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.

This one’s packed with stories.
On this episode of Built2Media, we sit down with local street stock legend Mike Knudtson for a high-energy, no-filter conversation about the past, present, and what’s coming next. From intense rivalries and hard racing to wild wrecks and unforgettable nights at the track, Mike brings the stories that only true racers can tell.
We dig into the moments that shaped him—memories with his dad, his biggest wins, and the competitors who pushed him to be better every single night. And yes… the stories get as good as you’d expect, including: “I grabbed the water cannon, and told him to go cool down.”
But this episode goes deeper than racing.
Mike opens up about stepping away from the track, focusing on family, and how life has changed in the best way. From his weight loss journey to feeling better than ever, this is a side of Mike people don’t always get to hear. We also talk about the future—what 2026 could look like, and whether the next generation of Knudtsons might be getting behind the wheel sooner than you think.
This is more than racing—it’s legacy, growth, and real-life perspective from one of the most well-known names in the local scene.
