Winless in 2022, No More | Hamlin Takes Richmond

This past week, #NASCAR racing returned to Richmond Raceway - where Denny Hamlin hit the restart button on his season. Although the race was dominated by two drivers, Ryan Blaney (led 128 laps) and William Byron (led 122 laps)...it was Denny Hamlin who piloted his #11 to victory lane. This week’s #RaceReactions segment starts out with 10 to go and William Byron leading the race, which we already know is NOT where he finished.

In a special look back, we recall our race experience from 6 years before at the same track - when we watched Carl Edwards bump his then teammate on the last turn of the last lap - to win the 2016 Toyota Owners 400. What makes that race even more memorable for our family, we recorded Sebastian’s raw reaction - as he saw his favorite driver, Kyle Busch, go from leading the race to being bumped out of the lead on the last lap. Although it wasn’t the result he wanted…Sebastian’s raw emotional reaction was a great example of how much our family loves NASCAR. Finally, we look forward toward the Martinsville race, with our #RacePicks for the following week.

About the Podcast

Let's Go Racing Family Podcast
A family podcast dedicated to our view of life through the lens of racing and NASCAR.
The Let's Go Racing Family Podcast is about our love of NASCAR, travel, and just being a family. Our family includes Mom, Dad, and our three boys (Sebastian - 18 yrs old, Giovanni - 15 yrs old, and Johann - 10 yrs old).

We thought a podcast would be cool way for us to share our own opinions and tell our own stories.

We have different show formats that will alternate throughout the season (Race Recaps and Let's Go Racing Family Xtras). Race Recap episodes will feature our family discussing story lines from previous races. The Xtra episodes, will feature more variety segments, such as "6 Degrees of NASCAR - connecting pop-culture to NASCAR in less than 6 degrees of separation" or "Racing Through Life." Every weekly episode, regardless of format, will include Race Picks - where our family make our picks for who we think will win the Cup Series race that weekend.

This is a new adventure...so join us as we explore the world of podcasting and racing.
