Wes Irwin — a familiar face in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series for the past 8 years — joins the Dirty Right Rear Podcast ahead of one of the biggest weekends in Sprint Car racing: the Federated Auto Parts Ironman 55 at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Missouri.

🏁 Wes dives into:

  • His day-to-day with the Outlaws: driving the legendary merch trailer, running social media, and supporting youth in motorsports
  • His transition from racer to racing advocate, and the wild ride in between
  • What it's like living full-time in an RV and navigating the country without a car
  • Adopting his cat Marble and what makes cats the perfect travel companions
  • His friendship with Kenny Wallace (and yes — borrowing his Suburban)
  • How he's helping young racers grow through his Youth Development Program
  • Why social media is no longer optional in today’s racing scene

💪 The episode drops just in time for the Ironman 55 — the longest and most grueling race on the World of Outlaws schedule. With 55 laps, $25,000 on the line, and the dumbbell trophy awaiting in Victory Lane, this race at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 demands everything from drivers — stamina, skill, and sheer grit.

🌪️ Wes also reflects on his travels, favorite stops, and the highs and lows of life on the road. The podcast wraps with plans for Wes to resume his iconic live merch trailer arrival videos and a few big surprises to come.
