The People of Peoria Podcast

This week we visited Mike Chasteen Jr a local dirt track driver! This episode is not about a bunch of "left turns" trust us. Mike talks about the business and marketing side of the sport the doesn't often get talked about. If you know nothing about dirt track racing trust me Reagan (Co-Host) does not either but after this she was very intrigued. Be sure to check out his social media posted below!
