The High Performance Expo was a big success, and the Kibbe Boys (i.e. Rob and Dallas) got the chance to take in even MOR than just the High Performance Expo itself. Thanks to NHRA Superstar Clay Millicaon and KAFS Show Super Stud Listener (and Hendrick Motorsports employee) Austin Darling we got to visit not one, but TWO NASCAR Shops; Rick Ware Racing thanks to Clay, and Hendrick thanks to Austin! Both were outstanding experiences to get a true inside look at the craft, business, tech, and reality of a NASCAR life. At Hendrick we even got the chance to attend a Bible lesson over lunch AND visit Rick Hendrick’s personal car and memorabilia collections. It was nothing short of unbelievable! Austin surprised us with his ’68 Newport sitting out front of Hendrick Motorsports, complete with a 440, A/C, steelies, and a tribute name of “Sweet Tilly” in honor of Uncle Jesse’s Dukes of Hazzard Season 1 moonshine car. You can follow him on Instagram via @pawpaws_speedshop and on YouTube at Paw Paw’s Speedshop as well. . For a full recap (and 2 hour bonus show special) from the High Performance Expo be sure to listen to The MuscleCar Place Episode 612. ======================================== Ron Francis Wiring Brings you the Celebrity Automotive Birthday! https://www.ronfrancis.com ======================================== Docuseries Discussion: Earnhardt Series Summary: We’re doing a double header in this episode as we continue our “Month of Racing” for June 2025. To cut to the chase, if you haven’t seen the new Dale Earnhardt docuseries on Amazon Prime yet….you need to. It’s an in redible production detailing the true life and drive of Dale Earnhardt, success, flaws, and all. It’s told through the eyes of Darrell Waltrip, Dale’s racing competitors, and especially his children; Kerry, Dale Jr, and Kelly (his 4th child Taylor is not onscreen). It’s a remarkable series, and while you’ll leave with respect and awe for the man on the track….you’ll have a true lump in your throat about how he lived in life, and what he lived it for. This is not a paid endorsement or review at all, nor is this an affiliate link. This is just our honest take on what is (in our opinion) an outstanding series and worth your money and time! Enjoy.

We originally reviewed the Burt Reynolds Classic “Stroker Ace” in Episodes 117 and 118 as well as the month end Patreon show in July of 2019. Enjoy! Movie Summary: This is it! After waiting years to prepare we finally did a full review of the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie. This was a $50Million dollar big screen production of our favorite TV show, featuring our favorite car doing the best big screen performance any car has ever performed, ever (we’re looking your way, Bullitt). Other than the car…..this isn’t the TV series Dukes that you know. Boss Hogg (played by Burt Reynolds) is skinny. Rosco is mean, not goofy. Bo is scared of women. Luke can’t drive. Uncle Jesse is crass. But….if you can get past all of that and leave it for what it is, we loved it. Our man Corndog was onsite for the entire filming of the movie in Louisiana and had the full skinny on every car there that played the General Lee (all 27 of them). ======================================== National Parts Depot Presents: Bernie on the News! https://www.npdlink.com.
