Drag Illustrated: The Wes Buck Show
Wes Buck is the founder and editorial director of drag racing's leading publication Drag Illustrated, as well as the promoter of the CTECH World Doorslammer Nationals presented by JEGS - amongst drag racing's biggest independent races. Above all else, he is amongst the sport of drag racing's biggest fans and proponents - oft-preaching the gospel of what he calls "the great American motor sport". In his show, he interviews drivers, tuners, industry members and media types - along with the occasional (often) racing-inspired rant or "hot take" - with a focus on storytelling and entertaining.
