HERE IT IS! We are so stoked to roll out this episode with some incredible guests! After pure domination at RedBud, Chad Wienen starts us off by talking about his weekend and a look to the future with just a few events remaining in the 2020 season. We'll do a full rundown of the action at RedBud before welcoming former Pro Class podium finisher Nick DeNoble to the show. Nick made his return to the track after a seven-year hiatus, so we talk about that and go in-depth about his racing career. He was so pumped to join the show and it made for one of our favorite segments we've ever done here on the podcast. Our third guest is a gentleman who adores the sport for many reasons including: freedom, inclusion, treatment, and more. Todd Macke was born with Cerebral Palsy, but after 33 years riding ATVs, it's safe to say that his condition didn't stop him from becoming a well-known member of the ATV community. Listen as he tells his amazing story, talks current racing, and fills us in on his weekend at RedBud! Lastly, Ryan Smith finishes things off by giving us an early look at Lake Sugar Tree. The owner is preparing to host his first ever ATV national, and you'll be excited to head to Virginia after hearing from him. Current racing talk, stories of the past, good laughs, conversations about life, and more – you'll find a little bit of everything in this episode! Thanks for DIGGING DEEP into another very special episode with us, enjoy!
