Peyton Sellers is one of the greatest late model stock car drivers to ever strap on a helmet. Sixteen years ago, he became the youngest driver ever to win the late model stock car weekly series national points championship, and he’s earned his way to the top of the standings again this year. It’s really no surprise, though. After a year away from South Boston Speedway due to its closure during the pandemic, Sellers took the track title at Dominion Raceway in 2020. He’s back home at SoBo, dominating as he’s so often done before. However, he hasn’t won the national title since 2005. The year after that triumph, he began a journey out west that taught him some valuable life lessons – ones that he brought back with him here to his home in the Commonwealth. We dive deep with Sellers as he aims for his third Thunder Road Harley Davidson 200 victory this weekend at South Boston against a huge field of the best late model stock car drivers around. Hosts Dave and Brandon also discuss the importance of track announcers and their importance in bringing a race to life.
