Rutledge Wood - TST Podcast #827

Rutledge Wood is a stable in the car community. He is the host of "Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge", a new show on NBC where teams compete to make automotive dreams come true. But before that he was a host on Top Gear USA, and a NASCAR commentator for NBC Sports. He is as funny as he is kind (you'll see).

On this show we talk about his crazy builds; trading a school bus; buying a tiny Japanese truck; taking out Petty's trash; the new Hot Wheels Show; getting scared by Drake; the Kentucky Derby's secrets; being at the Indy 500; and so much more!

Recorded May 18, 2023
