2025 Season At Fremont Speedway With Brian Liskai

·1 hr 26 min·5 clips

Jamie Miller, the 305 champion, is deer hunting with spotty cell service—will his interview be a total train wreck?

The episode begins with hosts Scott Hammer and Ron Miller returning after a week off, troubleshooting technical issues in the studio. They outline the show's agenda: an interview with Brian Liskai about Fremont Speedway's 2025 season, attempts to reach 305 champion Jamie Miller (who is deer hunting in Southern Ohio with unreliable cell service), and year-end Spotify statistics. The hosts promote giveaways, including a Hammer Down Racing Report sticker and a Speedy Sponsors sticker, with a contest question about four-cylinder truck racer Phil Hicks's home track. After sponsor reads, they deliver a racing roundup with results from Australia and the US, including the Las Vegas Grand Prix and Jason Leffler Memorial. Brian Liskai joins the show, discussing his 41st year of announcing and memorable 2025 Fremont events like Cole Mesito's High Limit win and the Jim Ford Classic. Liskai highlights Fremont's in-house streaming service, Rev Limit TV, which attracted a global audience and allowed the track to retain all revenue. He previews the 75th anniversary season, teasing a potential 'super huge event' and possible format changes like an enduro series. The conversation covers champions like Cap Henry (17 wins) and Sean Valenti, younger drivers to watch, and the upcoming awards banquet. After Liskai's exit, the hosts discuss racing news, including the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule, and the NASCAR antitrust lawsuit involving Denny Hamlin. They read Hammer Down hotline texts, with one asking about Ron Miller's 2026 win prospects, and share Spotify data showing the podcast's growth and international reach. The episode concludes with a 'how many' contest for Toledo Mud Hens hockey tickets and reminders about next week's show on Butler Motor Speedway champions.
