To most Speedway people you say the name Jeff Leisk and you think, yes he drove a Sprintcar and owned a very successful team. But there is a whole lot more about this man and Stu chats to Jeff about how his racing of motorbikes started and the journey along the way, USA and Europe all on two wheels.

Most people know the name Skip Jackson, but what about his Mum (Maureen) & his five brothers, Jeff, Bob, John, Paul & David.

Over the years in Speedway there has been some extremely good female Sprintcar drivers but no one else has the records that Kelly Linigen holds. Loves a laugh and beer, while Stu sat down with her they certainly did both.

Brad was in Australia to race Sydney's Speedweek at Valvoline Raceway this summer and I was lucky enough to catch up with him, he is one very relaxed human being that loves to race.
