible" four-cylinder racer to becoming an Oxford 250 Champion in only a decade.

Catch up with him this week on Uncommon Deeds for a fun look back through a short but stellar career!
Alex Labbé is one of the Northeast's most promising young stars who has been a champion at every level, from karting and ATVs to the Série ProCam Super Trucks, and from ACT LMS Québec to the NASCAR Pinty's Series. Now, he's outperforming expectations with DGM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and trying to score that elusive first win. Catch up with him this week on Uncommon Deeds!

We're back this week with Mike Parks - a guy who has given far more to the sport than what he is currently receiving in return. He was an accomplished driver in his day, but more importantly he founded the Granite State Pro Stock Series and got Claremont Motorsports Park back on solid footing - only to get kind of a raw deal recently. We explore all of that and much more in a great conversation with one of racing's good guys!
We just want to check in after the holidays and remind everyone that we have a YouTube channel and a new Pop Up Video out looking at the Mid Season Championship at Thunder Road from 2000... Link Below

The lessons that rookie Dave Camara learned were taught by two of the greatest drivers on dirt: “Jumpin’” Jack Johnson and “Barefoot” Bob McCreadie. He brought Vermont to victory lane in far-off places like Cornwall, Frogtown, Granby, Can-Am, and his beloved Fonda Speedway, as well as locally at Devil’s Bowl and Albany-Saratoga.
