2017 was the 9th year of Speed Talk on 1360 radio on KRWC and SpeedTalkon1360.com

Jason interviewed drivers from Elko Speedway and Dean Reller interviewed drivers from Granite City Speedway every week.

We had the opportunity to interview some retired NASCAR stars this year at events organized by Mystic Lake Casino, and also during the Kyle Petty Charity Ride.
