Welcome to Episode 153 of the Inside Groove Show, the nation's premier Supermodified and short-track racing podcast hosted by Tom Baker and produced by Steering Wheel Nation.
This episode kicks off the expanded short-track coverage with Tom talking about the huge announcement that NASCAR and Whelen Engineering have increased the total championship prize money for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour by 250 percent for 2025 and beyond, and have increased the winner's purse and start money significantly as well. A review of the 2025 schedule is included in this segment.
Next, Oswego Speedway competitor Mike Bruce, one of the only racers to have competed in all three supermodified divisions at Oswego in the same season, joins the show to talk about his year and the upcoming ISMA MSS $10k to win event as part of the North-South Shootout at the Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, North Carolina on November 7 and 8. Bruce speaks candidly about his views on Oswego's Budweiser Classic Weekend, the downforce changes to the big block supermodifieds, and his plans for 2025.
Finally, Baker reviews the latest entry list for Caraway's big race, shares the details of the weekend's schedule, and talks about the other divisions competing at the North-South Shootout.
