On this week’s episode of Frontstretch Happy Hour, hosts Bryan Nolen, Michael Massie and Dalton Hopkins are joined by ARCA Menards Series driver Presley Sorah to discuss his recent endeavors in ARCA racing and the state of the series itself.
Afterward, the group talk about next year’s NASCAR visit to the Coronado Naval Air Base in San Diego. Shortly after, they discuss the recent mid-season driver releases of both Josh Williams at Kaulig Racing and Kaden Honeycutt at Niece Motorsports. Why did these changes happen? Were they justified?
Finally, the quartet talk about Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway and debate if the track is to blame for its lackluster racing. Should it stay on the schedule? Should it be removed?
