The meanest, nastiest, and most no-holds barred diesel trucks in the country  gathered in Indy to do battle on the dyno rollers, on the drag strip, and with a sled hooked to them. There are trucks showing up that make a documented 3,000hp and others that are literally being finished as you read this.

The Fun Field car show, the massive swap meet, a strong car corral, huge tents

If you’ve ever seen them race up the “driveway” at Goodwood, you know that it is narrow, fast, and intimidating for drivers. There have been plenty who have ended up in the grass, into the hay bales, or in a ditch. So what’s it really like from the driver’s perspective? What are they seeing out the windshield? I’d love to race the road, but until then, this is the next best thing right here as we’re getting in car footage like never before. The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an automotive event

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an automotive event of epic proportions, held on an insanely beautiful British estate, and not only does it feature amazing cars, performances, and more, but it is also one of the must attend social events of the summer.

We’ve got live racing action from Canada’s Mission Raceway Park, one of the most beautiful race track settings in the world, for Race #9 of their JBS Equipment ET bracket racing series.

The gang from 1320Video got all the action once again from what may be the most epic 4th of July celebration in the country.

We’re about done with Street Week Sweden 2026, and it has been amazing. It has been a whirlwind trip that I will never forget and can’t wait to do again next year. I have repeatedly said just how cool these people, tracks, and cars are, but it’s just not enough. This event is truly something special and I can’t wait to tell you more. But until then I’m sharing photos I’ve snapped around the show, in between interviews and announcing the races. I am going to share a bunch of photos, but this is G

As Ohio’s Right to Race legislation advances to the state Senate this fall, lawmakers recently had the opportunity to experience firsthand exactly what they are being asked to protect.
