2020 wrap up

 

2020 did not go as planned for Speed Talk on 1360, the pandemic and social distancing rules made it difficult to do at track interviews and even for our hosts to be in the same studio together.  We did do one special Daytona 500 broadcast on Facebook that you can see here Daytona 500 2020 Special

Many race events were cancelled but it also opened up the opportunity to visit some new or seldom visited venues.  Here is the story Jason submitted to the Midwest racing connection on this interesting race season.

We lost a dear friend to the racing community, long time car owner and sponsor Richard Timm from Discount Taxi.  Jason had the opportunity to talk to Richard himself plus some of his family, friends and drivers before his passing.  



Robby Carter talks about Richard Timm

Our NASCAR reporter from day one, Jordan Bianchi, is now covering NASCAR for the Athletic online subscriber based paper, he is one of the best reporters in the sport.  Follow him on Twitter Jordan Bianchi on Twitter or listen to his weekly podcast by searching "the Teardown."

After 10 years on KRWC radio the future is uncertain for Speed Talk on 1360, Jason and Dean have both been part of the racing media for 30 years and that will continue, don't count us out.  Thank you to our long time sponsors and supporters, I hope that you enjoyed it half as much as we did.   One thing is for sure we will hope to "See you at the Track." - Jason and Dean-o
