EP113 Fuel, Fire, and Future Gas Prices

Welcome to the Racing Insider’s Podcast!

Each week, Kate Dillon from Crate Insider and Steve Hendren from Hendren Racing Engines go live on the Crate Insider Facebook page to chat about world events, random things, and to answer tech questions.

This week the guys answered awesome fuel questions, as well as gave their opinion on what the gas prices will cause for the future...and who is being most effected. The guys have had a great weekend getting caught up. Steve even had time to get his ombre' hair cut. Kate has been working full time to make sure she has the parts racers need on the shelves and gives us insight to what is in stock this week!
