The Bent Fender Podcast

We talk about racing families and legacies often. There really isn't a more well known young group of men in the area than the Shock Brothers. Carl, flagman at Windy Hollow and racer in his own right stops by to talk about what it means to be part of the community and where we stand today.

It's a welcome return to the studio as our guest, Eddie Campbell comes by the studio to share his experiences in the world of broadcast journalism and announcing. We turn the tables on him by making him the subject of the interview, not the interviewer. It's an awesome conversation and we are happy that he accepted our invitation.
