The Racing Addiction

Welcome back to the Locally Hated podcast! This week we're celebrating the month of racing. Jessica, Greg, and Galen sit down with three generations of local racing talent: Todd, Ty, and Ryder Johnson. We dive deep into the golden era of Louisiana dirt track racing, swapping stories about track beefs, invisible methanol fires, and the insane science of sprint car setups. Todd and Ty share what it takes to master the oval and the leap from Superstocks to sprint cars. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Ryder talks about tearing up the national BMX circuit, holding state championships, and his sights on the Olympic track. Whether you're fueled by the smell of 110-octane racing fuel or just pure competitive rage, this episode has something for every gearhead.
