The biggest event of the Greenville Speedway season welcomes drivers from across the region in multiple classes, all battling for big paydays around the 1/4-mile Gumbo bullring.

1️⃣ - On this week's show, we'll chat with Hohenwald, Tennessee, driver Tyler Wood after his fourth CRUSA National Points win of the season in five features with the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman. But what's even more impressive are his 2026 stats as a whole!

This season, Wood has scored 12 wins in 15 features, with a worst finish of second! He opened the 2026 season by winning the Ice Bowl at Talladega Short Track, and since June 20, Tyler has won eight features in eight starts!

Wood currently has 35 all-time wins in Crate Racin' USA competition between the CRUSA Modified Sportsman and CRUSA Dirt Late Models. In 2024, he finished fifth in the National Points standings, besting his sixth-place finish from 2021.

We'll ask Tyler: What's the key to the consistency, and can he keep the streak alive?
