And we're back, again. This week we're all about Road America, Silverstone, and soccer transfers. Come listen to us ramble, joke around, and Josh gives us a surprise. Enjoy!
Well that was entertaining.
The inaugural Cup race at World Wide Technology Raceway, previously known as Gateway, occurred this weekend and wow was it entertaining. With lots of bumping and blocking, to five-wide restarts, the race wasn't all that bad. The unfortunate thing was it raced similarly to Martinsville, Phoenix, and Richmond. Passing was difficult, something that has been an issue with these new cars on short tracks. Alas, we have hope that NASCAR and the teams will figure it out.
Enjoy this week's episode! Next week we will be off for vacation, so you'll be hearing back from us in two weeks.
The NASCAR All-Star race is supposed to provide fun-filled drama, smiles, and fans walking away with satisfaction of seeing an awesome event. Instead we walked away confused, bewildered, and flat out stumped scratching our heads wondering, "What did we just watch?"
Today that's what we're ranting about. So join us, maybe you'll agree with us.
Enjoy!
Another driver, William Byron, falls victim to an over-the-top retaliation from Joey Lagano after an amazing race from Darlington.
A glitz and glamor F1 race took over Miami for the weekend and it did not disappoint. It was more of a party that also included and F1 race. Red Bul showed their straight-line speed dominance, while Ferrari are lurking to pounce as the season continues.
We're back guys. Enjoy!
We took a small hiatus, but we're back. This week we discuss the Bristol Dirt Race. Did we like it? Enjoy it? Do we share the same opinions of many of the drivers and crew? Find out in this episode and see if you agree with us or not. Enjoy!
What's your choice; In N Out or Whataburger? Josh' answer will surprise you, but Nick's wont.
This week we break down all things COTA as NASCAR returned to Austin, this time without rain (praise). Our PO/YC/RC segment takes us on a journey with Wayne Gretzky, and we make predictions for the USMNT World Cup Qualifier match against Costa Rica. Let's go!
What a wild weekend for NASCAR at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, and man are we excited that we got to see it firsthand. This week that's basically all we're talking about, with some F1 and soccer sprinkled in. Oh we didn't forget our rants either, especially Nick, a lot. Enjoy!
Every time NASCAR returns to Phoenix we hope to see something different, something better, something unpredictable. The fact of the matter is we actually just look forward to restarts because of how unpredictable and chaotic they can be. With late restarts was the race even that enjoyable? I think most would say no. Alas, here we are discussing Chase Briscoe getting his first win, the upcoming return of the F1 season, and much more. Enjoy!
We kept this one short guys, but we chat about much we are loving the new cars, how Cali and Vegas were both enjoyable, and how Bowman isn't just backing into wins.
Enjoy!
NASCAR is back, like for real this time. These last two race (the Clash and the DAYTONA 500) have been absolute spectacles and have surely brought new fans to our sport. We discuss how much we enjoyed these last two weeks, add a new segment, and also express how we feel about some new drivers, one in particular. Welcome to the 2022 NASCAR Season everyone!
Before we get into what was an insane weekend of NFL Playoffs, we've gotta wish Josh a Happy Birthday!
Ok cool now that we've done that, was anyone else's emotions just ravaged one way or another after the Bills vs Chiefs game? Well we're going to give our take on the whole thing, including aw and disappointment.
We also tap into a new documentary coming soon, as well as some Premier League standings.
Lets get it.
Welcome back to RFRC, this time for the 2022 season! We are pumped to be back talking about our favorite sports, particularly motorsports, and even more so NASCAR. But before we get to NASCAR we've gotta talk about the insanity that is the NFL playoffs, as well as the BCS National Championship.
Also in this episode we take a live look into DAYTONA Testing and commentate for the very first time LIVE.
Thanks for hanging out everyone, we're really looking forward to this year!
It's the end of the year and we're back for one final episode before we take yet another break.
This week we do a quick recap of what we can remember from the F1 FINALE in Abu Dhabi and the incredible drama it created (thanks Masi). We also touch on a few things in the NHL but for some reason never talk about soccer. Weird.
Hope you guys enjoy! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We'll be back soon!
Just because NASCAR is over doesn't mean we are. This week on RFRC:
F1 recap from Brazil and Qatar.
International soccer update on the USMNT.
Confused practice & qualifying rules for the '22 NASCAR season.
We're less than two weeks from Josh getting married!
Let's go!

Post-season baseball is torture.

Unfortunately we were not able to record together, BUT we were able to record our top 5 moments of the weekend.
The ROVAL gave us the chaos we needed, continuing to solidify it's spot as a perfect Playoff race.
Chase and Harvick feud continues, but will it go on the remainder of the season?
F1 in wet Turkey.
We're both goobs.
Enjoy!
It's finally happened! Bubba Wallace got his first win at this weekend's Yellawood 500 in Talladega and Nick was there to witness it. This win has been a long time coming and we're here to talk about it. Please forgive us for being all over the map about this win, but there's so much excitement around this win that it's hard to keep it all together! Congrats to Bubba, Freddie Kraft, Booty Barker, and the rest of the whole team! It's so well deserved. Enjoy!
Was Las Vegas that bad? Did Gluck's "Was it a good race?" poll justify how the race actually was?
Once again, this week's F1 race proved to be fantastic, but not without everyone's heart breaking for Lando Norris.
We break down the EPL even though we were barely able to watch any of it this weekend, so feel free to fact check us on anything we said.
Enjoy!
Well we missed a week because life happened, but we're back once again! Bristol lived up to its beauty, Chase vs Kevin is a glorious thing, the Playoffs have been shook, and Josh & Nick talk a little bit of music. Surprise, we know. Enjoy!
Darlington lives up to her reputation.
Playoff drivers plagued.
Zandvoort is orange.
USMNT makes us nervous.
Michigan proved that the 550hp package can make racing very entertaining, but passing the leader still seems almost impossible. Join us as we discuss Blaney's win, power outages at Gateway, and the start of the '21-'22 EPL season.
We love weekends when multiple racing series' are on the schedule, on the same day, back to back. That's exactly what this weekend was with NASCAR at Watkins Glen Int'l and INDYCAR in Nashville for the Music City GP. Nick was lucky enough to attend the GP and is here to talk about his experience for the inaugural event. We also tap into the insane shift in European soccer as one of the biggest players of our generation goes to a new club. Enjoy!
You guys, it's here! The interview we've been hinting towards for a few weeks now! Our very first guest, Kristine Leahy, is on the show! She was awesome enough to sit down with Nick while visiting Nashville to talk about her career, her show "Fair Game", as well as attending her first NASCAR race at Auto Club Speedway just outside of Los Angeles. We also get an inside scoop on how drivers Kurt Busch & Ryan Blaney are outside of a stock car. A huge thanks goes out to Kristine for doing this and hopefully we can do it again soon! Hope you guys enjoy!
If there's a word that can describe this last weekend's races, then that word is DRAMA. Did Lewis intentionally hit Max? Was his penalty severe enough? Did NASCAR wait too long to throw the yellow when it started to rain? Kyle Busch hit the pace car! Yes that's right. Was Harry Hogge his crew chief on Sunday?
So many things to talk about, plus Josh has brought back Two Truths and a Lie for all of us to ponder over.
Thanks for listening everyone! Enjoy!
It's a heavy dose of soccer and racing this week as the guys reminisce on old times as Nick talks about his minor soccer confrontation at the CLT airport. The Euro 2020 tournament is officially over as Italy took the crown to Rome and England walked away in sadness. However in the COPA America Cup, Messi FINALLY won the cup for this first time in his international career, fighting against his former teammate Neymar is a fantastic show of soccer and sportsmanship.
Oh yes, racing happened as well. NASCAR was in Atlanta this weekend for the final time on the old surface and now old configuration. Is everyone happy about that? Nope! And we're here to talk about it so sit back and enjoy!
Ok so we're late posting this week's episode, but hey we made it!
Road America proved that it can be the new host of the July 4th race weekend, as it should. After all, wouldn't you rather spend a beautiful July 4th weekend in a beautiful part of the country rather than a hot & humid one (also know as Florida)?
F1 in one word: drama. And it's beautiful.
The Euro 2020 Final is set! Italy vs England! Who is going to win it all? We weigh in on our thoughts on how it may or may not turn out, but regardless it's going to be amazing.
We also give you a live, in real-time look into Tampa Bay taking home their second straight Stanley Cup.
Enjoy!
The double header at Pocono proved to be so entertaining! With tire blow outs and fuel strategy playing a major factor at the end of each race, excitement was definitely part of this weekend's races in the Pocono Mountains.
The Euro 2020 Tournament Round of 16 is over and wow it did not disappoint. With shocking wins, to impressive headers, this tournament never falls short of excitement.

"The reason Kyle [Larson] wasn't more emotional about winning [today's race] is he's won 75 races in the last 12 months." - Josh Vegas gave us lots to talk about, so join on us on this "knee jerk reaction" episode as we discuss Vegas, KB's questionable spin, and all the emotions that encompassed the weekend.
We look back on a race that Josh loved, Nick couldn't watch, and other fans didn't care for. Also City is probably gonna win the league this year.

We're pretty long winded in this episode, so come hang out with us for the next few minutes or so!

We talk about how Everton should have definitely lost to Liverpool after many missed calls occurred in the Merseyside Derby. We also discuss how dirty air proved to help Joey Lagano get a win and his ticket into the final Cup Playoff Round.
It's in the title. We love racing in the rain now matter the series, we also love football in the snow, just not yellow snow.
