The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 9 | Justin Grant - PART 1

Justin Grant has stayed with lots of people, in lots of different places in order to race lots of different cars. From Ione (eye-own) to Indianapolis, Grant has lived the classic life of a big time dirt tracker's life if only it were 60 years earlier. Starting as a pre-teen, Grant began riding couches and guest beds to get to outlaw kart races. Today he's a long way from the guest rooms, and shop mezzanines he grew up in, but he is still the same hard nosed racer with the energy of a first time competitor.  This and all episodes of The Couches That Made Us are also available on Youtube and Apple podcasts.  Manufactured and assembled in the United States since 1948 Hasty Bake Charcoal Grills has been leading the way in grilling, smoking and baking longer than another U.S grill company in existence.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 8 | Clinton Boyles

Clinton Boyles is in a truly great place both professionally and personally today. But he will be the first to tell you that he took the hard way to get there. Boyles has been a star of the Flo Racing broadcasts of the Tulsa Shootout and the Chili Bowl Nationals every winter for the last several years. He has raced, and worked on almost everything in dirt track open wheel racing that there is. And he has stayed with, and worked for some of the best in the sport. Boyles sits on the couch - the low point of his birthday, no doubt - to tell the stories of where he stayed and what he learned... but opens up his vest completely and like no other guest on the couch, to explain what he did to lose some of the best opportunities in his career.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 6 | Chris Wheeler

From The Couches That Made him... to HIS couch and guest room that helped make TLP. Chris Wheeler is a mover and a shaker in the world of big time IndyCar, dirt track and grass roots racing. He has been a crew guy, a spotter, an announcer, a promoter, a driver agent, and a whole lot more. By his own admission, Chris is an Indycar lifer who has not always taken the easiest route to get to a variety of high level opportunities in big time motorsport. He's learned many things from many people on his journey, and he's passed some of it down to the young racers - and even one not so young looking announcer - who he has put up on their own journeys. This and all other episodes of The Couches That Made Us are available on Youtube, and Apple Podcasts.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 5 | Conor Daly

Simply put, Conor goes anywhere and everywhere to drive race cars. Today that means bouncing from team to team, but not so long ago, it meant surfing couches and guest rooms of friends and even competitors.
