Bring it on Stevie, I believe Ryan Martin would drag your ass. Money isn’t everything in no prep racing. That being said, I believe you have the character to make the show. And believe it, it is a show. I love the NHRA, but they need a show and the production team to make that show for tv viewers to pick a fav, spend money, and support drag racing. No matter the class or platform. Love you Stevie! Love Pro Mod racing. Keep being the ambassador.

Thanks Wes Buck for all the cool content

[@jayh7310]

I know this is a little old but does Stevie know he can race his way in the invitational race.. I would love to see him in NPK.

[@markthompson2440]

One of my favorite memories was walking threw the pits at my home town track Bandimere speedway in the mile high city. I saw Wes Brook... I walked up to him and asked if I could get a picture with him.. he said sure..you came across as super nice person.. I was so excited that the world series of pro mods was coming to Denver.. After meeting Wes I found my heros pits Stevie Fast..after watching him and his crew working on the car he was super cool and signed my shirt .If that wasn't cool enough I went into the stands and got to see Stevie do a strait up quarter mile burn out.. It was amazing!! The crowd went nuts it was amazing.. I've been to 20 plus mile high Nationals and that was hands down my favorite event I've ever seen... Can't wait to see you guys again...

I only found out about Stevie fast cause of street outlaws, I love what Stevie is about and I love his trash talk. I’m a no prep fan and would love to see him in the field getting his feeling hurt or putting people on the trailer and going rounds. How could it hurt to bring more attention to this form Of racing?

[@fueljunkieracing3667]

Great interview as always with Stevie. I would love to see him make a run at NPK, but understand the hesitancy from his side. As a 30+ year marketing/advertising executive I also understand the stats and demographics that are required for the sponsors to write a check. Huge fan of Drag Illustrated and Stevie. Keep it up.

[@stanger8259]

Great show. I met both of you at the same track Orlando speed world. Different time of course

[@bcracing204]

What the average race fan don't realize about Stevie fast is the man is ......Smart.....and has taken junk race cars that wouldn't fall out of a tree and turn it into a car nobody wanted to stage up against not to mention the other two badass that run and tune the car with him ......on the other hand I got a lot of Respect for the top guys running in NPK and they are definitely some smart guys in there but if NPK keeps giving out 400 dead Benjamin's to win ......the three headed monster of Stevie fast,Phil shuler and Billy Stocklin will figure out away to get in a NPK race and start taking all that lunch money back to Georgia......No disrespect to my NPK guys that I become a fan of butt guys this is like tugging on supermans cape......but it would be a huge and I do mean life changing huge for drag racing and especially for NPK. 🤔😲😲😲

[@gregsimon9061]

Stevie is just the best ambassador for the sport that there ever was and if people think he was knocking NPK they missed the whole point of his funny video.

[@frankier3075]

If Stevie fast actually gets the slowest guy in the NPK bracket and makes him a force to be reckoned with I would just die laughing! I want to see this happen so bad!

[@timothynalley7802]

Not Stevie specifically, but a lot of the NHRA guys shit all over the Street Outlaw guys initially. The first couple of seasons of NPK it consisted mostly of guys who were known for street racing. It was a bunch of street racers who started no prep. It wasn’t until the SO shows started killing NHRA in ratings, fans in the stands and big payouts that NHRA guys wanted to run NPK. Now, no prep has become more and more a money game for the best teams . Swanstrom for example has never ran on the streets yet is doing well in NPK which tells me that the track is GREAT after a few test passes. What they should’ve done is run these races back of the track if they want to simulate the street so that you don’t have to have a 400,000 car to compete.

It took that kid yrs to hget his visor signed by u because you only run(RADIAL TIRES) maybe 6 races a year. You guys are hard to find.NO PREP TO THE FRONT.

[@gullreefclub]

NHRA has totally screwed up drag racing because of the way the treat sportsman racers never mind the fact that they impose safety rules for totally freak accidents or mishaps. The reason NoPrep is so popular is because NHRA so far has not gotten its hooks into yet. The reason that NPK is not giving Stevie a direct answer on how to get in is simple Street Racing/No Prep is all about actions sure there is a absolute f#@k-Ton worth of smack talk but when it all said and done whoever wins the race be it on the street or on the track is right then and there the BMF of the day. Additionally and this does sound stupid but every fan of Street Racing and No Prep has a very blue collar attitude and by in large Street Outlaw fans and No-Prep competitors and especially the fans remember clearly how the NHRA in no uncertain term Sh*t all over them with the letters that they sent out to anyone that had appeared on the Street Outlaws show in season in late 2014 early 2015 saying they would suspend their competition licenses. Admittedly the NHRA tried burying the hatchet with Justin Shearer aka “Big Chief” when Erica Enders facilitated a sit down between Justin and the NHRA which ended with Shearer getting his ProMod license and racing the CrowMod at the 2016 US Nationals and basically got his butt handed to him partly because of lack of money but mostly because Shearer wanted to race a Pontiac based engine and not a Hemi (personal I believe Justin’s unwillingness to run a Hemi in the CrowMod was more financial and I only want to race a Pontiac engine was and still is an easy excuse). Lastly the powers that be in NPK tv show don’t want their show hero’s dethroned by a fast talking professional NHRA ProMod racer because it would kill the everyman appeal of the show and is why racers who are not super competitive have such fan appeal.

[@stewartbennett4829]

NHRA SHOULD HIRE THIS GUY AS THEIR MARKETING AND PR CHIEF.

[@motownXJdad9565]

The NHRA has $hit on street racers, street outlaws, and no prep for decades, why in the hell would anyone with street cred just let some one in who has done nothing but talk $hit about them directly into the big show without following already established rules about racing your way in. just because youre Stevie Fast? nah.

Wes has a lot of good info and questions, but he needs to back off a bit and let Stevie (and his other guests) talk and finish their thoughts. Constructive criticism - I think it would make Wes a better interviewer, and make for a much better show. Just my two cents. Compare early Joe Rogan podcasts to today...he used to do the same thing, but he learned to listen better and make sure his guests were able to get everything out, and I think that's the main reason Joe has such great podcasts now. Take note Wes...please.
