103. Derrick Lancaster: I Knew I Was Good To Go

Derrick Lancaster could have easily lost his life last year. With his car on fire, he couldn’t move his arms as his crew scrambled to free him from a wreck at Kingsport Speedway. At that moment he was more concerned about the condition of his car than himself, simply because of his old-school take-care-of-my-own-equipment mentality. Months later, Lancaster (7:00) was leading the field at Daytona International Speedway in the 2021 ARCA Menards Series opening event. The Christiansburg, Va., native’s love of racing began when he followed Ronnie Thomas to races as a kid and lives on to this day through his late model and ARCA endeavors. You can’t help but feel his passion when he speaks, and that was evident in his post-race interview after a sixth-place finish at Daytona. He tells us those stories and more. Hosts Dave and Brandon dish on new seating capacity news and the return of racing in The Commonwealth with fans at a higher level as we enter the 2021 racing season.
