Built2 Media Podcast
Built 2 Media Podcast is where racing, real stories, and complete chaos come together. Hosted by Blake and Ben, two racers (or former racers depending on the week) who think they know everything about dirt track racing, the show mixes race recaps, hot takes, arguments, laughs, and plenty of unfiltered moments. From breaking down wild nights at the track to talking life outside the pits, no topic stays serious for long.
Each week features guests from all levels of racing — from local legends to rising stars — sharing how they got started, their biggest moments, and their honest take on the racing community.
If you love grassroots racing, bench racing with your buddies, and podcasts that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is the show for you.
⚠️ Warning: foul language, bad opinions, and occasional stupidity encouraged during recording sessions.
